The near future. No Sun, No Wind, Big Problem: Benign Weather Could Cause Blackouts in States With Green Grids, Officials Warn
"I'm afraid to say it, but I think the United States is heading towards a catastrophic situation," Federal Energy Regulatory Commission member Mark Christie said during a May Senate hearing. "The problem is not the addition of wind and solar, it's the subtraction of dispatchable resources like coal and gas." North American Electric Reliability Corporation president Jim Robb echoed Christie's sentiment during an April press conference, calling the newfound reliance on green power generation "highly concerning" given the increased demand associated with "electrification policies and electric transportation."
So. Less electricity generation and more demand (for electric vehicles and the like.) What could possibly go wrong?
I love it when legislators pretend that they understand engineering and physics. (Hat tip to Small Dead Animals.)
Germany’s Growing List of Bans: Next Up: Wood Stoves and Heating With Wood! Oil and gas are already planned…
ReplyDeleteSince the Socialists and Greens took over power in Germany a year and half ago, the government has announced one ban after the other. It’s becoming clear that the climate movement is all about stripping citizens of choices, comfort and ability to move around.

What comes to mind is that in the near future people (the working class) will have so many hours/day allotted to use electricity. After you've used up that time/amount, no more until the next day - or whenever the govt allows you.
