‘Energy-Limited Resources’: Huge Swaths Of America Face Blackout Risks If Winter Is Bitter, Grid Watchdog Warns

Hundreds of millions of Americans risk experiencing power shortages this winter if weather conditions are harsh, according to a new report published by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a power grid watchdog.

Nearly all residents of the Northeast, Texas and Midwest could face energy shortfalls in the event of a colder-than-usual winter, the NERC report states. The lack of grid reliability is driven largely by growing electricity demand as well as the replacement of coal-fired and older natural gas-fired generators with energy-limited resources such as solar power.
 
“Foreseeable extreme cold temperatures have the potential to push the existing natural gas supply infrastructure to maximum capacity,” the report warns. “Serving winter load is becoming more challenging and complex as coal-fired and older natural gas-fired generators retire and are replaced by variable and energy-limited resources.”

Anybody foolish enough to believe that ANY of this "Green Energy" BS is going to work when you most need it deserves to freeze in the dark!

The only blackouts we will experience will be from high winds and storms knocking down trees and them hitting a Trans line

The problem is, in areas that know better, and for whom power is life (literally), will we watch those huddled masses in the urban enclaves who called for this dreck find a way to siphon off the electricity and leave us 'less enlightened' folks in the dark.

Could be, but it won't happen in Texas.

So that's what you Florida guys do with the LBGQT crowd, you use them to build power lines?

Most especially the state of New York which has the largest US gas field underlying it and will not permit anybody accessing it.

Like a farmer denying his family the food he is growing in the cornfields.

Actually it already did happen in Texas didn't it? 2 years ago, I remember reading a story about a mom finding out her son had actually frozen to death in his room.
