Reliance on ‘Renewables’ Makes Widespread Blackout Nightmare More Likely

Imagine taking the subway to work when the train comes to a sudden halt halfway between scheduled stops. You pull out your smartphone to go online and see what the problem is, but you have no reception – no cell signal, no internet.
Hours later, rescue workers arrive to extract you and your fellow passengers from the stalled train. You make your way to the street in hopes of taking a taxi or an Uber. But without your phone apps and with credit card machines inoperable, you are forced to search for an ATM – only to discover those aren’t working, either.
You soon realize that everyone else is in the same predicament. Hospitals operating on emergency backup systems. People trapped inside elevators. Traffic snarled due to inoperable stoplights. Gas station pumps not functioning. Airport terminals closed. People in darkened homes desperately searching for candles and battery-operated radios to learn what’s happening.
