There is absolutely no excuse for power shortages
DAVID STROM 3:31 PM on December 26, 2022
 
Power outages are usually the result of acts of God, or at the very least discrete events. Thunderstorms, hurricanes. Events we know will happen, but ones where the costs of hardening the grid outweigh the benefits of doing so. Resilience is built into the system by investing in infrastructure to repair damage in a reasonable period of time.

Power shortages, though, are a different beast. Shortages result from human failures, particularly a failure to plan for predictable increased need for power. Relying on intermittent power sources, insufficient backup, and failing to invest in reliability.

Life in the 21st century is built upon a foundation of abundant, affordable, and reliable energy. First world countries ensure all 3; and unless energy is abundant, affordable, and reliable it is impossible to retain 1st world status. It is almost impossible to live in a modern industrialized society without consistent access to power.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

All non-nature related power shortages are self inflicted.

Since this phenomemon began maybe 5 years or so ago, I'd love to know how many people have actually died due to Climate change actvist whackos and their impact of electrical generation and grid managment.

Bet it is a number the MSM sure isn't going to share.

That seems so elementary it shouldn't require being said out loud but here we are!

Another reason was the most pressing wars right now that conservatives need to fight is killing ESG.
