There is absolutely no excuse for power shortages

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.

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.
