!!!! DO NOT LET THEM CLOSE YOUR EXISTING ELECTRICITY GENERATION STATIONS !!!!
We are not any different ... we are just slightly behind the Germans ... if there is a brutally cold Winter in New England ... utility regulators will need to decide to ration natural gas for electricity generation or heating.
Many of my enighbors supplement their oil or propane heat by burning wood. One neighbor just installed a Generac backup generator.
I supplement my oil heat with electric mica-thermic space heaters.
The limousine liberal NIMBY solutions will be:
1.) energy relief programs (government cash gievaways)
2.) windfall profits taxes on "greedy" energy companies
3.) more wind turbines, solar panels, and storage batteries
One outfit is apply to transform a local underutilized stripmall into a energy storage battery farm. Won't heat my house, but will make my smug neighbors with Summer homes on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard feel better about themselves.
