How America Is Weakening Its Electrical Grid

power plant closedIn the year 2000, there were fewer than two dozen major power disruptions in the United States. In 2020, there were 180.

How did our electricity get so much less reliable?

A number of factors are at work in the growing instability of the grid. For one thing, much of our electricity infrastructure is aging — over 70 percent of power lines are approaching the end of their lifecycle. [emphasis, links added]

For another, extreme weather events pose a significant danger given how much of the country’s electricity infrastructure is aboveground.

One more significant part of the problem: the way we’re using renewable energy.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
