For some reason, consumer demand for electricity is expected to skyrocket this summer. And this, we are told, will lead to blackouts all across the country.

perhaps the United States should stop sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and instead “fix the country.”

Naw!

I had a 6 month temp job at a coal power plant 15 years ago. My trainer told me the first day that the longer I worked there the more surprised I'd be that the lights turned on every time I flipped a switch.

Buy more electric cars!

I, no shit, work for a company so hopelessly woke that they want to spend half a million dollars to electrify an existing well head outfitted with a diesel pump for some idiotic sustainability goals.

They stood like deer in the headlights when Informed them that eliminating an alternate power source for the pump and going exclusively to the grid, for a substantial fee, was a colossally stupid idea.

SSDD. we're always going to be sitting in the fucking dark and yet...every time you turn around they're BUILDING something else to latch on to the supposedly overtaxed grid. You cant have it both ways.

They expand load but refuse new baseload supply. Nuclear is a must if the grid is to survive. "Green" at grid level must be limited or removed.

> Nuclear is a must if the grid is to survive.

That's bullshit. We have plenty of oil and gas to generate electricity.

America has 1000+ years of coal available to drive power plants.
