Electricity Update: When will the dumb-ass citizens of America finally wake-up and REALIZE their lives, safety, and health are being VASTLY affected by "engineered" perpetrations?

We are ABSOLUTELY getting set-up now for a summer of intentional shortages and blackouts. Utter criminal horseshit!

Another nuclear plant closed down in Michigan as America's energy grid gets systematically dismantled

On the very same day that the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) issued a report stating that the United States electric grid is lacking in capacity, regulators shut down the Palisades Power Plant in Michigan.

Despite warnings that America’s electrical grid is collapsing, which will likely result in rolling blackouts this summer, the 811-megawatt nuclear facility is no longer operational. (Related: Germany is also phasing out all of its nuclear plants in order to go “green.”)

The Midwest is especially at risk, according to NERC. There is a “high risk of energy emergencies during peak summer conditions,” the group warned as the key Midwestern energy generator was shuttered for good.

Biden is sleepwalking into a summer energy crisis

June 02, 2022, 12:01 AM

By  Washington Examiner

For a president whose chief of staff reportedly begins each morning by checking the average price of gasoline, Joe Biden's administration is awfully dismissive of warning signs that the nation’s electrical grid can't handle the summer heat.

Last month, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a nonprofit electrical grid watchdog, issued a new report warning that two-thirds of the United States faces a heightened risk of power outages this summer.

Part of the problem is adverse weather conditions. A drought in the West has diminished hydroelectric capacity, and a drought in the Missouri River Basin is denying thermal generators the natural cooling they need to stay operational.

But not all of the grid’s troubles are related to weather.

Government regulations and taxes designed to reduce carbon emissions have also caused a huge loss in generating capacity from power plants reliant on fossil fuels. The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (covering a 15-state region extending north from the Gulf through the Midwest) alone has 3.2 gigawatts less power capacity this summer than it did last year, all due to the retirement of fossil fuel power plants.

“We are headed for a reliability crisis,” Mark Christie, a Republican-appointed commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said, noting that utilities are being forced to move too quickly to supposedly “renewable” energy sources such as wind and solar. “We’re just not ready yet,” Christie warned.

Power Grid Operators Warn of Electricity Shortages

A U.S. energy crisis is emerging and electricity power-grid operators are warning of the potential of rolling blackouts as the summer heat arrives.

The peak electric demand period and high temperatures will lead to a shortage of supply, California's grid operator warned Friday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Both the Midwest and Texas operators have also signaled potential electricity shortages for the peak demand summer season, according to the report.

Energy experts sound the alarm about the U.S. electric grid: “Not designed to withstand the impacts of climate change.”

As heat ramps up ahead of what forecasters say will be a hotter than normal summer, electricity experts and officials are warning that states may not have enough power to meet demand in the coming months.

And many of the nation’s grid operators are also not taking climate change into account in their planning, even as extreme weather becomes more frequent and more severe.

All of this suggests that more power outages are on the way, not only this summer but in the coming years as well.

Power operators in the Central US, in their summer readiness report, have already predicted “insufficient firm resources to cover summer peak forecasts.” That assessment accounted for historical weather and the latest NOAA outlook that projects for more extreme weather this summer.

But energy experts tell CNN that some power grid operators are not considering how the climate crisis is changing our weather — including more frequent extreme events — and that is a problem if the intent is to build a reliable power grid.

“The reality is the electricity system is old and a lot of the infrastructure was built before we started thinking about climate change,” said Romany Webb, a researcher at Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. “It’s not designed to withstand the impacts of climate change.”
