NERC warned power supplies in the Western US could be strained this summer as a historic drought reduces hydroelectric power generation due to falling reservoir levels and what's expected to be an unseasonably hot summer. Compound the hellacious weather backdrop with grids decommissioning fossil fuel power plants to fight climate change and their inability to bring on new green power generation, such as solar, wind, and batteries, in time, is a perfect storm waiting to happen that will produce electricity deficits that may force power companies into rolling blackouts for stability purposes.

Yeah, it says blackouts are coming. Just what you posted Professor Poofter. You’re up pretty early this morning Poofter. Did an alarm go off at your nursing home?
I'm not a bright man but it has occurred to me that if you do not generate enough electric now then reduce it by discontinuing to use fossil fuels then add hundreds of thousands of electric car charging nightly something bad is going to happen. I will gladly withstand wind, rain, floods drought, hurricanes, fires, and anything else blamed on fossil fuels to light my home, run my air cond. and heater, drive my truck , work at my job and continue to live a good life.
