Blackouts possible this summer due to heat and extreme weather, officials warn

[Doc Dutch]

Only the ignorant would buy your bullshit. Joe Biden constricted American fuel production on day 1 of his presidency, and now he's trying to buy from Venezuela.

That's where we're at right now and you can fuck off with your bullshit.

Only an idiot thinks any President can wave a wand and fix everything that is wrong with America. I blame these assholes for most of our problems...and the people who voted for them:

[Doc Dutch]

That's funny. That should be the right-wing motto, "Never appeal to authority" or "Never listen to those most knowledgeable on the subject of anything".

Do you go to a doctor when sick or appeal to your neighbor with the Fuck Biden flag in his front yard?

Most of them are hypocrites; they bitch about handouts then take every handout offered. They bitch about doctors then ask for a doctor whenever they have a boo-boo. They scream "Make America Great Again" then spend all day bitching about our great nation and seeking to tear it down.

Hey fuckstick; How is those "13 Nobel prize economists" pick doing with the American economy?

Inflation highest in 40 years? Gas prices the highest ever? Food and commodity shortages?

Looks to me like they don't know about much. They picked a guy that has fucked up the economy so bad, it's hard to fathom it being worse.

But hold onto your ass, cupcake; Because it WILL get worse before summer's out.

Biden waved a pen and fucked the world economy. It shouldn't be even possible, but somehow it is.

two states with the biggest investment in wind energy are Iowa and Wyoming......I'm not aware of blackouts in either.....

what puzzles me is California, which has brown outs with a declining population base.......perhaps illegals use more electricity than legals because that seems to be the only demographic still growing in CA.......

naybe the term "biggest" explains the difference. Others may be less successful at gauging out output and thus come up short.

California is the most populous state. Other variables are the coldness of winters and the hotness of summers.

Example: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=49036

Weather is a significant driver of residential electricity sales in the United States. During the summer, warm weather increases electricity consumption in homes as residents use air conditioners, fans, dehumidifiers, and other equipment to maintain comfortable temperatures. During the winter, colder temperatures increase consumption as residents turn on heating equipment to keep their homes warm.

The extent to which cold weather influences residential electricity demand during the winter depends on home heating fuel choices. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 39% of U.S. homes use electricity as their primary heating source.

Per capita U.S. residential electricity use varied widely across the states in 2020, from 2,018 kWh per person in Hawaii to 6,663 kWh per person in Louisiana. Nearly all of the states with the highest residential electricity sales per capita, such as Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, are in the South census region, where air conditioning and electric space heating are most prevalent. About 64% of southern homes heat primarily with electricity, compared with about 25% of homes outside of the South.

The only state with relatively high per capita residential electricity use outside of the South is North Dakota, which has the coldest average annual temperature in the Lower 48 states. About 41% of homes in North Dakota heat with electricity.

In 2020, per capita residential electricity use decreased in many of the states where electricity is widely used for home heating, including many states in the South. In 2020, the District of Columbia’s per capita residential electricity use fell 4% compared with 2019, a larger decrease than for any of the states, followed by Arkansas (-4%) and North Dakota, Indiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Missouri (-3% each).

However, per capita residential electricity use rose significantly in the West census region; many states in this region experienced their warmest summers on record in 2020. Arizona’s per capita residential electricity use increased 10% compared with 2019, the largest increase of any state, followed by Nevada, Alaska, and California (9% each).

It's going to be a long hot summer. How many Global Warming converts will vote Democratic at the end of it?

Blackouts possible this summer due to heat and extreme weather, officials warn

All of them. The Church of Global Warming stems from the Church of Karl Marx.
You poll is left unanswered, since you did not provide the correct options.

It is not possible for any gas or vapor to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing.

It’s going to be hot with a chance of blackouts

https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/21/polit...-what-matters/
After millions of Americans went without power due to cold, heat, wildfires and hurricanes last year, we wrote here about the need to pay attention to the power grid.

This year, blackouts will probably be back
CNN’s Tyler Mauldin, a meteorologist, wrote this week about a stark warning from NERC, the regulating authority that oversees the health of the nation’s electrical infrastructure.

In a reliability assessment for the coming summer, NERC predicted that excessive temperatures and ongoing drought could cause the power grid to buckle.

The high temperatures will increase demand for electricity.

Meanwhile, drought conditions will reduce the amount of power available.

Bottom line: The US power grid does not react well to extreme temperatures, either cold or heat, but more extreme temperatures are guaranteed because of the climate crisis.

There is no national power grid. The SDTC is not the U.S., and is has not been a State of the Union for many years now.
Apparently you don't seem to realize that temperatures in the northern hemisphere are warmer in the summer than the winter.

'Climate crisis' is a meaningless buzzword.

[Into the Night]

We are not to mention that the grid needs something like $2 trillion in investment, and that we dont have enough electric production capacity, nor that there is a big push for intermittent energy production.

Its global warmings fault, because it cant be our leaders fault.

Most places have sufficient power sources. One big exception is the SDTC.

[Into the Night]

Gee, it's like this problem was suddenly discovered after January 20th, 2021.

What problem?

It's both our leader's fault

Fault of what?

and global warming's fault,

It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. No gas or vapor has the capability of warming the Earth.

meaning all mankind's fault.

Leaping to conclusions.

Anyone who looks at it intelligently

You don't. You are looking at it religiously...as a fundamentalist.

knows that something like this can take years to fuck up and unfuck.

Something like what?

It's not one of my areas of expertise

Obviously.

so I use NASA,

NASA is not the temperature of the Earth, nor can they measure the temperature of the Earth. They can't falsify the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, or the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

the same people putting us on the Moon,

Not the same people. NASA has changed a lot, dude.

back on the Moon

NASA can't get to the Moon today.

and throughout the solar system.

NASA can't put any man on a planet today.

OTOH, I don't listen to insane people afraid of dying on the Internet...except to study them.

Psychoquackery. Trolling.

NASA can't measure the temperature of the Earth, or cause the Earth to warm. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You are STILL ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics.
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=3][I]In Brief:
Direct observations made on and above Earth’s surface show the planet’s climate is significantly changing.[/QUOTE]
Hallucination. There are no such observations. Climate has no value associated with it. What is changing? There is no such thing as a global climate. Earth has many climates. Your use of this term (and the term 'climate crisis') is just a synonym for the Church of Global Warming. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. It is not possible for any gas or vapor to warm the Earth.

Human activities are the primary driver of those changes.

What changes? Human activities does not falsify the 1st law of thermodynamics.

Tell the people who are the problem; the corporations and large businesses AKA Large Political Donors who maintain the problem against the best interests of We, the People.

Follow the money.

Right out of Marx. I always knew you were a communist.

[Into the Night]

Same for Russia. The thing is, neither China or Russia can make us do anything We, the People don't want to do. Same for Israel despite all the freedom haters, anti-Semites, Pedo Nazis and WSEs. We elect our own leaders and make our own choices.

Anyone who believes their life is driven by others is living with a Victim Mentality. They are losers. Let them rot.

You just denied your own argument again.
1) Man caused 'global warming'. We must do something about it.
2) Anyone who believes their life is driven by others is living with a Victim Mentality. They are losers. Let them rot.

Which is it, dude??

[Into the Night]

This energy transition is just like everything else the Elite Class attempts being fucked up.

Intentionally or not I dont know yet.

This is going to hurt.





"GLOBALWARMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Interference with energy markets is fascism. It's always a fuckup.

Do you live in the part of Texas that is tapped into the natl. grid?

There is no national grid.
