Rolling blackouts may soon become the norm in parts of the U.S., much like they are in places like North Korea and Pakistan.
Imagine, third-world America is no longer an unbelievability.
Even the mass propaganda media is finally admitting the shift to green energy may prove to be catastrophic.
The Washington Post has warned:
The shift to green energy is threatening Americans’ power supplies—our power grid is being pushed to the brink.
Demand is skyrocketing for electricity:
– Northern Virginia, where the equivalent to several big nuclear plants is needed to handle all of the upcoming data centers there,
– Georgia, whose projected new electricity use for the next decade is 17 times greater than recent figures,
– Texas, where there are already routine electricity shortages on the hottest days of summer, growing demand could push it to a breaking point, and
– Arizona’s biggest utility expects to be out of transmission capacity before the decade closes.
As the Post noted:
Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid.
They cite the rapid scaling of cloud computing and AI as part of the problem given its great demand for power. Crypto mining is also placing pressure on the grid, causing bottlenecks and other issues.
Also, manufacturers of clean technologies such as electric vehicle batteries and solar panels are building a lot of factories in the U.S. with support from federal incentives, and utility projections for the power that new factories will need in the next five years have nearly doubled and could grow more.
Further, the energy transition is pushing many Americans to depend on the power grid for fueling their cars, induction stoves, heat pumps and other appliances that no longer run on fossil fuels.
The chairman of electricity regulator Georgia Public Service Commission, Jason Shaw, said:
When you look at the numbers, it is staggering. It makes you scratch your head and wonder how we ended up in this situation. How were the projections that far off? This has created a challenge like we have never seen before.
You “wonder how we ended up in this situation.” Have you considered this is all by design? Remember, Barack Hussien Obama and his promise to fundamentally transform America into a sh*thole.
