This will be the reality here in the states in a few years. I live in a formally red state, now blue. I have seen the forecasts for the next few years for my company in this state. We will be 2000 MW in the hole within 5 years. The transmission lines aren't large enough to bring that amount of power from out of state, plus every other state will be having the same issues. On top of that we will be retiring "aka shutting down permanently" nearly 1000mw of older units in my company alone. Upper management is scrambling to setup dozens of simple cycle units (40mw each) to try and compensate for the shortfall. Last i heard, they haven't even made the purchase yet. My memory is a bit foggy, but they are calling these gas units supplemental renewable units.
These rolling blackouts will be easier to manage due to smart meters. Kinda like they knew what was in store.
I would lose 60% of my family. I fear that I am right, but pray that I am wrong.
Good luck with your job search. If your thinking about a change in career, think about the trades. Power company jobs start in the mid to high 30's per hour. Many operators cleared 160 last year with 600ish hours of overtime. Mechanics. electricians, and instrument techs are higher. Its rotating shifts but these guys only work 14 days a month. Salaried folks are right around 80-100 unless you jump into management.
nice to see people can now talk freely about their distrust of pharma and the vaccine.
I wish some the local district attorney would go after them for murder. This is not negligence or malpractice.
Now fix the vote setup to match Florida and it will stay red.
James promised to expose child trafficking in the govt. Please keep him safe, many before have died after investigating the trafficking of children. https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/project-veritas-still-not-reinstated/
The fact that FTX failed right at the elections makes me hopeful. Hopeful the good guys took away another scheme.
My thoughts too. Why kill the golden goose?
Been wondering about this as well. The timing of the crash is not good for the dems. FTX was a golden goose for them. It has terrible optics when even normies are asking why billions are being sent to Ukraine. I also think we would have seen more pimping of the CBDC if it was the bad guys causing the crash.
Have to agree.
Where is the best place to compare exit polls with actual results?
Best of luck to you, your wife and your hopefully large future family.
In the Denver area the is a Church called Brave Church. They stream on you tube twice a week. I have only seen a few easter/christmas sermons online and they seem decent. What intrigued me at the time is they refused any mask mandates and did not cater to the any woke groups. May be worth a look. Your mileage may vary, but I am very interested in this topic.
Quite literally what was said to me. Kinda funny really. So yes, you make shit up to meet your agenda. It was asked to prove if drag queens with horns were reading to kids. I proved it. Now, go back to your crayons, the adults are talking here.
Seriously, do your own research its not hard. Since you continue to be a lazy troll, here you go https://www.wnd.com/2017/10/drag-queen-demon-reads-to-kids-at-michelle-obama-library/
You may have read a thousand books, but it that doesn't mean you learned. There was the girl raped in Loudoun county schools. A 5 sec search will show drag queens with demon horns reading to kids. Most people are here for a solid discussion, you clearly are not.
Could this be sued similar to West Virginia v EPA?

In my mind open primaries make it much easier to cheat. Why else would Colorado have gone that way?
I know folks want to brush this off, but you should take it seriously. We have shutdown over 50% of the 500 coal plants across the country. While some new gas 2x1 and simple cycle units have gone in, not nearly enough to cover demand.
Between electric vehicles and places like Denver regulating all new housing units must have electric heat, demand has shot up. Add into the fact that forecasters actually predicted flat electrical growth. This was true for a short while, but there are only so many LED light bulbs and energy efficient appliances you can use. Oh did I mention they are still shutting down coal fire units. One of our plants got told to shut off their units, but just mothball it, don't tear it down just yet.
Senior management have to walk a political line with the PUC and politicians within the state. If we have brown outs, its the company who takes the brunt of public anger, not the politicians.
Now in an effort to curb demand, peak rates have gone into effect. This will also have short term benefits, but not cover the sure increase in demand.
My company went condition orange over 30 times last year. We were able to cover the needs by transferring power from out of state. That's all fine and dandy, but the power needs are continuing to increase and the transmission lines are not enough to cover the difference in the future. I have been told we are 60 MW in the hole this year and over 1200 MW in the whole next year.
We are looking into some trailer sized simple cycles to try and cover the difference, but its not that simple to just hook up a bunch of trailers to gas if the pipelines aren't large enough. Than there is the emissions problem, they must be placed far enough away from major cities not to impact their air standards. This increases line losses.
Add into the works supply issues and warehouses that have been had critical parts trashed due to accounting and now simple short outages at a plant turn into weeks while waiting on critical parts. One of our plants was down recently for months due to lead times on parts.
TLDR: We are using more power than we are generating. Enjoy your new mandatory smart meters and rolling brown outs in the future.

Any ideas how to push back against your employer without getting fired?
Before you say quit, its not that easy for most people and doesn't affect change unless folks do it as a group.
Its not just a Jewish thing. Its also done quite a bit in Christianity.
Your point on offline due to breakdowns is important. Continued neglect ("managed decline" according to my VP) , will result in much more offline than need be. These facilities are quite literally falling apart around us. Its gotten much worse in my time here.
