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

havent lost power here in s.nh for 2 years

every single major storm i was expecting it and everyone at GLP in the northeast was expecting it and no powerouts. even 16 inches heavy snow and 70mph winds


but i guess summer is different and blackouts for different reasons

Making plans is difficult when you live in a police state.

Everything is illegal.

You are not allowed to go outside. You don't know if you can buy a house because you don't know if the government will close your business.

You are not allowed to travel or escape.

The state can indefinitely detain you without trial, grope you, kill you, torture you, or destroy or steal your property at any time. You are not allowed to have free speech, the government wiretaps you, you cannot go to church, and you cannot own a gun.

Americans are now just slaves like North Koreans are.

Maybe with the fall of the crypto, there will be less mining. Seems like keeping 5 bazillion computers cool might be a strain on the grid

In 2018, $500 million dollar Chinese owned crypto mining farm being built in TX. There’s many more than 1 of these. [link to learncrypto.io (secure)]

Have you seen these facilities? Trying to keep THAT many computers cool in TX?! Massive amount of power.

Wow.

Americans say that Bitcoin is the only possible reason there are blackouts, but maybe banning coal and oil and relying on unsteady wind and solar energy has led to power grid failures.

One cryptocurrency miner in Rockdale, Texas uses at least 400 megawatts of energy. For context, that’s enough to power a large city.

That’s one mining operation.

Certainly wouldn’t say only, but also would say that that is a strain. And it’s owned by a Chinese company. How does that help the US economy?

And to blame heat & extreme weather, when you have a strain like that, will just get the fire lit for more global warming initiatives that further hinder our energy issues. Like banning coal.

Americans say that there will be starvation because there is no more land, but maybe there will be starvation due to government lockdowns and regulations.

Don't be a slave.

You are not a tough freedom loving anarchist if the government says buy insurance, wear a mask, get a vaccine, and don't criticize the state and you obey.

Go on strike.

Stop paying taxes.

Work off the books.

Barter.

Part of the reason that the Soviet Union collapsed was because everyone just gave up.

How can you obey the law when everything is illegal?

But the demonrats said if you like your electricity you could keep your electricity.

The PETRODOLLAR is obviously dead.

The great reset is a return to the feudalism of the Middle Ages. If you fall from favor with your lord (human ruler) then your time will be short.

Tyranny is not when a killer murders you. Tyranny is when the Gestapo murder you.

Tyranny is not when a store kicks you out. Tyranny is when the government says that you cannot go to the store.

Tyranny is not when Google records your web searches. Tyranny is when the NSA wiretaps you phone.

Tyranny is not when you get paid $1 per hour. Tyranny is when the government says that you must be paid $1 an hour.

Tyranny is not when cars are expensive. Tyranny is when government regulations make cars expensive.

Yet the greenies think there is enough: 1) Electrical power being generated, and 2) There is a national transmission grid that is adequate - to convert gasoline and diesel vehicles to EV.

Let's have the actual science and math based debate instead of the emotional "we're all gonna die", sky is falling howler monkey demonstration. Truth is the greatest enemy of emotion and abstract foundations for debate.

What will supporters of the police state say when their beloved police come to arrest them for racist hate speech, confiscate their guns, and force them to board trains headed to the concentration camps?
