All rolling blackouts need to be politically correct and agenda driven 👁️👃👁️👁️🦻👁️

All rolling blackouts need to include the White House, and the homes of every Congressperson and Senator.

Also all hollywood woke who are thrilled at high gas prices and attempting to force those who have to choose between work, food, and rent to buy an EV, when they can't due to woke policies that are causing massive inflation and blackouts.

Won't matter 'cause they all have diesel fuel generators !!!!! 🤓

biden says we will all be driving electric cars by 2030. Surely something as simple as a temperature spike cant cause a black out. I mean, what would happen if everyone in the country was charging an electric car every night? I am sure our grid can handle that much power. Even though it never has before. And I am sure that every house that is wired for 100 amp service will be just fine with 75 amps going just to charge the car. And I am sure that families with more than one driver will be just fine too. And multi-family dwellings, like apartment buildings with hundreds of apartments and no garages or places to plug in a car? I am sure they will be just fine too.

I mean, really. biden wouldn't set us on this path without having thought all this stuff through, right?

Not to worry. They'll just use fossil fuel generators to power the car battery chargers 🚬

I wonder....

For years, we have talked about how bad our grid is.

Is this due to high temps? Or the fact that people are going "green"? In reality, we have not increased our generating stations, our infrastructure is old, and....wait for it.....the majority of electricity is generated by fossil fuels. And the supply is going down and the price up, just like gas-also from fossil fuel.

Does anybody else see this, or am I just a nutty CT?

Wait till the tar on the roofs starts melting !! 😁

There will be no rolling black outs, no power issues. Remember, Biden signed the infrastructure bill for a trillion dollars.

We're all good!

The government spent money!

Why not just put the generator on a trailer and skip the batteries? Or skip the generator and somehow power the wheels with the engine from the generator. Oh, wait..... They have those.

What else can we call the blackouts without causing any minority group to get pissed?

I dont know. I am not a biologist.

I like Rolling FJBs quite a bit myself, let's coin that one

I have a generator too, but mine's natural gas, won't hurt me.

I expect the neighborhood to be knocking at my door begging me to let them plug their cars in. How much should I charge, I think the average cost of a fill up, soon to be $100? So $100 for a 45 minute charge? Of course, that is only if I don't need to run my A/C or heat.

I saw this coming last year and prepared. I knew Biden would be a disaster and make life he-double-toothpicks for the nation, as his first year so very quickly degenerated I could see awful times coming.

My big question on the electric cars, whats going to happen when we run out of the rare earth metals that we need to make them.

They are a much more finite commodity than oil, depending on where you look we have between 50-50 years before its all gone. (the amounts we are aware of) which works out to something like 3 billion electric car batteries, (if we ignore everything else those metals get used in).

Without a sudden and rapid advance in tech folks will be paying on electric vehicles they cant use because there are no new batteries.

30 million illegal aliens wouldn't drive up demand would it?
It sure isn't industry or small business since they are doing less than ever.
Maybe DC needs to try a blackout and see how things go for them.
When you have the power plants and fuel but federal regulation prevents their use you have government out of control, or rather too much in control.

The supply is going down by design. They want to force us onto "green" alternatives that are substandard. Texas ended up in blackouts during that extreme cold event because their windmills weren't enough to compensate and their natural gas froze on them.

Then they are regulating out of existence generating capacity that would work, so there is no backup and generating capacity is being eliminated.

It's not it's running out. It's that we're not allowing ourselves to use it.

I'm sure DC would be a special case because ... government. They would never get an actual government shutdown.

It's not jut the government being stringent on nuclear power - ever since the Three Mile Island incident there has been little interest in the private sector to open nuclear power plants. Of course the regulations don't help, but at the same time we don't need another Chernobyl.

I agree with Nyiah. Lets go with Rolling FJB

And the idiot in command wants everyone in electric cars by 2035.....our powergrid cant sustain that
