Planned and unplanned electricity blackouts continue to affect millions of people and slam basic economic activity across the central North American continent, directly due to the years of implementation of the green energy policy of suppression of high-technology generation, and installation of so-called alternative wind and solar, low-tech swindles.
This has put the issue front and center, that the green insanity must stop. For example, the Kansas Senate Utilities Committee Chairman Sen. Mike Thompson (R-Shawnee) said on Facebook this week, “Wind turbines are frozen up. Solar is useless. This is why the expansion of renewables is dangerous for us going forward. We are putting too much reliance on sources that cannot meet our needs, especially in times like this.” He also said that nuclear energy “should be in the mix.” In opposition, greenized lawmakers are going from mad to madder. They are using the disaster to say there must be more and more coordinated low-tech energy, e.g.,. Kansas state Rep. Drandon Woodard (D-Lenexa) tweeted during this week’s emergency, “Long term: we MUST address an energy plan for the State of Kansas to encourage power storage, microgrids, and a move to renewable energy sources….”
In Texas, the former energy state, which is now ground zero for energy disaster, 26 people have died in the storm and lack of electricity. A new storm system is now on the move from this region, across the central states, on the way to the Northeast. As of Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 16, some 3 million people in Texas were still without power, and millions more in the 14 state-area in which energy is coordinated through the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) were enduring scheduled and unplanned power outages, due to the inadequacies of the system.
