What a bunch of bull crap.

So what better way to not burn fossil fuels than to shut down the grid. Hard times are coming.

Good thing that wind storm blew all those trees down so we'll be able to burn them to stay warm next winter and ... oh .... forgot about the burn ban! Global Warming, etc. ... can't do that.
Maybe we can figure out a way to capture cow farts and burn them to stay warm. Win/win!! 🙄
I can't believe those people could report that TOTAL BS without breaking out in fits of laughter. 🤪
Here we sit with more energy underneath our feet than we can use in at least 100,000 years and "our" government wants to keep us from using it. It's like sitting at a banquet table filled with food and letting yourself starve to death. We deserve it if we all end up in caves.

Went out and fired up my generator this morning just to let it run a little bit.
I think the right wing angle on this story is BS, but I do think our power grid is outdated and vulnerable. States like California are already a mess and rolling blackouts are the norm in some places during the summer. Most replacement parts for equipment and parts for transmission lines are made over seas and there’s a current backlog on parts. Whether it’s nature, aging infrastructure, or something someone’s does I think you’ve got your head in the sand if you don’t own a generator or have a plan for when the lights go out.

My libtard daughter in law says she's just going to lay down and die. Not much of a plan but, I guess it will work.
She's a college educated person. Who knows, maybe that's all the libtards plans. Print money and party till the lights go out.

My wife works for the power company that supplies the city. They shut down that power plant and then tore it down. They now order power over the open market. This is being played out over and over. What it does is reduce the capacity to produce that power ever again even if we need it. Taking that capacity away will bite us in a bad way at some point.

Do a google in load shedding in South Africa. They can’t produce enough power for the whole country so 3-4 times a day the power is out for a couple hours each time . Different areas are without power at different times. It sucked unless you had solar or a generator.

I think a lot of people have that attitude until shtf and then they’re the first ones running around like chickens with their heads cut off looking for someone or anyone to help. I was a history major and one thing I gleaned was that a lot of history is written in blood and tragedy and it’s not a matter of if it will repeat itself… it’s just a matter of when. If for instance the grid failed we’d be far from the first civilization that suffered a catastrophic infrastructure failure either through human or natural means. How, or even if you come out on the other side depends on how tough and prepared people are.
We’re currently living in the most peaceful and comfortable time in human history. The vast majority of people today have never known a situation like my grandparents who lived through the great depression and ww2. For some reason people today think we’re exceptional and bad things like the grid going down could never happen to them.
I hope nothing bad ever happens, but the lack of people even thinking about the what if scenarios is what concerns me the most

This is off topic but waterdog’s post reminded me of an assignment given us by my 11th grade English teacher in 1985-86 school year. We had to interview somebody who lived through the Great Depression either written or preferably taped, I taped my grandparents. All of the taped ones were played during class and they were very sobering even then as a punk kid. There are some really good YouTube videos on life during the Great Depression worth watching. Did anybody else have a classroom assignment like that?

I did for a senior history class. I interviewed my girlfriend's grandfather, born in 1910, lived through the great depression, served in the South Pacific in WWII, then came home and built a successful business before retiring quite well off. Very cool looking back on it years later.

Never had an assignment but heard a lot about depression and a lot about growing up in coal camps and Matewan how they raised rabbits and chickens to eat , sad tough times back then I have many pictures of open floors in their homes

Switzerland still spends a large portion of their budget on underground shelters for it's population. We used to have that but now the only ones maintained are for the government.
