Millions of Americans in New England would face an elevated risk of heat and power shortfalls during the winter if a potential plan to shutter a major natural gas terminal proceeds, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) warned this week. x.com/ClimateDepot/status/1722275529859178784?s=20
There is now a warning for this winter.
Watchdog Has Grim Winter Warning: There May Be Blackouts
Now, NERC is saying that "There is not enough natural gas pipeline and infrastructure to serve all the gas generation in certain big areas like PJM, MISO, New York, and New England," according to the agency's director for reliability assessment and performance analysis.
The reason there are not enough gas pipelines is because opposition to new gas pipeline projects is so severe that getting a gas pipeline built has become an occurrence similar to a miracle.
There was a bumper sticker when I worked in Alaska.
LET THE BASTARDS FREEZE IN THE DARK
The problem is the liberal sheep will believe any lie at this point. I saw an article that blamed the winter blackouts in Texas two years ago on the fossil fuel industry (no joke). So if there isn't enough natural gas to heat NYC? Someone will blame it on the fact that they're energy isn't "Green" ENOUGH. And the sheeple will believe it. |

They can believe what they want, and blame it on who they will, but it will not change the facts on the ground. When the heat goes off and the lights go out... and the electric food trucks fail to arrive ... and the energy-powered components of their engineered world refuse to function ... even the dimmest star in the Woke World will finally understand. And the cycle will end. |

I enjoy lithium batteries in my Milwaukee tools.
Solar panels? I have them on my camper. Will never buy again.

Said before but worth repeating: this is the Achilles' Heel of almost every "renewable". To make them work you need an energy storage system. Unless you've got a handy double-basin hydro-electric dam that is unlikely to be economical. |

Unless you've got a handy double-basin hydro-electric dam that is unlikely to be economical. Yes, this seems to be it I think. Batteries get old, in more ways than one. We have a "Pumpback" reservoir in the ozark hills about 60 miles from Tulsa. I don't know how well the math works on it but they pump water into it at night and draw it down during peak demand hours when everyone runs their ACs. The lake itself is deep, over 200 ft, and very clear at times. The water level moves up or down seems like about 12 feet. It can be a terrific fishing hole for record sized smallmouth bass. It is not an energy producer, unless they get more from running their motors one direction pushing water uphill than the other, but a battery to accommodate peak demand. grandlakeliving.com/lake-life/do-you-know-about-w-r-holway-reservoir/ |

Inefficient, but effective.

Pumped storage is very good and can generate of peak maybe 70% of the energy consumed.
Best battery so far for grid. The issues are how many more candidates out there and distance to market.
Great and appropriate name Gridley

US Natural Gas present and future would appear bright ... if we can keep the Morons and Dogma Mothers away from the table. No return to burning forests for heat ... unless our peak technology returns to men with axes on their shoulders.

Something for the environmentalists to focus on. This article claims that over 2% of the US electricity generation goes to bitcoin.
