Kerry, exeunt stage right....

This is a case of “the road to hell...”. Except that the rest of that saying is “... is paved with good intentions”, and I’m not sure that the intentions are good. As opposed to being the reduction of Homo Sapiens, by the folks on the Green side who see us as being a “virus” on the earth. 

I’m not. I’m a big fan of Homo Sapiens. We are the smartest thing in the universe that we know. We may well be the way that the Cosmos comes to know itself. To be self-aware. 

Shutting down coal and natural gas when there’s no stable base supply is going to be a major disaster for America. For no net gain on the reducing global temperature side of the equation. None. Especially while the biggest elephant in the room remains China, and China says it’s not going to allow the global climate alarmist lobby to stop its development. Albeit that it has the world’s largest growth in renewables. 

/Snip:

Eliminating methane is a de facto ban on natural gas power plants.

Here is the most sinister part of this story that no one in the Biden administration is telling you: Eradicating coal and natural gas plants will ravage America’s electric power capacity.

These regulations will cause rolling blackouts and brownouts across the country, much like we’ve already seen in California — America’s forerunner of radical anti-fossil fuel policies. 

The lights will go out intermittently, and home heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer will have to be turned off or rationed. 

Without gas and coal plants, hospitals, schools, the internet, construction projects and factories will be routinely shut down when unreliable alternative energy sources like wind and solar power aren’t delivering enough juice.

Upward of 60% of America’s electric power generation will go away — and soon. 

Coal still provides roughly 20% of our electric power; natural gas supplies around 40%.

What will make up for this lost power, especially given that our demands on the power grid are only going to multiply over the coming years as the greens want the entire network of cars, trucks and vans to be powered by charging up on the electric grid?

The Biden administration, in other words, wants to nearly double the demands on the electric grid network at the same time it wants to shut down more than half of the nation’s power generation — and the most reliable sources at that.

Something must give. Read on....
