Summer approaches -- Blackouts on the Way

The result of the left's fantasy move to "clean energy."  The Democrats' poor preparations are going to cost us all.  A lot

While some major cities are already seeing their lights go off due to electricity use overload, grid operators and energy advocates gave a warning to states closing their coal-fired power plants even quicker than they can build new ones.

“Any plans to remove nuclear plants or coal power plants or natural gas plants that are slated to be closed, that has to be completely suspended,” Power the Future executive director Daniel Turner told FOX Business’ Jeff Flock Tuesday.

Eighty coal-fired power plants are slated to close across 14 states in the next six years, Flock mentioned in his report, which poses a threat as some blackouts have already begun and coal and nuclear power still source 41% of the country’s electricity, according to the Energy Information Administration (Fox Business).

Unprepared – again. The state will likely face an energy shortfall equal to what’s needed to power 1.3M homes. CA families & our most vulnerable citizens who rely on medical devices don’t deserve another summer living in fear of rolling blackouts (Scott Wilk - Twitter).
