President Biden just pledged to shut down 60% of America’s electric power (MSN)

"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."

Our grid can't support the cars they have right now. It will only get worse. I bet Biden's power isn't in the 60%

And that’s the idea. Xi has decreed it. And Joe is an old school pol: once bought, he stays bought.

The complete idiocy of the rush to shut down electric generation plants with the demand that people buy electric vehicles is why I will never comply with “cut back on power usage to prevent rolling blackouts.”

Nope. People need to see what idiocy in leadership gets you.

First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States.

New being the key word

No one is rushing to build coal plants right now anyway so this has essentially 0 impact.

That's the most sensible answer and I don't even care if it has to be subsidized.

But China and India are firing up new coal plants on a weekly basis.

Wonder why they aren’t part of this “climate agenda”?

While simultaneously shutting down natural gas and fuel oil.

I did not think he could payback student loans but he did. I think you underestimate how evil and vile he and his handlers are.

It will not happen. His usurping, illegal regime will be out of power shortly.

He did not. His order was rendered unconstitutional by the courts. No student had their loan forgiven.
He sold his supporters a bill of goods.

He isn't going to shut down 60 percent of the grid. Is he dumb enough to want to? Sure I'll buy that. But he can't do that unilaterally. That would make us a 3rd world country immediately.

Yet, he’ll still probably get “90 million votes”, breaking the record of 80 million.

He knows the majority of his voters can't do math.

This policy is two pronged. It caters to the global warming nuts and to the morons who can't do math.
