The fact remains that you are upset over a company asking end users to limit usage to keep the system safe.
You should Google curtailment and recognize that all utilities have a plan in place for it.
If you are upset that tva does not have standby capacity for these record demand scenarios, you don't seem to understand economics.
Quick question though: did you lose power? If you did, blame your LPC because TVA met the demand over the past week.

You don't ask people to turn down the heat, and then push EVs that use as much electricity in 100 miles as does the average American household in a day. Especially when you are killing off large parts of your production for environmental (read that political) reasons.

Had they shut down the grid, that would have been different.
Lost power for 9 days during the Day of the Storms, April 27, 2011.

It's amazing how people who know so little about something speak with such authority.

Here are FACTS that we know to be true.
1. The average electric vehicle requires 30 kilowatt-hours to travel 100 miles — the same amount of electricity an average American home uses each day to run appliances, computers, lights and heating and air conditioning.
2. TVA asked users to conserve power.
3. TVA has no less than three web pages pushing EVs.
TVA on the EV bandwagon
TVA's Fast Charge Network
TVA SMART Stations
Once again: The average electric vehicle requires 30 kilowatt-hours to travel 100 miles — the same amount of electricity an average American home uses each day to run appliances, computers, lights and heating and air conditioning.
If you can prove that wrong, do it.

How much power is needed to drive 0 miles?
There's your disconnect.

Of course they won't. People are stupid, regardless of what they're driving. But, you're still talking out of your arse with garbage data.

And people line up 50 cars deep filling every container they have with gas whenever a hurricane rolls through, what's your point?

Looks like that struck a nerve. It’d be funny if not so pathetic. But not quite as pathetic as your ramblings trying to equate promoted home energy conservation during an unusual cold spell to EV use. As others here point out as well, you have zero clue of what you’re talking about. Just like your president obviously.

Bingo. You stated it perfectly.

You are talking large scale natural disaster where infrastructure can be completely destroyed to a snow storm where powerlines might be down a day or two. Or just severe cold where people turn up the thermostat a little.
When is the last time snow took out refineries like Katrina did?

LOL. Now it’s post count? I would say you could do better, but you have clearly demonstrated in replies that you can’t. Carry on. What’s next…you want to have a spelling contest or compare shoe sizes? I think I’ve just entered the rent free zone of your head, and it’s empty in here. Carry on Darth. Your responses are entertaining and you have no substance, no point, just mindless ramblings of something you “think” you know about. Or when someone counterpoints you, you throw a tantrum. Typical Lib.

Not really, both are about energy usage during unusual events. Just pointing out that dumb people with EVs are the same as dumb people with ICEs

They’ll have excess capacity after they drastically reduce the population as planned.
