For a good dramatized version of what will happen if/when the Grid collapses...by our own doing or by other actors, read at least the first book of a series by William R. Forstchen - "One Second After".

The grid(s) in the west will not be getting much, if any, juice from the Cresent Dunes CSP project for the rest of the year. What happened with Crescent Dunes? (solarpaces.org)

I wonder who picks up the costs associated with the substation and transmission lines put in place assuming the plant would be viable.

Van,

You are preaching to choir here. Yours is a great article.

People who fancy themselves as intellectual elites and therefore ought to run the world remind me of the criminals who are surprised to have been caught because they're smarter than the smartest cop who ever lived. Maybe they are. But are they smarter than the collective intelligence of 100 cops?

Are the would-be dictators (almost all Democrats or Communists who have burrowed into the Democrat party) smarter than the collected intelligence and wisdom of the American population? They're afraid to test the proposition in fair elections.

John,

Great article /wakeup call. One thing basic missing is the fact there is climate change but no climate crisis. The climate has been changing over billions of years and will continue to follow its own path no matter how many soccer moms are squeezing their broods into Teslas rather than hauling them around in Suburbans. Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are demonstrably good for plant life (read dinner tonight). Many greenhouse operators pipe in increased levels of CO2 into their buildings to increase production.

All the alarmists have to stand on are computer models fed corrupted data so the models will project out climate catastrophes. Al Gore 25 years ago promised all sorts of climate disasters if we did not "do something"' to reduce the CO2 released by the burning of fossil fuels. Look around you. Not one of those promised dastardly events has remotely come to pass. Despite a slow, steady increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere the polar bear population has doubled and last I looked the polar ice caps are still very much in place. Al Gore still travels around by private jet and may still have at least one mansion on the California seacoast. Obama also seems not worried about sea levels rising as he continues to reside in a seaside mansion at Martha's Vineyard. Look around you. There is nothing to fear or do about climate change.

I did make a call/e mail to a Congressman yesterday. I have written one (LAST) letter, as yet unpublished, to our local paper. Lastly, but most important, I just finished Morning Prayer...by our nonchalance, we may suffer really dire and irreversable consequences. eddie

If the grid goes down, it will ruin their plans for a Central Bank Digital Currency....so I am kinda thinking they might be well aware of this...and do we know what they are doing to shore up the grid?
