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.
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.
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 don't understand how life on Earth could have survived the intense heat when Vikings were growing barley and raising sheep in Greenland (the Earth was one degree warmer than today), and Romans were growing grapes and citrus in England (Earth was two degrees warmer), and Egypt was building pyramids (Earth was three degrees warmer). I don't understand how coral survived a sea level rise of 400 feet since the end of the Ice Age, but won't survive a rise of 2 millimeters next year. I don't understand how Bangladesh can be inundated by sea level rising 2 millimeters per year while the Ganges delta is silting up at 4 millimeters per year.
Ken: Yes you are spot on. Due to the already long article, I left several things on the cutting room floor. Beyond what you said, the #1 one "justification" for wind and solar is bogus. Even if citizens believe that we are in a clilmate emergency, there has been no Scientific study that has ever concluded that wind or solar make a consequential difference. For example, see this Report <https://wiseenergy.org/Energy/Wind_Other/Wind_&_AGW_Full.pdf>.
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?
IMO the CBDC is another of several actions to undermine us. A Grid collapse will be much more consequential than CBDC. What are they doing to shore up the Grid? Very little meaningful in regards to the case I am making here.
Look up Global Warming Policy Foundation. Their newsletter Net Zero Samizdat has been chronicling the green energy news from W. Europe for years. The Green energy movement in W. Europe is falling apart as we speak. The insanely costly green energy would be mandates are meeting the road and the commoners in the electorate are finally waking up and voting out the greens.
Matt: There is no practical Grid "transformation" that can adequately deal with inherent unreliables. Tons of money will be asked for by the alarmists, but it's simply another part of their Plan to bankrupt us. And why aren't wind and solar developers paying for the Grid modifications that their products necessitate? Oh, that would make sense....

Here's an AI article for you: https://tomshardware.com/news/google-bots-tout-slavery-genocide
TT: TY fopr that good reference — although it should be posted after one of my AI commentaries, like <https://criticallythinking.substack.com/p/critically-thinking-about-artificial-ac7>.
That is where I thought I was posting it. Somehow I ended up in the wrong article...
Van,
You are preaching to choir here. Yours is a great article.

WELCOME TO THE 1800S WITH KILLERS RUNNING LOOSE, NO FOOD, NO CARS, OR MEDICINE. PRISONS ARE NOW ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED WITH NO BACKUP.
