AMAC Exclusive – By Thomas M. Fortescue
For many years, Californians have grown accustomed to regular and increasingly frantic annual warnings that summertime could bring power disruptions. But this is no longer just a California problem. Perhaps for the first time in our history, similar warnings are being issued across the United States. The richest, most powerful nation on earth (we are told) will no longer be able to guarantee that it can get through the summer without rolling blackouts. This used to be something Americans would be warned about experiencing in other countries. Now that country is their own.
For California politicians, the usual scapegoats for blackouts are high winds (i.e., nature), record-breaking fires (i.e., not the fault of lawmakers in Sacramento), and “climate change” (i.e., it’s your fault the lights went out). Unsurprisingly, the cost of energy in California has been increasing faster than the general rate of inflation, disproportionately harming low income workers in the state.
But now, the blackout warnings that California residents have grown accustomed to have been exported to Texas, Indiana, and many other states, which are issuing dire warnings about the possibility of blackouts. California’s grid operator expects the usual shortages this summer, especially if the fire season is as bad as last year. Likewise, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which oversees power in much of the Midwest, declared it could be forced to take “emergency measures” this summer due to capacity shortfalls.
According to a study by the Wall Street Journal, large, sustained power outages have greatly increased since 2000. At the turn of the century, less than two dozen major power disruptions took place. By 2020, that number was greater than 180—an increase of nearly 800%. This didn’t even include the historic outages in Texas in 2021, or the latest wildfire-induced outages in California.
One of the primary causes of this escalating crisis is an aging grid that generations of politicians have failed to address. Much of the current power distribution system was built after World War II. Some lines were even built well before that. The American Society of Civil Engineers says that 70% of America’s power distribution system is well into the second half of its expected 50-year lifespan, and they predict that by 2029, the U.S. will face a $200 billion gap in funding to update the grid.
In short, what most have considered a “California problem” is quickly becoming an America problem.
What is driving this? A big part of the problem is Democrats’ rigid demands for a complete and immediate “transition” to so-called “renewable energy.” An increasing portion of America’s power generation comes from wind and solar farms, which, as the Wall Street Journal observes, “are among the cheapest forms of power generation [but] don’t produce electricity at all times and need large batteries to store their output for later use.”
What of the other cleaner alternatives to wind and solar, such as nuclear energy? In California, Governor Newsom has said he would consider not retiring a nuclear power plant in order to keep up with energy demand. But the fact that nuclear energy—which is completely clean—could be excluded from California’s “renewable” grid is absurd. Countries like France, for example, derive approximately 70% of their energy from nuclear power. Nuclear power plants produce zero emissions and are a reliable source of power that doesn’t depend on batteries. Thus, to exclude nuclear is to openly admit that Americans will be paying drastically and needlessly higher energy prices during this “transition.”
The same is true when it comes to cars. JP Morgan, for example, is now predicting that the national average for gasoline will exceed $6 per gallon not just in California (where the state average is already above $6) but in every state of the union.
Since gas prices began to rise (long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Biden’s favorite scapegoat), the Biden administration has exhibited an odd and truly tone-deaf obsession with pushing electric vehicles. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg infamously responded to concerns about high gras prices by suggesting Americans purchase electric vehicles—which, as of now, are far more expensive than the average gas-powered vehicle, and that’s assuming Americans can afford to buy a new car at all given the record-high inflation eating into their paychecks.
What’s President Biden’s answer to this catastrophe? Just recently, he said, “When it comes to gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger, and the world will be stronger, and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over…This is going to be a haul. This is going to take some time.”
In other words, this is intentional. This is no accident.
No one should be shocked by this. In one of their 2020 debates, President Trump asked Biden directly, “Would you close down the oil industry?” Biden responded, “I would transition from the oil industry, yes…It is a big statement…It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.”
To make matters worse, China dominates many aspects of the current “renewable energy” industry. For example, China produces 76% of the world’s lithium-ion batteries—the ones required to make wind and solar work—whereas the U.S. only produces 8%. China has built up a similar dominance in the solar industry, and also dominates in electric vehicle production.
So not only is the Biden administration tone-deaf and heartless with respect to the financial strains being put on Americans, but its approach all but guarantees that American adversaries like Communist China will continue to profit from the progressive effort to gut major portions of the American energy industry.
California has said it will use 100% “renewable energy” by 2045. If recent years are any indication, that means Golden State residents may soon be lighting their homes with candles and lamps for a good portion of the year. With Biden set on pursuing the same strategy for the country at large, the United States may, like California, be transformed from a state of limitless opportunities for people of all backgrounds, to one where the rich, the powerful, and the connected can impose their own virtue-signaling projects while the costs are borne by everyone else.

Blackouts are more about them getting ready to be shut down, so communication between people must be shut down, and that involves energy.
Unfortunately Biden’s brain is already blacked out so America can now do nothing about all the “problems” that we are plagued with. So much for being the most powerful nation on earth. The Marxist revolution is underway.
Too many rich folks running our country who can afford to pay higher prices for everything. They don’t “feel it”. And many have an agenda that doesn’t care about people.
IMHO: No fossil fuel power plant should be shut down until a higher capacity nuclear plant is built and ready to go on line and take over the load. We should have been doing this for the last 40 years.
The one world policies, put in process during the Obama rain of terror on the American people, showed he could talked a lot but had no vision. He had the opportunity to rebuild the electric grids within every state, but instead burned through money like a drunken savior on a three day pass.Biden too has the money to do the same, but like Obama, his vision is only good if there is a well lighted teleprompter and someone else is doing the input. He can’t think for himself and clearly has no plan.DEMS, wakeup, first fix the countries electrical grids. So they can support the hugh demand that comes with the advance of electric cars. Spend the money you planned to use to rebuild small business distroyed during the pandamic, which hasn’t worked. So, put that money into every state to help home owners, the people who are paying taxes, to convert their homes and business’s to solar. Then make it mandatory that the solar panels and batteries used in these conversions be 100% made in America. Not assembled in America, made in America, every nut, bolt and circuit. But, what is Biden’s plan, lets pay some student loan debt, yea we can do that! That is just to buy votes and it is simply a stupid idea. So, I guess it is fitting for Biden.It isn’t rocket science. New grids will allow fossil fuels to become the energy backup instead of the primary energy source. The grids have to be rebuilt to meet the demands of the transition. In other words, if we can support existing demand and have designed the new grids to meet twice that demand, then as the transition is implemented it will put demand back to the users systems, reducing centralized demand.Right now, if another million familes turn on air conditioners in many California, or for that matter most comumities in the US, their electrical grids would start failing. Now add another 1.5 to 3 million cars that need charging over night, how does that add up, it won’t work. The electrical grids have to be rebuilt first, then add the electrical cars and solar powered homes and businesses. Then the made in the USA solar power homes and businesses will reduce the burden on commerical power grids and fossil fuels can be replaced with renewable energy.Tell Branden to quit buying votes and do his real job, defending and protecting America, which he is failing there too!
from the world’s greatest authority on blacking out.
We already know Biden is totally and completely incompetent and this just seals the deal. You are talking two of the Most ANTI-AMERICAN pro socialism idiots working in cahoots with each other to take this country down. It is not a secret that NEWSOM and his fellow Democrats have totally destroyed the State of California, and Biden is to narrow sighted to see it. The very best form of electric power generation is Hydro Electric. The downfall, politicians and environmentalists are eagerly trying to have hydro dams shut down and removed in the name of helping the fish. This is at a time when the State of California is shutting off water to farmers because there aren’t enough water storage reservoirs to provide water for the residents of the state. Geo Thermal Plants are expensive to operate and not necessarily environmentally friendly. The only problem with Nuclear Power Plants has been due to their location in regards to Earthquake Faults. It has been known this is a problem since the 60’s when the Nuclear Plant outside of Eureka California was shut down due to its location near a fault line. But that didn’t stop the Utility Companies from building more along fault lines. Then San Onofre was closed due to its location. And the newest of the plants at Diablo Canyon that was touted to be the safest Nuclear Plant built at the time was prior to its commissioning was determined to be located on a fault line and they even considered not starting it up due to this issue.
You think Nuclear plants are the only ones creating Hazardous waste disposal issues?
Nuclear Plants-Radioactive waste
Fossil Fuel Plants-Hydrocarbons released into the atmosphere
Wind Generators-Toxic / Hazardous waste from decommissioned Blades-Hazardous to Livestock grazing nearby.
Solar Power-Toxic / Hazardous from Old solar panel removals. Waste produced by Battery Backup systems (lithium, lead acid, Gel) etc.
Electric Vehicles that Newsom and his cronies are touting as the fix-all cure-all for air pollution and reducing the states carbon foot print. Let’s see.
Electric cars have to be charged, where does the power come from to charge them? That is right the already overtaxed power grid that is experiencing brown and blackouts.
Electric Cars use Lithium Batteries. Hazardous waste is produced when replacing and recycling the old batteries.
So, I guess one could say Electric Cars are replacing one fossil fuel source for another. Both with their own unique set of Hazardous Waste Issues. Neither one as Environmentally Friendly as the
People in power might want you to believe.
Electric Vehicles are still largely unproven, and some are virtually non-existent or likely impossible to build. Vehicles like Long Haul Trucks that carry your goods to market. Or in Bidens latest plan, to convert the entire military to zero carbon foot prints. Imagine how big the Batteries would have to be to operate Destroyers, Cruisers, Amphibious Assault and Landing ships. Where and how would the batteries be charged, (probably from an orbiting power plant in the sky) Sounds silly but really? How about Military Aircraft, where will they be charged? (Possibly some sort of grid in the sky they fly through?) And then there are the Army and Marine corps vehicles, trucks, tanks etc. I am sure the enemy is going to provide Charging Stations for them or take portable charging stations that run off a Diesel Generator. Hmm now that is real common sense.
Try not to believe what the powers to be are trying to shove down your throat as a cure-all for the energy issues in the world today. Don’t be in a hurry to believe all the Educated Idiots in this world today that open their mouths before engaging their brains. And heaven forbid quit taking 14-year-old kids so damned seriously, she hasn’t lived long enough to have the kind of experience to make the claims she does.
Yes, I believe in Climate Change, I believe that Climate runs in cycles as time moves on. It may not always be a favorable change but I don’t believe it is caused by toxins in the air. If that were the case, we would have all been dead a long time ago. And speaking of a long time ago, wasn’t the ICE AGE, and the end of the Ice Age a classic case of CLIMATE CHANGE? And just who do you think caused that Climate Change? No Cars or Trucks on the road, no power plants.
I don’t blame CLIMATE CHANGE for all the forest fires in this country today. I believe that the wildfires today are caused by two things, Arsonists and Poor Forest Management. Think about that.
Our federal govt policy expressed by P. Buttegieg toward citizens is we should buy electric cars. Sounds like the modern way of saying let them eat cake. What an elitist POS.
Too many citizens, mostly the more liberal minded, don’t realize that electricity is directly tied to fossil fuels. The more it costs for fossil fuels, the more electricity is going to cost. Renewable energy sources are also very costly.
Everybody knows Biden’s BRAIN is subject to blackouts. When are they going to remove him from an office he illegally occupies? If you think crime is bad now wait until a blackout hits your area for a period of time.
i’m hopeful these two idiots will fall victim the all voters blacking THEM out!
California is a lesson in what NOT to do and not just with regard to energy. Name any issue (crime, taxes, etc.) and California policies STINK!
Biden and his cohorts will do rolling blackouts when or not they occur “naturally” because these people want to teach us a lesson because we are evil for doing well. Something the world should be reminded of as some have said; ” What part of Europe are you from, the part whose asses we saved twice or the part we beat twice”? And whose billions rebuild Europe and would have assisted Eastern Europe if Stalin wasn’t the worst SOB before MaoStalin and Mao killed many more than Hitler. They want to lower us to the standards of the rest of the world in the same fashion they want to even the educational field by eliminating advanced classes That should really help in keeping up with the parts of the world that would like to kick our butts. That’s one reason why the rest of the world pushes leftist governments in this country to “repeal” the second amendment.
If the objective is to have abundant, cheap renewable energy, the federal government would release to the public all the information that it stole from Tesla. Then innovators would have the information needed to begin to develop Tesla towers to suck electrical energy from the atmosphere. As a side benefit, violent storms would be reduced. But, since the federal government does not release this information, the objective is not abundant, cheap renewable energy. Tesla also developed an automobile engine that ran by sucking electricity from the atmosphere.
President Biden needs to start being Pro-Active & not Re-Active to problems. The USA should not turn into Clean Energy (Per Biden) until country has the materials & supplies in place to make this switch. And nuclear should be one of the big things to look into. These things take years and years and cannot be switched on/off without ruining this great country . And the WH & Senators need to stop & realize that $100,000 per year is not the average middle class wage & be realistic about this. Minimum wage is only about $30,000 per year and that is if employer gives them 40-hours per week. Wake up Washington & realize what your inflation is doing to these Americans.
QUESTION: What will the democrats do when their houses are affected by blackouts?
ANSWER: They will fly to their vacation homes.
Just THINK of all those electric cars going nowhere because they can’t be charged. California has already asked people to not charge their cars because their grid was inadequate.
Welcome to the CROOKED Presidentcy of Comrade President Jackass Joe “Lyin” Biden!
Obviously, this person does not know what he is talking about when he says nuclear energy is 100% clean. Tell the people at 3 mile Island or Chernobyl that and they will laugh in your face!!!!! Plus for the ones that have not had any issues, they are still creating a nuclear waste that is a big problem. That is probably why they have shut down nuclear plants too!
But the main statement is true. This is planned obsolescence of all hydrocarbon power plants. And the Democrats are behind this BS 100%.
There is a coal powered plant near me that was shut down in the last few years. And I have heard of many more that have been shut down. And there have not been any new plants built to replace them.
They talk about the grid getting old and needing replaced. Do not they get paid for that every month when I pay my bill? Or is this just another thing showing that the energy industry is owned by the government already. This is just another step to the full communist takeover.
The problem is we have dumba**es making the decisions on the energy grid that do not give a crap if we have enough power or not. They just see $$$ with the prices going up. They are managers, not engineers or scientists.
And then they tell us to buy electric cars. Where is all of the electricity coming from to charge these cars? This seems not like a ploy to save the environment, but a ploy to make us less mobile. I bet the military will not have any trouble getting fuel!
And this is all at the same time China
People, we need to open our eyes! The next election is critical. If Conservatives do not have huge gains in the House and Senate, we will soon be totally communist!
I guess the main dumba** is Joe B and his puppeteers!
This is not about anything but CONTROL!!!
The more I know about Jackbutt Joe and his Demonrat friends, the angrier I become. It sickens me to see our country under the duress these morons have created. And you can be sure, Demonrats and the “news” media have been complicit in trying to destroy us. The wealthy, like Gates, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. aren’t worried. They’ll have plenty of options available to them. The news media is lying all the time and just seems to be getting away with it. Professional athletes like Lebron, who probably don’t know their butts from a hole in the ground, continue to cater to the Chinese. And Hollywood, I don’t even want to go there because my blood pressure will go off the charts!
It’s all of us are going to pay the price for all their incompetence and ridiculous flawed ideology. I have experienced a 4 day blackout several years ago. Happened when it was 94 – 96* out. That’s hot for Cleveland. I have major progressive lung issues and that was not a pleasant experience. Worst part was taking care of my 90 year old Mom and trying to make sure she was eating and hydrated and cool enough to handle it. I was just sick with worry. These idiot Demonrats talk bs but never address the problems they create. What happens to the ill and the elderly should these kind of outages occur again? Demonrats don’t care. They’re too busy trying to keep power and control over the rest of us. This country is worth fighting for. These elites in politics, sports, media, and entertainment need to be kicked to the curb. I’ll put on my spiked shoes for that!
One thing about the “pretender in chief” is that he actually tells the American people what to expect. Such a shame America has become the “can’t do nation”. This embarrassment of a “leader” doesn’t know how to make anything happen except what the socialist/Marxists tell him will happen. One ironic thing about the rolling blackouts is that they will keep many of the new electric vehicles off the roads. That could reduce traffic and that’s a good thing for the rest of us fossil fuel burners. Let’s do everything to save everything; except the democrats dignity. It’s all almost laughable if it weren’t so tragic.
I keep repeating the statement mentioned in this article that those so-called ideal “renewable energy” sources will never meet the demands. Still, I get pushed back with the ‘popular premise” that our current utility companies are doing us wrong by their “overcharge increasing rates” which our government sets for us but uses the fake blame tactic to keep us from realizing what they are doing. I don’t accept rationing my usage to only 25% of my real needs. I already limit my usage to a bare minimum. Turning off my utility, during high-demand periods means I have no way to keep my food safe inside my refrigerator. Food supplies are already limited, which means I have to rely on both frozen food supplies and dry food supplies. I can deal with no lights but I need my appliances to run all the time, but when they do “brownouts/blackouts” in areas, they just turn off all power from a designated area so another area has power. Three guesses which areas have priority over another area. These same areas will never suffer power outages and have great faith in renewable energy sources. I suggest that they run entirely on the renewable energy sources they claim is so great and see the reality of their fallicity.
Don’t worry, CA and the rest of the blue States along with Joey will destroy the Red States. Although we have one thing correct (we are told) we are still great while Joey leads (from behind).
I can only hope the first blackouts occur at the White House and all of Delaware. Give him a taste of his own medicine. What will be put on the death certificates of people who fall down stairs during one of these blackouts, etc?, “deceased due to Biden’s failures”? DHS/CMS might want to start working on getting an appropriate ICD code now, as we know how slow this administration works.
Everything biden does causes pain to all Americans. Everything he tries to do to correct his last mistake will be his next mistake and so on. He has done nothing right or for the good of all of us, just keeps on screwing up. By the end of summer, he will be the most hated person in America (he’s almost there now) The day after election day, the remaining democrats will run him out of office and insert the “woman of color” If we all think he was bad, just wait until she takes his place.
God help us all.
The last nuclear power plant in California will shut down in 2025 when their license expires and there are no plans for license renewal. License renewal is a process that takes several years to prepare in order to obtain federal approval. This alone represents a loss of over 2250 megawatts of baseload clean energy the state has absolutely no way of replacing. The first unit closes in 2024 and you can bank on blackouts all over the state when that happens. Their only option at this point is to burn natural gas to power small generators, which is the most inefficient use of this fossil fuel by the way, particularly if you need that electricity to charge an electric car.
Impeach the hoodlum!
Doe Ray Me Fa Q Biden
Tratior Treasonous biden and every communist in the Peoples House including All so-called Democrats .. If blackouts occur, hope they are caught walking up stairs or down stairs trip, fall, flop around the floor like fish out of water, and die a slow agonizing death.. How Many Americans have you Murdered Today Biden ? Crime, Illegal Aliens, China Selling Fentanyl to Mexican Cartel, Illegal Aliens bringing billions of doses into the United States.. Biden and Company and his Pathetic Family Sold the United States to Communist China, along with Big Tech, and the NBA… Brain Washing Kindergarten Children , Tiny Tim Tony Fucia the Minister of Death by Wuhan.. and WE DO NOTHING !!!!
Sic Semper Tyrannis, my friends.
Prepare yourselves for the inevitable to come.
Until joeblow is six feet under, this will continue. Terrible comment, yes, but think about it…every tyrant in written history continued their reign of terror until death brought it to closure.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Democrats demanded $15 an hour in order for those in need to support themselves and their families. I guess that liberal idea is gone and forgotten. Now we are being intimidated by outrageous energy costs to switch from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives and focusing on electric cars. Earlier this week President Biden stated it will be a difficult transition. The national grid isn’t prepared for the change, and neither is the American public. Can President Biden or Governor Newsom explain how the folks are struggling with $15 or less minimum wage are going to survive?
VOTE IN NOVEMBER, VOTE IN NOVEMBER, VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!!!!
RED=REMOVE EVERY DEMOCRAT
More failed policies hurting Citizens brought to you by the marxist democrats, the destruction of America party!
THROW THEM ALL OUT
Ruining Michigan, New York, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota…..everywhere they cheated their way into office!
If this happens I don’t doubt there WILL be a revolution! The citizens of the USA will NOT sit idly by in the dark!!! The current federal government may think they have their thumbs on us all but if this happens they will find out differently.
“Communist China will continue to profit from the progressive effort to gut major portions of the American energy industry.”
China Owns Joe Biden & his Family and soon will own America. Stop China from buying America’s Politicians and farmlands.
Then all of us should demand the government reimburse us for any food spoiled in our refrigerators. Also, persons with asthma have difficulty when weather is hot and humid.
We MUST vote those demoncrats and others liberals out of office. They are killing this Country.
MILLIONS of FAMILIES WILL DO WITHOUT CHRISTMAS FOR THEIR CHILDREN THIS YEAR THANKS TO DICTATOR Beijing biden NOT DRILLING FOR OIL and OPENING KEYSTONE PIPELINE. NOT TO MENTION MINING FOR COAL TO KEEP NATURAL GAS AT LOWER PRICE OR LOWER LIKE IT WAS UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT AND FAMILIES COULD AFFORD VACATIONS and CHRISTMAS.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
And you can bet the bank that what the Biden administration has been and is doing was all planned.
It is the culmination of a more than 100 year Fabian Society/Progressive/ New World Order agenda to not just “fundamentally transform America”, but to do so to the entire world. We are on the brink of being RULED by an elitist group of people under a global oligarchy. Climate change is the current cornerstone for implementing total control over human activity. The panicdemic was the trigger to see if people would surrender their freedom and summit to unlawful, total control. Every crisis we have and are witnessing were planned and they will only get bigger and lead into unlawful controls.
Yes, the 2020 election was a fraud as was the 2016 election. The difference was they NWO fraudsters misjudged how many votes they needed to pull off the steal and they lost to Donald Trump. In 2020, they pulled out all of the stops and didn’t care if they were exposed, they were going to win at any cost. Several State’s audits have shown the fraud and have the evidence, but have also failed to decertify their elections, enough to change the 2020 election outcome. You have to ask “why not?”
How can the most powerful man on earth be so unwise and stupid?
Generations of politicians?? These same politicians have been in power for generations, SAME PEOPLE!!
If a sufficient amount of power could be generated by wind and solar, the distribution lines still could not handle it.
Hey, California…enjoy all those electric vehicles! They should be perfect as a converted horse trough.
I will not down play our situation but why will we have shortages of what the GREEN REVOLUTION OR GREEN NEW DEAL” says is the “SOLUTION TO THE ISSUES??” This whole situation is a circular firing squad or some alleged ritual performed over a cupcake by some male participants.Because of certain situations we are running out of water and power in certain areas. So what is the brain/drain trust of this destructive incompetent administration doing??? New knee pads to beg the powers that be so that they can carry on with their malignant way of thinking? How are you sheep doing that “voted ” for this ship of fools? Ain’t they wonderful?? How about INFLATION? WORKING FOR YOU??
There are at least 7 primary characteristics of becoming a Socialist State. These characteristics became apparent during the Clinton administration and became clearer during the Obama-Biden administration. Now we have President Biden continuing the democratic agenda to destroy America as we have known it. All 7 characteristics are driven by the emotion of FEAR! The 7 characteristics referenced are Healthcare, now controlled by the government; Poverty increasing by the day; National Debt, increased to an unsustainable level; Gun Control the democrats continue to work on; Educational system is a disaster and we continue to have Class Warfare (both racially driven and economically driven). If our electrical power grids can’t handle the necessary power now how well will they handle multi-millions of cars being plugged in at any one time? Given the expenditures in this country by the democrats (inclusive of all the bs surrounding the Russian Hoax created by Hillary Clinton and the gang) why not just send every adult American family a coupon for a free electric SUV??? Our leaders are idiots, college-educated idiots no less, possessing ZERO common sense and wisdom! America needs to wake up! The only ZERO this country needs is the zero approval rating for this administration and the democratic party at large!
Cater Administration in the Michiana area had months where they shutdown businesses early, forced rationing of electricity and fuel.
This stupidity is even worse today.
Our propane prepay for this coming winter is up $1.00 per gallon. Was $1.559 last year. $2.559 this year.
I needed to get 14.5 gallons of diesel for the tractor yesterday. $77.02!!
This is STUPID
wind power kills golden eagles solar only works if you have batteries. 90% of all electricity comes from oil as well as thousands of other products if you get rid of oil its back to the stone age wake up america the deep state has no right to destroy our country
Theres a sickening reason why the green zealots reject nuc power and its not fear of meltdowns. Thats only the cover story. The real reason is that nuc power would work and the country could then continue more or less on its present path. These people see humanity as a sort of infection on the earth that only they are wise enough to perceive. The real goal is population control and ultimately population reduction. This will happen if they achieve their dream of banning petroleum. Folks, they have a vision and its so ugly it’s difficult to accept, but its real and driving their actions.
