What we know. TVA ordered rolling blackouts for the first time in 90 years amid freezing temps

If a product relies on scarcity to determine capital investment in supply that profitably balances with demand, every once in a while that product will be scarce.
 
Don't worry about it. We're getting to the point of "Too late now!" anyway.

It’s never going to be declared “too late” to promote leftist and globalist income/wealth redistribution schemes as the ‘best‘ solution to (all?) problems.

Standing up to protect Saudi wealth from the clutches of Big Solar is admirable.

This is another example of that rightist ploy of making up shit and bring it here to show us how mad their made-up shit makes them.
 
Cold weather in the US is proof of man-made global warming. Warm weather in Europe is proof of man-made global warming.

But remember, climate and weather are different, so weather can never disprove man-made global warming.
 
This confuses the global warming myth in that I don’t know if because of GW I need a heavy coat or shorts and sunscreen?
The same concept that had you so confused about vaccines and masks during COVID have you questioning GW. Why are Trumpers so prone to conspiracy crap????

Follow the science.

It's Climate Change, not 'weather change'

The US is the largest ‘fossil fuel’ producer. Much of the transition to ‘solar’ and ‘wind’ energy effort is (currently) dependent on enriching China.

Hmm… is that because you suggest that it’s not “too late” now, but soon (never defined, of course) it will be?

I was being glib.

The wealth redistribution conspiracy theory is just comical to me.

No, it's because I suggest that the left saying that income redistribution is the answer to all problems is made-up shit.

Enriching multinational corporations operating in China.

Sure it is - nobody popular on the left would ever support that idea. ;)

Sanders' plan is a direct attempt to redistribute the wealth of “millionaires and billionaires” he often opines about from the campaign trail. University of California, Berkeley economists Gabriel Zucman and Emanuel Saez analyzed the plan for the campaign and determined that it would “fully eliminate the gap between wealth growth for billionaires and wealth growth for the middle class.”


 
They have to worry about overconsumption maybe? I know this is not a perfect analogy by any stretch, but sort of in the same vein of consumption being maxed out during times of weather extremes, right now our 1950s era apartment complex's central heating is off and has been since around 8 pm last night -- for likely the same reason.
I suspect most TVA power plants aren’t weatherized for these temperatures.

It is nothing new. We are being asked to conserve during the summer months as well.

They’ve already renamed this climate change so they can use any change in weather as justification for imposing totalitarian rule

Oh, are we gonna play that game? Is it my turn to bring up something some individual rightist said, maybe some example of vile racism, and say it shows how racist the right is?
Surely you know how this is.

That is in fact the left wing solution to nearly everything.

Nearly all leftist positions are inherently based in using income redistribution to impose an egalitarian society. What is progressive taxation to pay for welfare other than income redistribution?
 
That is functionally enriching China
Right but because the corporations have made it that way.
The link in the post I replied to says Canada produces 5.5 million barrels of oil a day but Canada doesn't produce a drop. Oil companies operating in Canada produce 5.5 million barrels a day.

Bullshit. Plain and simple.
