Our future looks bright. In a world where words mean the opposite of what they used to mean.

“Ben Franklin,” they said, “is often heralded as the man who discovered the power of electricity. Joe Biden wants to be the president who abolished it.”

Ben Franklin did not discover electricity, though is experiments are worthy of honor.

Unfortunately, they're right about Brandon. He may not want to truly abolish electricity, but he intends to make it so expensive and so scarce that it'll hardly be used by those of us not part of the government's inner circle.

I was raised in Turkey Creek with no indoor plumbing or running water. The house I lived in until I was 6 had no electricity or running water. Kerosene lamps were used for light. Mama cooked on a kerosene stove. Washed clothes in a cast iron wash pot with a fire built under it. We had an ice box. Got our water from a picture pump in the yard. Bathed in a number 2 wash tub in water heated on the stove. Mama ironed clothes with a irons heated in the fireplace, and later with a iron that burned white gas. We had a fireplace, but you burned up on one side and froze on the other.

The largest coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania will be shut down in June. What replaces the electricity it produced? Windmills? Solar panels?

Western Pennsylvania, where the plant is located, has mostly cloudy days, sometimes an entire month in fall and winter will be totally clouded over. The windmills on the ridges are eyesores and they are killing thousands of birds. As I understand it, the wind turbines have to be shut down when the wind is too strong. When there’s no wind, the damn things don’t work at all.

Prepare for electricity blackouts in winter and summer, Pennsylvania, and all of the states that relied on this coal-fired generating station for electricity. Meanwhile, the Chinese are building one coal plant after another.

And Idiot Biden thinks he should get a second term to finish the job. When will people wake up?

“The main one is the Varreux terminal, which accounts for about 70 per cent of Haiti’s imports. Fuel arrives there by tanker ship and is typically held in one of about 20 large storage tanks operated by WINECO, the West Indies Energy Co., for distribution by truck.

“But those trucks have been unable to come and go since Sept. 12, due to a blockade imposed by the “G9” alliance of criminal gangs.”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fuel-oil-haiti-gangs-1.6619551

“Only about 12 per cent of rural households have electricity at home. For many of them, kerosene is the main fuel and the only source of light after the sun goes down.”

“Without that fuel, Haiti’s grid shuts down. So do the trucks that deliver food to supermarkets, the generators that refrigerate that food during the frequent power outages, and the factories and businesses that pay the wages that buy the food.

“That is why Haiti’s fuel crisis is now fast turning into a famine.”

Joe Biden doesn’t know what day it is. The circle of crows around him aren’t smart enough to pull off a water balloon bomb. They aren’t going to destroy the country or take our guns or force us on to Fed Coin or anything else. The monetary and banking system we currently have has got to be replaced so Biden and the Deep state are going to take the fall for the end of the old system.

Things will be changing radically in the very near future but for the better not the worse.

Things should get interesting in the Democratic NE & Midwest.

The states there won’t get enough sunshine in winter and Canada will not export hydroelectricity in order to go ‘green’ itself.

If politicians ruin our lives, I say we ruin theirs.
They don’t seem to get that whole “consent of the governed” part.

Sounds just like my childhood.

I hated ‘washdays’

The cast iron pot was located a good hundred feet (or so it seemed to me!) from the house where we had rain barrels to catch the water off the tin roof for washing clothes.... on a washboard!.....then hung on the line, nowadays called a ‘Solar Clothes dryer! LOL!................

2035

AOC: Where’s my electricity?

Con Ed: It gets pilfered off before it could get to your place. Would you like to participate in our home solar panel program?

AOC: We’ve had the panels ripped off our building twice before. The crooks wait until dark and off they come. They then get exported to Mexico.
