And what could,be causing the new surge? Surely not the fact that people are being forced to go all electric everything- oh heck no- that couldn’t be it! /s
But regardless. Man could cause climate change if we multiplied the world’s energy production/use 100 times. There stil. Wouldn’t be enough co2 to move the needle one iota since our total c02 production amounts to just 0.00136%. Think about that- only 0.00136% of the atmosphere has co2 in it caused by man! Nowhere near enough to block heat from Escaping! To suggest that it is enough is to suggest that a piece of cloth which has only 0.00136% coverage on the body is “causing massive overheating for the person-
Or, take a bowl, fill it with 100 degree water, then somehow fashion a very thin lid which only covers 0.00136% of the top, and tell me if it causes massive overheating in the bowl, and tell me that it prevented enough heat from escaping that the bow couldn’t cool off to room temperature properly.
Ignorance and Stupidity pretends there are any achievable “climate goals”.
I don’t know how it is in other states but here in Texas, all our “asylum-seeking refugees” are driving brand new fossil fuel pickups and SUVs before the Rio Grande mud on their Nike Air Jordans is dry.
More electric cars = more power requirements.
More journalism from the NYTimes reprinted in the Seattle Times means more blather blathering on!
My private climate goal for today is to dig in a new flower bed. No government or media input is welcome. The sun will provide some additional vitamin D by the simple consequence of being out on a lovely spring day.
Time to lock down again. This time, let’s ration all energy use by non-elite citizens.
Let’s see. A gazillion electric vehicles, which we’ve warned would overload the grid, certainly couldn’t be the problem, could it?
We should build giant superconducting power transmission lines from China where they have plenty of coal powered plants.
Didn’t electricity use decline or flatten as LED lights replaced the incandescents? Now that that transition is nearly complete, we’d expect electricity usage to resume its longer-term growth path, wouldn’t we?
Well gosh I can’t imagine. The Sheetz gas station down the street has at least 7 new ev chargers going in because the 6 already there are pretty busy.
Isn’t that saving energy? Or something??
The U.S. has "climate goals"?
What are they? Who decided?
The democrats want to force electric only in homes and cars so they can turn off your power and increase theirs.
"Demand for electricity, which has stayed largely flat for two decades, has begun to surge."
Near top of the list that Leftists vote for, given their "science" that:
Electricity Comes from Walls
Food Comes from Shelves
It’s not threatening my climate goals.
HOW MANY NEW PEOPLE IN THE SAME COUNTRY? That may have something to do with more demand.... flippin’ morons.
My electric bill “supply charge” has tripled since 12/2020. I checked. My tenants are complaining about the high power bills. Most of them are democrats. I educate them about who is paying for the new green deal.
It’s my air fryer, I knew this would happen!
The powers that be advise you to cut back your AC use on hot days, to protect the “grid”, and to buy an electric auto. What could possibly go wrong?
Mobility = freedom. So mobility must be discouraged.
