Ominously, our grid is in an increasingly fragile state. Not only have we recently had statewide blackouts in CA (2020) and TX (2021), this summer shortages are occurring all around the US. FERC Commissioner Mark Christie puts it bluntly “We’re heading for a reliability crisis.” — PolitiTweet.org

A reliable grid is a foundation of our quality of life. Our lives depend on ultra-reliable electricity for the refrigerators that preserve our food, the water treatment plants that keep our water drinkable, the A/C that keeps us cool, the factories that produce our goods, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

The root cause of our grid’s reliability problems is simple: America is shutting down too many reliable power plants—plants that can be controlled to produce electricity when needed in the exact quantity needed. And it is attempting to replace them with unreliable solar and wind. — PolitiTweet.org
