The weather here in Florida is always balmy, but not so for much of the United States, now gripped by bitter cold. This is not anything special, we have seen it all before if we have lived long enough and have a half decent memory. But around 80 percent of the nation faces life-threatening cold, with warnings being issued by the states. This cold has created a massive demand for energy for heating, something that for some could spell the difference between life and death. But this is where climate change ideologies kick in, as reliable energy requires the use of fossil fuels, contrary to the Biden administrations Green New Deal.
Texas at present is facing a power grid failure, as the renewable energy components that remain of the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas), remain stressed. Previously the ERCOT system failed in February 2021, when an extreme winter storm event caused a massive electricity generation failure. Texas then began moving away from solar and wind renewables, but it still has not moved away fast enough.
There has also been telling truths revealed about the reliability of electric vehicles in the cold, as seen in Chicago, where people have faced difficulties even recharging their vehicles, with recharging stations becoming blocked up with such vehicles.
Thus, not only does the present cold spell show the limits of renewable energy, and electric vehicles, but it also shows the absurdity of the claim that the present years are the hottest seen in 125,000 years. Tell that to an electric vehicle owner, who is stranded in the freezing cold as his/her car does not recharge and has become a useless piece of frozen metal.
"Over 150 million Americans are under a winter chill advisory due to life-threatening temperatures. Every state besides Hawaii has issued some form of caution to residents as nearly 80% of the nation faces below-freezing weather. Extreme weather highlights the importance of fossil fuels, as there is NO reliable alternative.
Texas is on the verge of having another power grid failure of the ERCOT system. Around 11,000 Texans experienced power outages on Monday. In 2021, a winter storm devastated the state, millions lost power, and hundreds lost their lives, causing state leaders to move further from renewables. Governor Abbott blamed solar and wind energy reliance for thrusting the state into a lethal situation, and called the Green New Deal "a deadly deal for the United States of America."
EV owners across the nation are already feeling the impact. Tesla owners in the Chicago area have been unable to charge their vehicles due to the extreme cold. The frigid temperatures have caused the charging stations to become congested with non-charging and abandoned cars, leading to a challenging situation for the owners. Cold weather, in general, will hurt the ability of electric vehicles to charge properly, requiring the battery to be preconditioned to accept a fast charge.
Yet, the US government wants to implement electric school buses and military vehicles.
California plans to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035 under the Advanced Clean Cars II, which will ban ALL gas car sales. California has routinely seen its power grid weaken due to extreme weather. In the summer of 2022, the California Independent System Operator called for a "voluntary energy conservation" during the upcoming Labor Day weekend due to the failing power grid. They are asking residents to refrain from charging their cars between 4 PM and 9 PM, which is when demand peaks. "If left unmanaged, the power demanded from many electric vehicles charging simultaneously in the evening will amplify existing peak loads, potentially outstripping the grid's current capacity to meet demand," Cornell University's College of Engineering stated.
The state estimates it will need 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, but they have a mere 80,000 currently. California does not have the infrastructure to implement this zero-emission ban without toppling the entire power grid. So, electric vehicles alone have the potential to take down California's power grid.
Clearly, we are amidst a period of global cooling and not warming. This is part of nature's cycle — we cannot intervene. The globalists have descended their private jets at Davos to discuss climate change and how they can eliminate the least desirable carbon — YOU. They will plot how to limit the public's usage of essential resources, causing people worldwide to suffer under the belief that they must go without to save the world.
The New Green Deal has become deadly in America and all climate change initiatives threaten civilization at large. The globalists will never convince free thinkers that they must save the planet by limiting indispensable resources that are essential for certain states and nations to remain inhabitable."
