The establishment media has finally admitted that the corrupt globalists forced to shift towards green energy will cause havoc with power supplies and push the power grid to “the brink.”
In places like Northern Virginia, where the equivalent of several big nuclear plants is required to handle the upcoming data centers there, demand is skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, growing demand could push it to a breaking point in Texas, as we’ve already seen electricity shortages on the hottest days of summer.
Arizona’s biggest utility is expected to be out of transmission capacity before the decade’s end.
“Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid.”
Given its great demand for power, they cite AI, rapid scaling of cloud computing, and Crypto mining as part of the problem.
They also highlight that manufacturers of clean technologies such as electric vehicle batteries are building many factories while being supported by federal incentives. However, utility projections for the power required by these new factories have nearly doubled and could grow even further.
They also add that the green energy transition is pushing many Americans to rely on the power grid for fueling their cars, heat pumps, and other appliances that used to run on fossil fuels.
The chairman of the electricity regulator Georgia Public Service Commission, Jason Shaw, said:
“When you look at the numbers, it is staggering. It makes you scratch your head and wonder how we ended up in this situation. How were the projections that far off? This has created a challenge like we have never seen before.”
Meanwhile, solar plant inverters are suffering from systemic performance issues that can trigger major power outages.
