100 Million Living in Midwest, West Coast and Southwest face summer Power Outages from Hot Weather, climate change, overstretched fossil fuel power plants and Unreliable Green Alternatives, energy regulator warns
About 100 million Americans face power blackouts this summer as roasting weather, overstretched powerplants and unreliable green energy sources combine to create a perfect storm of problems.
States stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean which are home to tens of millions of Americans could have a hard time producing enough power for their residents this summer.
The 'MISO' part of America's power grid - whose full name is the Midcontinent Independent System Operator is at greatest risk of a large-scale outage.
That warning was given by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which released a map showing Michigan, most of Indiana, most of Illinois, and Wisconsin were in trouble.
Also at the highest risk are Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and a small part of East Texas. That high-risk classification means that the existing power grid is 'potentially insufficient to meet peak load during both normal and extreme conditions,' according to NERC.
This map shows the areas at greatest risk of power outages this summer. Orange means a higher than normal risk, with red meaning an extremely high risk

How many coal fired plants in those regions were not only shut down, but also razed that could have provided “emergency” support. Bush, Clinton, Obama and Trump should all have their power cut off when these areas black or brown out100 Million Living in Midwest, West Coast and Southwest face summer Power Outages from Hot Weather, climate change, overstretched fossil fuel power plants and Unreliable Green Alternatives, energy regulator warns

Wind Power Fails Texas Electrical Grid When It Needs It The Most
Wind power is failing Texas during a record-setting heat wave with turbines producing only 8% of their potential energy output, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Energy use is skyrocketing as Texans are desperate to cool their homes due to triple-digit temperatures across the state, which reached 108 degrees Fahrenheit in Waco on Saturday, exceeding the previous record set in 1917 by 4 degrees, according to The Guardian. However, wind speeds remain low, neutering Texas’ collection of wind farms as the electrical grid struggles to cope with soaring demand, according to The Dallas Morning News.

“Wind capacity in Texas is huge, but it isn’t much use in the summer when hot days tend to be windless while at the same time the heat increases demand for air conditioning,” Myron Ebell, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
