Energy expert: Biden’s Bid To Crash the Grid
On May 4, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission members warned of “unprecedented challenges” to the nation’s electric system” and the “looming,” “very catastrophic situation” they could trigger, reports Robert Bryce at Substack.
They cited premature coal-plant closures, insufficient pipelines and massive subsidies for weather-dependent renewables that are driving fossil-fuel generators out of business.
Yet just a week later, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule — forcing plants to cut emissions by 90% by 2040 or shut down — that could lead most generators to close.
This, atop rules to force Americans to drive electric vehicles.
So while FERC is screaming about “catastrophic” grid failures, President Biden’s EPA is “pushing policies” to “dramatically increase” electric demand, while also further “undermining the reliability” of the grid.
Conservative: Pondering Neely’s Death
“What should we think about — what should we do in response to — the death of Jordan Neely?” asks William Voegeli at City Journal.
Progressives fault supposed hysteria about crime and homelessness. But: “The system saw ten people murdered in 2022, compared with an average of two per year from 2015 through 2019.”
And in Martial Simon’s subway-shove killing of Michelle Go last year, “There was no motive; the assailant and victim did not know each other. It would be hard to say, based on witness accounts, that Simon was poised to attack anyone or represented an imminent danger.”
How are civilians “to make accurate, instant psychological evaluations that gauge how much of a threat a particular homeless person” poses? “ ‘There is nothing [Jordan Neely] did’ on that subway car ‘to deserve death,’ [The New York Times’ Jamele] Bouie declares. But denunciation is not the only risk of assessing and choosing incorrectly. Michelle Go did nothing on that subway platform to deserve death, either.”
