Pennsylvania State Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-York) wrote in a late Monday Facebook post that the state’s surplus electricity supplies were exported to Maryland during Monday’s peak demand surge, as temperatures in the region approached 100°F. She credited Pennsylvania’s stable power grid with preventing a blackout crisis in “our ‘green energy’ neighbor – Maryland.” As we’ve reported on several occasions, far-left climate Marxists running Maryland have mismanaged the grid, which now teeters on the verge of a Spain-style blackout disaster if outside energy imports are not secured.
“Just a friendly note to our “green energy” neighbor – Maryland: You’re welcome,” Sen. Phillips-Hill wrote in the post.
She said, “During this heat wave, Maryland consumers demand a lot more energy than it generates. If it was not for Pennsylvania – it would be lights out and air conditioning off,” adding, “This is another reminder that Maryland should work on supporting (and not shutting down) baseload energy generation rather than require farmers in Southern York County to give up pristine farmland to construct more transmission lines.”
Build more nuclear power plants and this won’t be a topic of discussion or a continuing issue.
Rolling blackouts are coming to Maryland and Delaware. Idiots have been forcing coal fired reliable power plants in both states to shut down due to new air quality laws. The fact is, wind and solar power are not reliable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nuclear is the other alternative but it takes years to acquire property and get permits and then more years to build, test, and get on line, a 15 to 20 year process. This was not thought out thoroughly or properly before the damage was done. Now we will be forced to deal with outages, no lights, no heat, no AC, no home oxygen generators, etc, all for these new bogus green laws to save the planet, which has been going through climate changes for thousands of years. Anyone remember the ice age? It wasn’t humans with their camp fires warming the planet communicating with smoke signals that melted the ice, and it wasn’t cow farts either. The seriously educated people are slowly dying off and the next generation is destroying hard earned progress. What a great time to be old.
