The Solution to Maine's ISO-NE Problem

Tesla Owner Stranded at Supercharger Station On Christmas Eve After Cold Weather Paralyzes Battery

   Maine, is it time to abandon the sinking ship that is ISO-NE? Wholesale electric prices are soaring to $2+ a kilowatt hour as the temperatures hit the teens. It will get a heck of a lot colder than that before Winter gives way to Spring. Oil is being burned at a million gallons + per day to keep New England on the knife's edge of rolling blackouts.

Excerpt from a recap of  state-by-state power struggles due to extreme cold from ZeroHedge:

Update (1720ET): 

ISO New England warned it has "insufficient reserve supplies" and asked members to "voluntarily curtail power" amid grid strain. 

According to Bloomberg, the grid operator declared an energy emergency level 1 and requested utilities to reduce electricity consumption. 

"We have declared a power caution for the…

I’ve been wondering ……….

Could the push for EV mandates be fomented by the coal companies?

Don’t laugh yet.

Hear me out.

As I’ve discussed in the past, the concept of Global Warming was a creation of the Nuclear Power Industry. It was an effort, started in the 1970s, to jumpstart stalled nuclear plant construction.

Today, coal use for power generation has reached a 30-year low. Is the Coal Industry, similarly, attempting to create an environment…

The early part of the year is dominated by a regime of good wind output, supplemented by significant net imports from the Continent and some coal burn.

The start of the Ukraine war sees prices spike upwards in March followed by a collapse of wind as the…

THIS IS THE KIND OF BS THAT IS SENT TO THE PUC AND AUGUSTA LAWMAKERS TO INFLUENCE THEM INTO CONDONING THE RAPE OF THE RATEPAYERS BY ALLOWING INEFFICIENT WIND TO CORRUPT THE GRID!!

SEE BS STUDY FOLLOWING MY REBUTTAL 

     TO BE DISPATCHED INTO THE NEW ENGLAND GRID, A GENERATOR, NO MATTER THE RESOURCE PRODUCING IT, MUST OFFER IT"S OUTPUT (OR IN THE CASE OF WIND, THE ESTIMATED OUTPUT) AT A PRICE BELOW OTHER GENERATOR…

 The Maine PUC recently rejected a proposal for one-time payment of $75 to low-income people with electricity bills and emphasized that it would shift costs to other ratepayers. 

The attorney argues that voters who chose to vote on election day should have known it was going to disenfranchise them.

WTH, In the case the judge declares a revote, will it be a one-day event and is this attorney warning that the county will again screw it…

Electric Vehicles: Not a Deal for You or the Environment

The always bipartisan Sen Collins has once again joined with Mitch McConnell his cadre of Uniparty RINOs to stick it to the  American taxpayer and further bury their children and grandchildren to a life of serfdom. The 2023 Omnibus budget bill is all but secure, now that 22 Republicans signed on to hand Shumer, Pelosi and Biden a massive win in a lame duck session - a move that will go down in history.

Anyway, here's good piece on the whole mess. …
