   Half of a half years electrical need, and the problem is the new power   
   going onto the GRID isn't sufficient enough that they can't tell us that   
   we won't have brown outs and rolling black outs... plus it won't go   
   GREEN and CARBON NEUTRAL for several years, given the CO2 required to   
   build and ship and install/maintain them.   
      
      
   The real story is that they can't install enough WIND/SOLAR power to   
   offset the need created by system/grid growth and replacement of old   
   fossil and Nuclear systems going offline...   
      
      
   Which means that there has to be Fossil or Nuclear built to keep from   
   crashing the GRID and having large parts of the NATION suffer power   
   shortages... and all that while the EV's are being sold pushed and   
   subsidized and will cause further problems of NOT just producing the   
   electric but also delivering it over the grid that was built for Houses   
   and industry NOT cars and mass transit/trucking.   
      
   --   
   -That's karma-   
      
   The result is DEMOCRATS lies about history and reality to themselves and   
   others means their attempts to figure-out what's wrong is an exercise in   
   futility, because what they think they know they really don't know, and   
   fixing problems without the truth... becomes a fools errand.
