Summary:
Some claim that overreliance on renewable energy is a fraudulent scheme, a ploy by promoters to profit. However, it’s essential to note that this is a contentious issue, with numerous experts and organizations advocating a transition to renewable energy on both environmental and economic grounds. In particular, in a region with frequent overcast days, protective automatic relays shut off when electricity demand exceeds capacity.
There’s no need for a physics class or a PHD in electrical engineering to grasp the gravity of the problem. Any system pushed beyond its limits will inevitably collapse, be it temporarily or for an extended period. Imagine much of Europe plunged into darkness for up to 30 days. Can our standard of living withstand such a disruption?
The consequences of losing electricity are catastrophic. Almost every element of our lives depends on electricity, whether it is generated.

Replacing fossil-fuel energy generation with renewables, a move often justified in the name of ‘climate change,’ constitutes a strategic offensive against the European and American public.
This constitutes a ‘war,’ not a physical combat, but a battle of ideas fought in the minds of ordinary citizens. The evidence for this “war’ is the significant economic upheaval, loss of control, increased cost of living, and a drastic shift in power dynamics that the transition to renewable energy could bring, all of which could profoundly affect our personal and financial stability. For instance, the increased cost of living due to higher electricity bills and the potential loss of control over energy production and distribution indicate this ‘war’.
The ‘weapons’ used are psychological and fear tactics to manipulate public opinion
The strategies employed are complex and involve data manipulation, including neurological, biological, and economic

A top energy grid operator warned that the U.S. would face widespread rolling energy blackouts this summer because demands for electricity will exceed the capacity to produce enough. Shortages will exist in all parts of the country where summers are hot. This is now unfolding across Europe.

Replacing fossil fuel and electrifying everything will require a massive overhaul of the nation’s electrical generation apparatus and utility infrastructure. There are approximately 3,000 electric utilities with wires, poles, and transformers. There are approximately 6-80 million distribution transformers, of which two-thirds require replacement. The system will require a significant overhaul, with heavier transfers to handle higher power levels, including the installation of new utility poles to support the increased ight. Trillions of dollars will be necessary, only to be created out of thin air by the government, to raise the national debt of taxpayers.
The corporatists who control the decisions, contracts, manufacturing, and installation of new components will realize substantial profits from the transition to renewable energy. This is because the transition requires significant investment in new infrastructure, and these corporations stand to gain financially from these projects. The author argues that this profit motive is a key driver of the push for renewable energy and that it comes at the expense of the average citizen. Corporations win, the people lose, and there will be no change in the climate.
People will bear thecostst of higher electricity bills and reduced flexibility and mobility. Electricity bills will become a significant portion of an average family’s disposable income.

The Biden administration orchestrated a plan with far-reaching negative consequences. These include the potential erosion of personal freedoms, rising costs of goods and services, and a significant Impact on our way of life.
The realities are as follows:
Destruction of the entire petroleum and coal energy industries.
With the transition to renewable energy, we can expect a dramatic increase in the cost of goods and services. This could mean higher prices for everyday goods, making it more difficult for the average person to afford the necessities of life, thereby creating financial strain and burden.
Rising Housing costs, with appliances and home maintenance equipment to be all-electric. The systematic erosion of living standards, mobility, and the middle class could lead to a potential loss of personal freedoms and a negative Impact on our way of life. This shift could significantly alter our daily lives and how we interact with the world around us, raising concerns about the future of our society.
The injection of unlimited fiat currency into the economic system, which creates a vertical trajectory of new money, is unsustainable and leads to runaway inflation.
Uncontrolled inflation
Depreciation of the purchasing power of the dollar.
Increasing taxation.
Risk-constraining regulations are designed to make people think it is necessary to save the planet.
Rising interest rates.
Continuous meddling in other countries’ affairs and threats of sanctions, tariffs, isolation, confiscation of foreign assets, and even war. The military-industrial complex and its corporate stockholders profit hugely from this meddling worldwide.
The globalists and the government know that the way to control the public is to instill fear of destruction and loss of lives. Political systems thrive on exploiting the save me mentality.
I believe that the public is being brainwashed into believing that hydrocarbon energy is wrong and that giving up personal freedoms is the tradeoff for ‘green energy.’ The term ‘Green energy’ refers to energy produced from renewable sources, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power, and is considered environmentally friendly and sustainable. I do not share this view and believe that the elites are exempt from this “brainwashing.’
There will always remain abundant natural resources and jet fuel for the rich.
The size and intrusion of government have been continuously growing. Since the government has created a monopoly enterprise, we can expect that it will eventually destroy the country’s entire economic infrastructure.
Every newly created bureaucracy magnifies power and size and never disappears. A different name merely reinvents some Th’ monopoly members,’ referring to those who hold a monopoly or exclusive control over a particular market or industry, only represents themselves.
Rising cost of beer and wine.
Only the wealthy, well-off, and government employees with a monopoly power status would survive.
The Donald Trump administration is making a great effort to cancel out much of the damaging requirements, but is receiving pushback from the entrenched socialist, redistributist, and globalist governing elitists. Drill, baby, drill is now back in vogue.
The scarcity of water and electricity is a daily topic in the news for the entire U.S. population. It is also a topic of everyday conversation worldwide. Most power generation is from gasoline and diesel, which are petroleum products; the third power source is natural gas, a petroleum product. The S.Hass a 98has -year natural gas supply and 53 years of oil reserves at current consumption rates. However, government leadership is attempting to destroy the entire industry, including the gas, diesel, and natural gas sectors.

Our utility systems are massively interconnected. There is much more to learn than requiring a few flashlights and candles for a few hours. It’s essential to understand what happens when the electricity is shut off.
A complex system generates, stores, and transfers electricity. Electricity is supplied through an electrical grid located far from our neighborhoods. Southern California receives its electricity from various sources, including wind-powered generators, hydroelectric power, natural gas-powered electric turbine generators, and photovoltaic cell (solar) systems.
The push for solar is a hoax against the public. Renewable energy sources account for approximately 20% of utility-scale electricity generation in the U.S. Hydropower (7.3%), wind (8.4%), and solar (3.3%) are the major contributors.
Most large commercial electric power generators rely on natural gas, which accounts for nearly 33% of the entire U.S. electric generation fleet. Almost all new conventional electricity generation facilities are powered by natural gas. For gas distribution, natural-gas-powered engine pumps supply the main compressor stations, which in turn feed large interstate pipelines.
The ‘natural gas grid’ is a system of pipelines and other infrastructure that transports natural gas from production sites to consumers. The natural gas grid reciprocally relies on electricity to pump gas to end locations. To ensure smooth operation of the gas grid in residential distribution to consumers, electric-powered compressors and pumping stations are maintained throughout the system. If the electricity goes out or the pump station pressure fails, the pressure will not be sufficient to drive natural gas into the home. Although the pressure at the point of delivery to the house is approximately 1 psi (pounds per square inch), it must be increased to travel through the pipes.
Large-volume pipelining transports gas to storage facilities and the local utility transmission station, and pressure must be significantly higher when traveling to multiple homes, ranging from 60 to 1,500 pounds per square inch (PSI). Municipal- and commercial-sized portable generator backup systems with some redundancy are also available. Failures that require awareness of disaster preparedness planning will still occur.
A community electric grid breakdown may occur due to excessive usage, faulty systems, or intentional disconnections by electricity service providers. Government regulatory overreach has created gridlock in upgrades, replacements, and renewals, thereby increasing the complexity of responding to natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, accidents, and sabotage.
Past presidents Biden and Obama declared war on their citizens. The elites are driving petroleum-based fuel processors and fuel users out of business. The grid is being restricted rather than increased. The grid requires improvement, asit is insufficient to meet future capacity demands. As a result, we observe, for example, in Texas, that hot weather causes the grid to freeze due to overuse. Commercial corridors, industrial users, and neighborhoods have plunged into darkness. While electrical suppliers strive to keep up, there will be a time when it will be impossible to do so.
Natural gas is abundant in the U.S., with a 98-year supply. However, U.S. leadership is working to undermine that industry. Next, the government will encourage and require individuals to reduce energy consumption. We must charge Teslas by installing a cost-effective solar panel system on our roof. U.S. leadership will enable and then promote the conservation of all natural resources. Similar abusive actions are prohibiting the amount of water we use and reducing the amount of everything else. However, private jet fuel will be readily available to the elite.
As part of the conversion to an all-electricity system, the government plans to charge citizens for electricity consumption based on their income levels, thereby adopting a progressive taxation model. Pricing will consist of a flat usage fee and a substantially higher fee for high users, thereby serving as a mechanism for redistributing usage.

If World War III were to occur, our enemy’s first offensive action would be to destroy the electrical grids and communications networks throughout the U.S. Imagine a time when all electrical systems are destroyed and remain unreparable for an extended period. Imagine no electricity, communication devices, computers, or auto travel, stuck like you were back at the turn of the 19th century. Panic is likely when life and survival become exponentially more difficult. The same would apply to the enemy country at war with the U.S. Their electric grids and communications networks would be destroyed.
Water grid infrastructure is a state-wide network of storage facilities that capture rainwater and snow runoff in reservoirs and aquifers. Water movement relies on dams, thousands of miles of rivers, canals, reservoirs, aqueducts, and hundreds of miles of pipes to move water where needed. The system relies on sizable electrical pumping stations, valves, filtration, and treatment equipment. A large holding tank facility cannot be refilled without electricity, and large water pumps without electricity or functioning pumps would have no means of moving water. Keeping community water storage tanks above homes allows gravity to generate a down-draft pressure, providing a temporary solution for maintaining adequate water pressure.
Water and sewer management also requires the use of electrical motors. Because water flows by gravity, lift and pumping stations are necessary. Lift stations are used to pump wastewater to a higher elevation. In contrast, pump stations are designed to raise water to a higherlevel. Pumps move water to a higher level, away from basements, or to higher terrain for runoff. The water is directed into a catch basin and then returned to the sump pump, which discharges it to street level, a storm drain, or a dry well. Some sump pumps are hardwired into the electrical system and have a battery backup.
When the electricity goes out in your home, what other systems should you expect to be affected?
The electrical appliances will not function, including the potentially catastrophic consequences of not charging your cell phone, iPad, and flat-screen TV. What about the garage charging unit for your Tesla electric vehicle and the neighborhood charging station? So get ready to pedal your bicycle after you pump up the tires using an old-fashioned hand pump! Who has one of those? We may lose all those delicious frozen TV dinners and Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream in the freezer.
Natural gas is supplied through a different system that requires electricity. The problem remains that the gas will flow continuously through the lines only with the aid of pressure pumps and regulators, which require electricity. Gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, dishwashers, clothes washers, and forced-air heating and cooling will not work. Gas appliances, including water heaters, typically use an electric pilot-light ignition system.
Gas stations will shut down because the fueling pumps require electricity to operate.
If you go to the supermarket, the check-out stand and equipment, such as the freezer room, may not be powered. However, many larger retailers have backup generators fueled by propane that can be started with a 12-volt battery-operated starter.
You need all the above services if you go to your favorite restaurant. Uber Eats and DoorDash food delivery services will have the same problem, and Pizza Man will not deliver.
Suppose you rely on a truck transportation system that uses internal combustion engines to deliver goods. In that case, they may be able to get fuel pumped into the truck if the trucking company has its own fuel stock and a self-sufficient pumping station. Ostt truckers do not.
For those who choose to install solar energy cells on the roof to generate electricity, the electricity is transferred through the community electric grid to the utility company for storage. The electricity is then transferred from the community facility back to your home. Sorry, the transfer system from the grid back to the consumer relies on electricity.
If the homeowner purchases a large battery pack and an inverter, they will create, store, and distribute their own electricity. Only those who purchased the solar panel system would spend $5,000 to $10,000 on the battery storage system if they were aware ofthe consequences. Home electrical storage units are DC (direct current) rather than AC (alternating current).AC (alternating current). The DC system requires an inverter to convert the DC into AC. To operate your appliances and equipment, the electrical current is altered to 110 volts.
So, who created the mess? The government leadership.
The most obvious answer is a home-based backup generator. There are many options available, depending on one’s requirements for generating ongoing electricity. However, this is an overview article and does not address backup generators, which require consumer research. Options include:
The question is the size of a family budget. Generator units differ in their wattage and space requirements, but the solution is available at a price. They can range from $500 to $100,000.
Consumers can choose between a portable or permanent standby generator to suit their needs.
Even units operate on multiple fuel sources, including natural gas, propane, and gasoline.
If one fuel source is unavailable, the consumer can switch to an alternative fuel source as easily as changing a quick-disconnect coupling.
