The cars run on batteries. You'd need complete cloud cover over a substantial period to drain the home battery completely.
That's a lie (probably not yours, but a lie still). People died because the fossil fuel infrastructures was poorly maintained, and gas wasn't flowing. Wind/solar suffered much less than fossil fuels in that freeze.
Relying on gas/oil is even worse.
Using your own standard of truth, your post here is also a lie.
Political pressures affect many decisions relating to power supply and reserve or emergency capacity in many places. Such was the case in south Texas. Under political pressure to "go green", they shut down or didn't maintain operability of enough plants, just so they could claim some god-damn "green" percentage achievement.
You lie the way Game does above,quibbling about "supply" or "delivery" definitions when the big lie is that our madness or lounacy for "green" progress is the reason we have shut down pipelines and power plants. Bad business decisions all, irresponsible and even dangerous to public health or national security.
Why we care about fossil fuels is a big lie on the whole.
The Arctic Melt off cited in most environmental and climate scaremongering is something that has happened before within our current global warming, and generally happens in interrglacial warm periods. The facts of science are suppressed by a coplicit fraudulent high priethood of "peer reviewers" and political hacks in research granting. But the photos from Russia of guys out in the muck/shallows of the former Arctic Ice terrain, puilling out tusks from woolly mammoths, who within 15-30k years were there grazing on lush grasslands is absolute proof that it happens, naturally, regardless of our fossil fuel combustion engines.
When I was younger, the lie was about "peak oil" and predictions of no more fossil fuel in 20 years. Then I bought some ground with oil rights and went to ask a neighbor who was known to be in the business. He was nice on that day. He walked me around his huge office showing me maps on the walls of Western US states where oil is proven. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada. That neighbor worked for the Rockerfellers for over 50 years. We talked about coal, as it was right after the Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument declaration by Pres.CFlinton. There are huge coal deposits in Utah and surrounding states as well, not so much Nevada or California. Colorado Plateau province. Enough to supply the world energy for hundreds of years, a thousand years even, and more if we just conserve it some.
A Dutch outfit was developing Kaiparowits coal, planning to sluice it down to Southern Nevada, contaierize it dry, and ship it to Indonesia and other SE Asia areas. The Philippines has some steel plants that could use it.
He said "We can't let them have that coal."
Clinton has rested at the Rockefeller ranch at Grand Teton for two weeks before making that sweeping "environmental" monument.
Speaking with a friend then of the family that ran the SL Trib, I noted that when the need comes and the right people own the mineral rights, the EGS would be developed just the same, she simply said "I don't care". Great, dedicated Environmentalist there.
Fact is, the whole environmental and green movement is owned by cartelists who are using it to leverage political power to control our resources, squeezing out competitors and raising prices for us. Fake greenies, Fake com ies. Fake socialists, and whole damn shipload of dupes who believe what they read in the newspapers like Red and most others in here.
I don't really blame anyone for not just believing what I say in here. Who the hell am I. But its time to do some more thinking, for all of us.
John D. Rockefeller was, at the very least, a genius. He formulated a global oil resource politcy that was simply stated: "Use theirs first".
We have plenty of oil and gas and coal, and it really doesn't hurt to use it. But if it were ever really the absolute fact that we could not sustain our global economic and political dominance because of no resources, we'd be up **** creek. As someone who believes in "The American Experiment" and "American Exceptionalism", I am not willing to run on a policy that is not sound in the long term.
But neither am I down with any idea of just going totalitarian fascist straight out.
