Grids Can’t Handle All the Solar and Wind Dems Want to Hook Up

Biden is doing a victory lap over 'green energy' systems that won't even be plugged in.

February 24, 2023

Surprise.
 
Our electric grids were shaky to begin with. They cover vast distances and are not being properly maintained. But then the Democrats come in with the brilliant idea of spending hundreds of billions on erratic and unreliable wind and solar which then delivers power erratically and puts a further strain on the grids. As the money gets shoveled out the door, unworkable and unfeasible green energy projects go out the door.
 
And the grids can’t handle them.
 
PJM Interconnection, which operates the nation’s largest regional grid, stretching from Illinois to New Jersey, has been so inundated by connection requests that last year it announced a freeze on new applications until 2026, so that it can work through a backlog of thousands of proposals, mostly for renewable energy.
 
It now takes roughly four years, on average, for developers to get approval, double the time it took a decade ago.
 
And when companies finally get their projects reviewed, they often face another hurdle: the local grid is at capacity, and they are required to spend much more than they planned for new transmission lines and other upgrades.
 
Many give up. Fewer than one-fifth of solar and wind proposals actually make it through the so-called interconnection queue, according to research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
 
Maybe having an actual plan beyond “The Earth is Exploding, We All Need to go Solar” would have been a good idea.
 
Biden is doing a victory lap over yet another bill that spends yet more money on ‘green energy’ systems that won’t even be plugged in.

Yes. If they can get rid of gas powered vehicles and EVs are scarce, fewer people can drive.

They dint want to hook up that much power. They just say that they do.

And if fewer people can drive, fewer people can go to work. 

And if fewer people can go to work, more people will be on welfare.

So, is their aim to make America a welfare state? Or even worse, turn us into a socialist state where everybody is dependent on the government.

And they squander billions on wind and solar that cannot be used.

Reminds me of Obama's Solyndra and other green new deal ordeal all over again.

There is not enough space in large cities to move everybody from the rural areas into the cities so that they don't have to drive.

So was the Afghanistan withdrawal, and so will this squandering of trillions of dollars that won't work.

There aren’t enough jobs either. Jobs are spread out everywhere.
