Duke Energy’s Rolling Blackouts Take South Carolina Regulators ‘Completely By Surprise’
Half a million without power as winter storm grips the Carolinas …

This is what happens when idiots get control of the US Energy supplies. Basically: our nations wealth is energy. Communists and their Useful Democrat Idiots, are doing all they can to destroy our energy wealth. So, they can takeover using as one of Communisms main tools: Chaos, and Violence.
Getting rid of Coal power plants is insane. China is building massive numbers of them. Nukes have so many regulations, you can’t build them. So, Duke has to depend on “Green Energy,” that is only available less than 17% of the time. And, requires not 1 but 2 Natural Gas Generators to take over when Green Energy is not available. One for the power and one for backup.
Natural Gas is not a “Base Load,” efficient power source like Coal, Hydro, etc. It’s inefficient and expensive. It’s very similar to running your house on a Harbor Freight Gas Generator. Costs are about the same. We are lucky the Democrat Communsts havn’t frozen all of the USA like their EU Communist partners are doing in Europe.
Seems that Southern Company has no problem in building nukes. Two new units at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro coming on line in 2023. BTW,they are exact twins of the two units that SCANA attemped to build in Jenkinsville. Ever wonder why they couldn’t do it. Also,those ate numbers 4 and 5 od the last four SCANA walked off on. Late 70’s they quit on units 2 and 3.
Whoops – the relevant ratio is LACE/LCOE. Regardless, the figures are correct.
There should be an investigation and answers provided for:
1) Did Duke sell excess power during those outages and for what price?
2) What was the spot price for power during those outages and did Duke attempt to purchase power to avoid these outages?
3) How were outage decisions made and were rural customers shed before commercial customers. Many seemed to observe that businesses were not impacted anywhere close to the same degree as rural.
Might want to look in to the man who was dependent on oxygen that died during the time the power was shut off in Anderson. Definitely some liability there
