Default Rolling blackouts. What will happen when??

When we start putting electric cars on the grid. Greenies keep saying we need to move to electric cars, or at the least hybrids. They also want no more power plants built. Nuclear is to dangerous, fossil fuels are too dirty, so what do they purpose we do when/if they get their way on electric cars.

It's amamzing how ignorant some of these people are. I saw an interview with some woman who was a suppossed "environmental expert" who was pushing electric cars. The interviewer asked a similar question--where will the electricity come from? With a confused look on her face, she said "the wall socket". The host started to try and explain, but just shook his head--she literally believed that electricity came from the socket--evidently she thought it was generated there.

Funny thing, the places with the worst blackouts and the worst deficits will be the first to mandate electric cars and state funding for them--i.e., California.

Burnie, thanks for the OP.

It's worse than just rolling blackouts. Portions of New Mexico ran out of natural gas. Hotels and motels in Alamagordo closed because of a lack of heat. The 3,500 square home of a friend was trashed when the gas went off and the pipes froze, flooding the entire house. The house will have to be gutted.

IMO: The US is well on it's way to becoming a third world country. Fancy that; a third world country with thousands of electric cars being pulled by horses.

Something else comes to mind. Wind is a big thing here in Texas, but I do not believe wind or solar will ever be able to supply our energy needs by themselves. T-Bone is even backing away from it. Or it appears that way.

funny comin from you

as soon as solar panels are equipped on every house, the sun will produce your power. it will be free...personally, i cant wait to start gettin money from the electric company, vs sendin them that money every month.
i heard the wash your solar panels theory, well, a window washer is $40 a month, vs my $350 electric bill in the summer.
now.. will this take over the world? i doubt it, but for me, it sounds like a money saver to buy the panels and do my own place...you dont have ta do yours, but when your $100 is coming right to my mailbox, well, lets just say my neighbor would be po'ed if he knew i was gettin his money lol

Have you looked into the price of solar paneling a house? If it didnt cost as much as a house to install a roof full of them, I would do it. It would be great. Never need to roof your house again, and all the free energy you want. I looked into it, and it is just way too expensive.
