If you visit a local library, you may discover there was a time when the focus of electricity companies was to generate and provide the most dependable, efficient, lowest cost and critical power to customers who need electricity to live. Alas, those were in the olden days, when service providers were generally focused on improving the quality of life of their customers.
In the modern era, the horrible carbon emitters, aka customers, have become the parasite to manage. People are now a problematic encumbrance blocking the high-minded climate and financial aspirations of the energy corporations.
Heating, cooling and comfort? Get a grip Boomers and GenXer’s, those insufferably selfish indulgences were the priorities of yesteryear.
Yes Alice, as we try to peer through the looking glass, we discover it’s a mirror now. The reflection is the opposite of normal, the reflection is the world of pretending. Say hello to the modern Christmastime when you pray for coal in your stocking.
From Pennsylvania and New Jersey, westward to Illinois and Ohio and all the way south into South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and beyond, power companies are turning off the electricity to preserve and equally distribute the minimal amount of energy they are able to generate.
This my friends, is the “equitable distribution of misery.” How weird does it feel to see that generational prediction turning into reality?
TENNESSEE – […] The TVA began instructing local power companies to reduce power usage on Friday night, and some have instituted rolling blackouts in some cities such as Nashville, Tennessee. Some local power companies have also started using rolling blackouts after the TVA asked them to reduce power usage.
PJM Interconnection, based in Pennsylvania, also asked companies within its system to conserve energy. The company asked residents to turn off non-essential lights, set their thermostats lower than usual, and not use major appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines, the AP reported.
PJM covers areas in Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C, according to the AP. (read more)
I’m not even trying to keep my downstairs warm this winter. Too expensive. Shockingly expensive this year there was a 75% increase in electricity this year. The stove baking potatoes is all the warmth we get downstairs.
Anyone on electric home heating is hating life right now
All the windmills and solar panels in the world aren’t helping them a damn bit right now
Their fellow countrymen on the hated home heating oil or natural gas are sitting in the catbird seat
I reckon
I keep hearing this but I’m in VA and have Dominion Energy and the rates have been really reasonable for years now. They lost a suit on rates but I never noticed them being inflated. I’m really sorry for those who are paying increased rates but it’s been financially beneficial to be on total electric for heating.
We’re CVEC in central Virginia.
TPTB are not going to let electricity skyrocket for a while. Once people buy a bunch of electric space heaters and heat producing fans for individual rooms, boom! ” Electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket”, Obama said.
“I keep hearing this but I’m in VA and have Dominion Energy and the rates have been really reasonable for years now”
Well – looking back, I see my comment wasn’t clear as to intent
But I wasn’t referring to rates
I was referring to people on electric who have no heat right now because the power is out in their area
Not commenting on expensive heat
Commenting on NO heat
This is the trajectory.
Look at Surinam
There is a huge difference between expensive food/fuel
and NO food/fuel.
We are seeing the beginnings of the NO part of this dynamic.
Its an effort to reduce our standard of living in the west.
Not the politicians and rich peoples standard of living,
but everyone else’s.
This won’t end well. It’s never a good idea to close all the exits
and wait for the big freak out. But that’s what’s happening.
“We are seeing the beginnings of the NO part of this dynamic”
Wow, Bobo, you phrased that really, really well
I’m saving that one
You got it. It is not about us proles going green, it is about us proles going without.
I don’t know about others, but our natural gas bill was more than doubled, electricity up as well. Thanks to Slow Joe and his gang, we’re all in for a long, cold haul.
Yeah, Patriot, your heat is more expensive
But at least you HAVE heat
Bunch of electric-heat homeowners are sucking wind right now ’cause they’ve got nada
“nada caliente”
… I fear we’ll find ourselves saying more and more frequently in this formerly great nation of ours
Still, more expensive than last year, but at least we’re not dependent on the electric grid.
Amen, Joe
Sure you are, or at least most people are. Many ng and propane furnaces require electricity to fire and to run the controller.
The cost of home heating oil in New York is twice as expensive as last year at $6 a gallon. With a small tank of 275 gallons, it now costs $1650 compared to $825 last year. That’s an extra $800 to lay out after getting bludgeoned at the grocery store and gas station all year. If its a bad winter, and it looks like its going to be, they can expect to shell out another $1650 in a couple months. Its a catbird seat only if you’re rich. Everyone else is going to have to choose between heat or food or driving to work. Pretty sure every other luxury item has already been purged from the budget.
No doubt, Botched
… but there are a bunch of even unhappier homes right now with baseboard electric heating
… and no heat because the electric is out
You have to have electricity to run a NG or Propane fired furnace. Most these days have electric ignition and controls and they need to run the blower motor. Years ago during an ice storm which took out our power for several days, I installed a plug set on the power cord running to the furnace.
When we lose power I can drag out the generator and run two multi plug extension cords in from it. With the gas generator I have now I can run the furnace, fridge, water cooler, several lights, a TV and the blower in the fireplace insert.
However, my well pump, water heater, and stove are all 220 V and the generator is not used to run them.
My next door ____ removed their propane tank years ago and later realized their mistake and bought a 100 gallon tank and set it by the back porch.
While in the small bedroom (easier to heat) I have often wondered their electric bill when it is cold because I can hear the heat pump every time it comes on.
Well, no sound from that house now–they must have started using that 100 gallon tank!!!
I know this, I used the heater for an hour or two with temps far below 32 just testing and it was well over $10 an hour!!!
They were rationing fuel oil out east.
Propane is almost 75% higher than 2 years ago.
I’m doubling up on clothes and blankets.
Can’t believe that the downstair never gets warm regardless so I close off as much as I can.
Upstairs is my living room, kitchen office, dinning and Master suite.
FYI — My heating is gas …
I am right with you, kin.
I have closed off flow to unneeded or little used rooms (about 1/3 of the home, including laundry, office and powder room) closed their vents, doors – the entire bottom floor is at 64 degree (underground plateau) – and am paying $100 less than in October.
Wearing shawls and keeping the temp at 68/69 in the spaces we ARE using. All lights off except minimal in the rooms being used. Have NG for everything except a bit of electricity.
Total bummer that I have had to think of it this year.
You do realize they are trying to kill us, right? Soon we will have nationwide euthanasia laws enacted just like Canada. If you can find a way to view Soylent Green I’d check it out. Soon you will only be able to take so many trips for so many miles per year. They have already started it in Oxford UK. Guess who’s next. It. Is. Time. Folks! I would welcome death as I have lost both my woketard daughters an my two grandchildren. Hope to move to SA and die broken hearted but in peace.
I indeed do, MR.
Guerrilla WF will be the only alternative.
If I am not mistaken, our original revolution started that way.
I really doubt that US citizens will abide. This is why US citizens are being prodded to take the shot and our replacements are not. If we do not stand up, then we all know the future.
The number of commenters on the earlier thread “Is Christmas Presents…” here who have told the same story would surprise you. That breaks my heart, MK. I am sorrier than you can possibly know. I prayed for them all this evening, as I will now pray that hearts may be softened in your family, and for His abiding peace for you. Blessings, my friend.
(and just so you know, you should always, always have women praying behind your back🌲💕)
As long as they aren’t standing in front of a abortion clinic!!
Ain’t it the truth….no lives matter anymore. But especially those who have last seen the Holy face of God. Those in particular.
I bet the Native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation are wondering about that now. 90% if not all of the homes have electic heat
They lost their electrictiy for several days in befow zero and blizzrd conditions. Its rumonerd they were even burning clothes to stay warm.
my thermostat’s been set at 64 since Wed night. Friday temp in house was 62. Warmer weather in forecast
This is why I closed off parts of the home. If you can close up a room’s intake vent and door, you can save money…and the areas will not freeze. They will just will remain about 10 to 15 degrees colder. You are just actively heating less space.
We had coal fires in Wales, and all through the often brutal winters there we were always warm as toast.
I’ve got 2 1\2 hours before Santa arrives.
I wonder if I can squeeze a whole year’s naughtiness in that amount of time so that he will deposit a few lumps of coal in my stocking…..
try hard, Betsy
😁🌲
If you want to be really naughty use wrong pronouns.
Ha!
I LOLd, as the kids say
I can do that one…what a genius suggestion.
I don’t understand DUH pronouns and don’t recognize their usage!
Foreign language to me, too. Just like the different generation names, which I still confuse.
Funny to see this. It’s cold here for the next couple nights, I have a shipping container that I put the farm cats in at night to protect them from coyotes. I sent one of my guys yesterday to get one of those oil-filled space heaters to warm it up a little bit for the next few nights. They’re pretty standard item, I’ve owned a bunch of them over the years, and they work great. Not anymore. The thing is worthless. It doesn’t produce heat in any appreciable amount. Think of how stupid that is. An energy efficient space heater. Electric transferred into heat is practically 100%. So instead they make the actual guts of the things so tiny that it doesn’t actually produce heat. I feel sorry for the people that are counting on those this winter. They’re in for a rude surprise. Hey treepers in a bind, some tips for emergency temp control. In case of a summer heat emergency, lay in a bathtub of water. You won’t get heat stroke. In a winter emergency, if you still have gas but no electric, or vice versa, set your oven at 150° and open the door.
If you have gas hot water, fill up a couple 2 liter plastic bottles and place them on your person and cover up with a blanket.
If you replace the water bottles with a couple of Brunettes, you don’t even need the gas water heater.
Blondes will work in a pinch…
From experience…
NO Conversations of Importance ARE REQUIRED – i HOPE
That’s thinking outside the box, Will.
Pardon the pun!
Will Baker wins the Internet for the day
I must admit, I am in awe of the talent of our peeps on this planet.
Now, let’s just SAVE it!!!!
Holy crap! LOLOLOL!!!! Are you two cousins?
Only if you don’t keep them 😂
The old fashioned rubber hot water bottles are still great for heating up the bed on a really cold night.
I have a heating pad for when my shoulders and back are bothering me. I started the turmeric every day and haven’t had an attack for over a year.
I put that pad under the blankets before I go to bed…nice.
Or get a sleeping bag. They make them that protect down to 0 degrees.
Make bed warmers fashionable again!
I don’t mean to lecture…but then again perhaps I do:
I have primary heat (heat pumps), secondary heat (propane direct vent fireplace insert), emergency heat (23000 BTU/hr kerosene heater). I have had these for more than 20 years. Because the system doesn’t care about your misfortune. And now the system intentionally inflicts misfortune on you, to bludgeon you into submission. This is just a taste of how far down “they” want to drive your standard of living. Third world.
No one is coming to save you.
Gas stoves the last 10 years will not let you run the oven only stove top, another .gov idea.
I bought a pot roast for tomorrow to keep the kitchen a bit warmer. However, it all seems to be a weird trade-off.
I will now say something pretty direct and anti-PETA…if you lose power and have any kind of fur coat or other…USE it.
The Cave Men knew. As did their women. LOL!!!!
my primary heat in northern Idaho is a wood stove. it was down to -22F outside yesterday. about 70F inside.
The most prescient thing SD said was that Trump’s presence in the WH was preventing all the DC swamp’s characteristic deals from getting done. I didn’t understand this in detail, but it certainly explained the anger towards PDJT. Since the installation of the WH occupant, we’ve seen these globalist and corporatist deals get done, and they are not good for America nor Americans. Well done as usual SD, and Merry Christmas Treepers!
AGREE 100%
I wouldn’t want to be Mitch when the bill comes due.
Mitch is 80, his time is due.
What bill? These asshats never pay any price. When they leave the Hill K Street is there to offer them a golden parachute. There never is a reckoning.
Mitch is at least a billionaire and Nan claims to be worth more than 200 million. No dirt under those fingernails either.
DC acts like Marie Antionette and Louis XVI never lived.
The DC Swampers are just like the Bourbons: They have learned nothing and have forgotten nothing.
Did the legislation dictate where the building had to be located? I have some suggestions…
They can put it where the Sun don’t shine.
Indeed.
One thing for sure, the anger directed at President Trump had nothing to do with “mean tweets.” It was always about the money that he cut off from China and the lobbyists.
And protecting the border.
Yep. President Trump cut off the endless, flowing food chain. This is why the panic.
Must keep the gardeners working.
one million times, yes! 👏🏼
I got an e-mail from Appalachian Power asking me to dial my electricity down. I heat with gas, so my electric use is always near minimal. I live in West Virginia, and I can look out my front door and see John Amos power plant. It just had two, maybe three boilers overhauled and is going full blast. But they’re threatening to shut down my minimal usage to provide it to someone in another state because the other state shut down their power plants. FUBAR!
good example of the perverse results stemming from perverse incentives
And the West Virginia Public Service Commission granted a surcharge to our electric bills to pay for the upgrade. But the Virginia and Kentucky public service commissions refused to add the upgrade surcharge their citizens. So, West Virginia Appalachian Electric customers are paying extra to upgrade power plants to supply electricity to other states.
Indeed. Kabuki theater.
But, but, but Gloobaaal Waaarmiing!
They had to change Global Warming to climate change because the data simply didn’t support “Global Warming”
Nashville, where many “celebs” have moved? How appropriate.
I hope the woke celebs freeze. Maybe that’ll shut their foul mouths.
Heat is a luxury celebs can well afford in their log cabins in Knoxville.
I’m sure they all use propane.
Rolling blackouts? Turning the country into California … .
Maybe Texas was a beta test a few years back
Texas had to ask pretty please, could they increase the use of more dirty, filthy “fossil” fuels. They petitioned the Department of Energy for a special dispensation through Christmas morning.
Apparently there has been a plan to fix what killed 200 two years ago. And so far no action has been taken on said plan.
This is what we’ve come to in a state that always bragged about having its own grid.
https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/2022/12/24/after-underestimating-power-demand-texas-electric-grid-operator-gets-federal-permission-to-exceed-air-quality-limits/
and since when did Texas have to ask permission from anybody to provide energy to its own people..
and under whose State Administration was this change allowed to occur..
I can’t answer that question, Texian…but it made me madder than a wet hen. I really was seeing red…still am.
It’s not a terribly good site, but I keep Texas Scoreboard on my favourites just to get the bare bones of what is happening in Austin.
And Abbott? The only quality he has that supports his governorship is that he is not O’Rourke.
Bet, I think you and Mr Jones should buy some property out here in the middle of redneck nowhere Florida to protest Governor HotWheels.
How delightful does that sound my friend. If I could persuade my whole crew to come with us…very tempting…we’d feel right at home.
Merry Christmas, CR😘🌲
Turning?
refection
ewww – I thought that was a typo and then I googled refection – ewww!
That’s DISGUSTING! 🙁 Practical prepping tips are helpful; something like that is NOT! 🙁
I believe the end goal is to nationalize the grid and generating plants. With smart meters in place, it becomes yet another totalitarian control point over our lives.
Used to be I got a power bill at the end of the month for the sole purpose of paying my bill . Now the power company monitors power consumption down to the sub-second. I am inundated with emails, alerts and warnings – telling me my daily usage, mapping it against my neighbors, tracking my history usage and telling me about “incentives” if I buy more efficient equipment. A lot of money equipment, software, and services that increase our bills but add nothing to power reliability. Who’s it going to in Big Tech?
Real time monitoring of energy consumption down to the second has only one end game in mind. I tried to opt out and get a meter that only sends data once a month – impossible I was told. You will comply.
My power company now “rounds up” everyone’s bill and gives the money to “charities” of their choice.
They run TV commercials and send glossy full color magazines that no one reads. We have no choice in our power provider so why all the “PR”? Just funneling our money to State propaganda outlets.
Also, when and how did Duke Power go from a small NC utility to controlling the power in 7 states?
Never let a good crisis go to waste. Create one if necessary.
Sense Raises $105M to Bring Real-time Home Energy Data to the Masses
5/2022
Can household energy use be sensed down to the individual plug load? Yes, says this startup, which is embedding its tech in smart meters and electrical panels.
—-
Sense, the energy-disaggregation startup that raised $105 million last week, got its start selling what CEO Mike Phillips calls its “fancy energy monitor.” That’s a $299 device that can distinguish how much energy is being used by air conditioners, pool pumps, refrigerators and other electric loads from a single point of connection to a home’s electric circuits.
But Phillips wants Sense’s energy-sensing technology to come embedded in smart meters and electrical panels that can communicate with a range of household electric appliances. Giving individuals detailed information about their energy use could make it easier for them to decarbonize their homes by switching to efficient systems like electric heating and electric-vehicle charging.

I think this is as disturbing as anything I seen.
And it is being done now in New Zealand with their cattle and dairy cows.
We can say no to the genocidal powers who want us all injected. But we all have to eat. It seems this is their plan B to get the abhorrent poison into is all.
And for those in DC who know jolly well the vaxxxxxes are deadly and therefore haven’t taken one, I’ll be very curious to know how they think they’ll avoid the fate they’ve mandated for everyone else if this monstrous plan actually succeeds
This is a nightmare from which we will never be able to wake up.
You know those huge farmland areas being bought up by Gates and others?
They are going to be source of meat that you will not be able to buy, but will supply the connected.
Yes…I do know it, and have known about it for a long time. When satan takes a soul, he doesn’t do it by halves.
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”
-Henry Kissinger
But who controls Kissinger?
Yes, dealing with rolling blackouts here today, it’s totally incredible to see the responses from neighbors in the ring app. So many are so completely brainwashed into believing that they, the customer of the power company are the problem. That the power companies dole out power by their goodwill and determine who gets power and when. They’re completely satisfied with the situation. God help us all when communism fully takes root here. There will be no resistance.
This was the easy route to communism. Control the mind through conditioning and brainwashing (TV, entertainment, academia) and the usual brutality is not even necessary.
..and pump in money – lots of printed money to sweeten collectivism. Debt and its taxes will forge the chains of the American worker.
Ht77….Did you read Matt Tiabbi on Twitter dump today, because you have your finger on it. The government is in all the tech companies, media and social media, right down to Pinterest and LinkedIn. Fib and Cia, State Dept, sheriffs all have back doors into Twitter and the others. It’s incredible. Mind control of everyone is in full force. And watch…they are after Musk hard for showing us what has been happening.
No I did not. Yahoo is the most read “news” site in the world and I have no doubt the government is heavily involved with them but so far no one has mentioned it.
I live in Southern Indiana. Have Duke as my electric company and Center Point as my gas company. So far so good. Bills are high but no rolling black outs or asking for reduce usage.
None here in Central Indiana either. But their coming if they continue to cut down on the availability of fossil fuels.
I’m in northwest Indiana. No issue here either. (Yet.)
A present for you JSBachlover….Merry Christmas!!
The Solar Panels and the Wind Turbines for NIPSCO COULD NOT Have worked for the Past 3 Days because of WIND SPEED ( Excessive ) and the Cloud Coverage.
I Have to find a website to Monitor that output.

They are not fossil fuels.
Where did all the hydrocarbons on Titan come from?
Naturally they chose the absolute coldest days of the year to request this rolling black out crap. I hope biden’s alzheimer’s is such that he is in the wandering stage. They like to take all their clothes off and wander….sometimes outside.
Dixie — you have no idea how funny that was.
….sometimes outside…….
😎
My grandmother did it constantly, my grandparents live in a mobile home park & had been married for over 50 yrs. As it got worse, she couldn’t remember him at all, would strip naked & go out outside screaming she didn’t know who the strange ma inside was… Eventually she ended up in a care center since she started to get violent (which they can do) & eventually “she” was gone & her wandering days were over. She just laid there staring at the ceiling. Not a pretty progression.
Biden outside could announce “it’s quarter inch cold outside”!
Baby…
If some intelligent people were so inclined, cutting power to DC & Martha’s Vinyard would be AWESOME!
well then I hope obama forgot his key and gets locked outside. I bet it’s really a cutting cold wind on the ocean.
He’s in Hawaii playing golf in a pink shirt.
Obama has 2500 gal propane tank on his property. He’ll be fine in case anyone asks.
I actually read a man’s obituary that told a similar story about how he died.
All those eastern states run by liberals have nothing to worry about. Wind and Solar to the rescue.
Hot air.
Just got my email from them, then a survey wanting to know if they are doing a good job,,,,ayfkm?
Maybe they’re looking for a participation trophy?
The Church of Global Warming says the earth is dangerously heating up, but I know that it is not, for I have seen the snow and ice and have felt their bitter cold, and I have more faith in snow and ice than in the Church of Global Warming, it’s High Priests, Control Freaks and Money Grubbers.
Death Cult of Global Warming
Who are you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?
And who is pressuring TVA to do this? rhetorical comment, the answer is obvious.
You just reminded me that the head of the TVA was the one that President Trump always used to talk about. They make at least 3x more than even the President.
“The Tennessee Valley Authority conducts a unified program of resource development for the advancement of economic growth in the Tennessee Valley region. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a wholly owned Government corporation created by act of May 18, 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831-831dd).“
TVA still has a bunch of coal and hydro plants as well as nuclear reactors. They have played around with wind and solar but it is still mostly demonstration projects. Here in the southeast we had a very dry fall. Rivers did not have enough water for barge traffic and lakes were low. There is likely considerable pressure on the coal and nuclear to make up ground for the low water levels. I know TVA is government, but they have been smart enough to have a range of different supplies so that when one falters the other picks up. Our current weather is highly unusual, but it will not last long. It is 8 degrees F today. Supposed to be back in the 50’s before New Years Day.
Once again, this is a perfect reason to stay the hell away from e-chariot. Venezuela blackouts trace back to central planning regulators,
Woke up this morning to a power outage in Alabama. House temperature was down to 61. As we had temperature’s as low as 2 degrees the day before, my first thought was an issue related to the freezing temperatures. Looked online and found information on the TVA ‘planned’ rolling blackouts beginning 12/24. Nice.
Having lived in Alabama for 14 years, we’ve never had rolling blackouts BUT we have had these low temperatures. What’s different now? We citizens; taxpayers, utility payers, are being squashed down to size by our betters. Climate change is the means to their ends.
Power turned on for about 2 hours then shut down a second time for a half hour. Conveniently the lines to report the power outages were down and customer service was unavailable.
They don’t care and they are not playing.
As a kid, I lived in Wisconsin. We had moved in the summer to a farmhouse, nothing but cornfields around. That winter was brutally cold. I shared a room with two of my sisters. My sister had a glass of water on her nightstand at night, and when we woke up the next morning it was frozen solid…no insulation was in the walls upstairs. My mother would stay up at night to feed the Franklin stove so my younger sisters and brother had heat. 3 blankets, 3 layers of clothes and socks, sleeping under the covers completely head to toe.
Purposely throttling back electricity, with no reason to do so, is a crime against humanity..too bad you old people, whose bones are becoming brittle, that the coldness cuts into you like a knife. Too bad you babes, whose bodies do not regulate heat correctly yet and you can’t pull your covers up around you.
There’s a reckoning coming.
I pray that reckoning resembles the French Reign of Terror and that hundreds of thousands of leftists, Ruling Class elites, enviro-Nazis, Democrats and racists get their reckoning.
I’m afraid that the elite and government rulers will always be the last to suffer the consequences of their authoritarian rule.
Us under class dont get paid until the ruling class get their skim off the top. And after we are bled dry by taxes the elites can find ways to print, launder and funnel money (al la Ukraine) for their continued luxuriating.
I dont see a way to sever the bonds of forced servitude/slavery. I dont want to pay for their omnibus and wars!! I’m ready!
What line is there left for them to cross that would trigger a reckoning? The elitists/govt have made clear that voting is inconsequential, rallying forces can be surpressed, and protests are severely punished and fruitless.
What kind of uprising would work with all the powers at the disposal of the fbi, doj, Intelligence, judiciary, media, over education, medicine, social media/internet, and now energy power grids.
It sounds like only dangerous options are left to try and I havent heard enough specifics of them to understand how they could be seccessful.
Praying for direction, praying for a Leader.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. My soul’s ready…there’s not so much.
On a terra firma front, we outnumber them a million to one. Are “they” really ready to surrender their offspring to the NWO? I think not. They were hoping to get by with barely pushing the envelope to get us to heel. Instead, “they” are waking more people up. The awakening is snowballing, whether it’s CRT, electricity, elections, home prices, food, the in-your-face persecution of DJT, the masks and clot shot mandates, the EV’s, the sexualization of our children, the equity, the ESG bullshit….every aspect, or any one aspect, in a person’s life is awakening them to take a look at what’s going on. People are becoming more vocal and calling “they” out for enabling and/or participating in the atrocities against their fellow citizens.
So I say again…there is a reckoning coming!
“There is a reckoning coming.” Oh, oh yes there is. And it will be glorious. May G_d arise, and His enemies be scattered.
Power outage Central Florida. Duke says maybe out until 2:30 am.
Family had outage in Louisville, KY for a half day yesterday.
Rolling rolling rolling. Blackouts are all the rage!
They want us all dead and I think they are making progress. But I don’t think it is Duke Energy. I think it is the PTB making demands on the energy companies to make us suffer. FJB.
I agree.
you got the power to prepare. wood stove, portable propane heaters with lots of propane tanks, generator. there’s no excuse for not being prepared unless you are always flat broke.
I’d much rather take the country back, put the Green communists in prison or worse, and live free and comfortable.
And it is only going to get worse as they continue to put in “renewables” and cut the supply of fossil fuels.
Most valuable type of linemen in American
God Bless Our American Linemen working out in the cold to help other Americans.
We just lived through an ice and snow storm last week in northern Wisconsin and Duluth, MN and the north shore of Lake Superior. 75% of my county was out of power and I say God Bless the snowplow drivers and the electric company crews who worked round the clock to restore power. These are the unsung heroes of America. The brood of vipers in the District of Communism are nobody’s heroes.
Thank You— Brought back some beautiful memories. of meeting him and seeing his concert in 2002.

I wonder how many old and chronically ill people are going to die this winter. Never mind the hmeles in NYC and Chicago. Thats on BIDEN and his communist handlers.
Cold anger.
So we don’t have the energy necessary to keep us warm because of policies created based on the idea that the extreme cold temperatures we are now suffering are a thing of the past and no longer a threat to people who live in areas that still actually do get cold. People living in Florida and Arizona are fine so you should be too.
low temp in Tallahassee FL today was 27F

And to think, winter is just beginning. Thank goodness for gorebull warming.
Yep, 3 days into winter and the wheels are coming off.
Frankly, I’m surprised at the number of posters here who complain about receiving emails/texts from their utility company/local gov’t/political campaigns etc.
Why do you hand out your email address/phone number to any of these people anytime they ask?
You’re not in the third grade anymore where the teacher says “You must fill out the form completely with no spaces left blank”.
When I go to a new doctor and they want me to fill out information that is not relevant to the visit, I leave it blank and if they push me, I tell them they’re not getting it.
Just about every store I go to tries to get my phone number. Tough.
When I pay my property taxes (in person) every year they demand my email and phone and every year I tell them it’s none of their business. Same goes with car registration.
The school system trains us to be obedient little sheep who do what we’re told and comply with every demand of the gov’t and business but it’s OUR obligation to break ourselves of that and do what’s in our own best interest.
Agreed. It is shocking the number of entities who ask for a cell phone or email nowadays. I can see younger people whose smart phone is their life would have no problem with this, but I don’t care to hand out any information like that.
I don’t care to receive spam phone calls/emails/mail because some business that just had to have my information sold it.
I don’t care to receive their daily updates on whatever BS their company is doing.
Even my bank is doing this now, regardless of opting out on their web page.
For all those places that want a cell number and email address I make up a cell number and use an old email address from 10 years ago through a different provider. Get very few spam emails or cell calls
I like many people have dozens of email addresses that can be blocked, forwarded or cancelled as needed. Tying any or all of them to me is of little concern.
It is not the email nor the volume of it that is the problem – it is the intent and designs behind the content. Today it is an annoying email or text message that you ran your AC too much for the given weather conditions. Tomorrow it will be a shut off notice or a flagged carbon emissions penalty added to your bill.
When the day comes that the power company computer can decide when and how long you can run your water heater, pool pump, dishwasher or oven, and, assign variable rates, you’ll be checking those emails and text messages like Pavlov’s dog
wait until you get your Census questionnaire……..hahahahaha about 40+ pages. I gave up after they wanted a stool sample too.
that’s funny, off , I’m stealing that
I hope you sent it back…
Census…we have not participated in 3 cycles. One year the goat actually jumped into the census lady’s Prius. It was an absolute hoot.. we threw sand before it was fashionable.
I have a back up phone. It was cheapest there and I only pay 20.00 month connection charge. I never use it. 99.9% time it is turned off.
I give that number to businesses that ask.
I also have “back up” email account. Same thing…haven’t checked it in years…
You are so right…people have been conditioned so they just fill in all the blanks…
The active/registered number lists are sold by the cell companies in blocks to lots of different companies and govt.
They are not private and you have no say in it.
After Iceageaden last year I bought a kerosene heater because the fire place wasn’t cutting it for extended days w/out power. It heats the house better than the heat pump. Last year it was $4 a gallon for kerosene, and it is now over $6, almost $7. Every which way they are going to get you.
get a wood stove insert.
Regulated Utilities vs Deregulated Utilities.
https://www.publicpower.org/system/files/documents/2022%20Retail%20Electric%20Rates%20In%20Regulated%20Utilities%20Report.pdf
Deregulated power costs are about 6% higher than Regulated Public Utilities .
10 hours w/out power today..
Courtesy of Duke energy..
Whom about Rolling Black outs today..
Duke has already been called out 5 times on this page. I remember when Duke was just a small utility in NC. Now it a growing monopoly that controls the power and gas in 7 states.
DUKE ENERGY – Our History
“Honoring our past as we transform the future”
https://www.duke-energy.com/our-company/about-us/our-history
Weasel word…we all know what that means.
Though how one can transform a future nobody can anticipate or know is beyond me.
It appears the clot shots didn’t kill enough people in the world to satisfy the Globalists agenda. And when people have to choose between eating or heating… more will surely die. Sad reality.
That’s true. I saw some information recently saying that death from the cold is a similar concept to death from smoking. There’s a clear link, but it’s not identified by a specific cigarette or a specific cold day – but the relationship is clear. So, taking away heating can be seen as some kind of murder.
“Globalists agenda”
“For example, I believe it is quite likely the vaccines were designed to reduce the population.
“This is because:
— There has been a fixation for centuries in the Western leadership of their sacred duty to control the population, and there are many examples of that leadership engaging in highly unethical population control operations (documented here).
— Governments around the Western world cannot fund the retirements (e.g. pensions or social security) and medical care of the elderly they are committed to funding.
What Can We Learn From “Cause Unknown?”
They are killing or disabling plenty and the numbers are growing. It is almost a certain thing that severe adverse reactions will become the #1 health care concern soon.
Regulated Utilities had a singular obligation to provide power at the lowest cost to ratepayers for a fixed return on investment
DeRegulated Utilities have an obligation to maximize profits, minimize investment, minimize costs, etc. The real money is in Transmission. Get paid for “allowing” others to ship electricity over wires paid for by past ratepayers. Generation and distribution are the “red headed step children” of deregulated utilities. Those are Cost Centers, not Profit Centers.
I’m in N Georgia and our power is controlled by the TVA (one of the agencies which was armed by jugears btw). We had two 30+/- minute blackouts during the night (ergo no heat) and when I woke up, the temperature was 55 degrees. I had to go to my daughter’s house to take a shower. Christmas blessings to Sundance and all here.
How will Al Gore face the heating crisis?
He’ll sell a couple carbon offsets and use the profits to have a winter’s worth of home heating oil delivered
… and gas up his private jet for a stay in the Caribbean
Well, here’s to hoping my power company (which is not listed here, but I live on this map) is not a part of PJM Interconnection. What a mountain of horse apples.
https://www.pjm.com/-/media/about-pjm/pjm-zones.ashx
Who wants to bet the upscale subdivisions of DC won’t experience a power outage?
The Insider article discussed the TVA’s request for customers to reduce power usage (ex: no dishwashers), and the possibility of rolling blackouts.
The TVA’s attempts to use less power aren’t because of wokeism. They’re
1) because of increased demand for power because of the cold, and
2) because the TVA has lost some ability to generate power, because of “the extreme cold and high winds” from the storm.
The TVA is trying to protect its ability to deliver power to its customers.
https://www.insider.com/arctic-air-blizzards-sub-zero-temperatures-us-before-christmas-weather-2022-12 says some places’ temperatures will drop to -30 F, and wind gusts will be up to 60 mph.
2) because the TVA has lost some ability to generate power, because of “the extreme cold and high winds” from the storm.
——————————
BS. Cold and winds happen outside the buildings that generate electricity, not inside the buildings. Therefore, cold and winds do not inhibit the production of electricity. If winds knock wires down, then winds have prevented distribution of electricity. But not production of same.
Ok, thank you for the correction.
If it was truly not “because of wokeism,” then they would demand that government buildings, sports stadiums, and empty buildings turn off their lights first instead of passing that burden on to residential customers trying to celebrate Christmas. They want you to go without using electricity on Christmas while the empty banks and post offices are lit up like it’s Monday business hours.
Why did they not have this problem last year?
We are in Georgia. No electricity in our new development.My wife and I have left our home for Christmas. Gdhas blessed us with the ability of staying with family elsewhere tonight.
The issue was created by Georgia Power failing to outfit our neighborhood with adequate transformers to handle the weather. These temperatures are unusual. But not unheard of. No excuse.
That there are people that want us to rely solely on electricity to meet our energy needs is just stupid.
imagine if your car was also electric? (as they all will be in the near future)
How would you get about?
How would you leave for somewhere else?
We have pretty much guaranteed that we’ll never lose power again. After big snow storm last Jan 2 and we lost power for 4 days and lost power after a storm in July for 2 days, I gave in to hubby’s pleading for a generator.
he must have pleaded nicely, because you didn’t say “whining”
But rest assured, Comrades, that the power is still on at Speaker Pelosi’s. mansion. No rolling blackout will threaten her precious stock of ice cream!!!!!
Let the Hunger Games commence!!!!
Those who make the rules have nothing to fear about keeping warm.
Looks pretty comfortable in that control room. Short sleeve shirts and people gazing at computers. Wonder if it’s 65 degrees in there?
That’s actually a nuclear-plant control room
I stays toasty from excess gamma radiation seeping thru the concrete
“IT stays …”
Perfection.
Speaking of which, the Japanese have made the decision to rely on nucs reversing and early decision to phase out the plants, despite what happened at Fukushima. I think it is a good decision even though the entire nation lies on the Ring of Fire. They just have to be judicious in where they locate the plants and the backups. Had the back up electricity source for running the pumps at the Fukushima plant not been in the basement where it was flooded, there would have been a far less serious situation.
Japan Embraces Nuclear Power, Cancels Phase Out Plans – Watts Up With That?
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capitol there is plenty of power to keep the ‘elites’ warm and lit.
Comrade Citizens….What can you do to help the fatherland? Stop fueling the fake narratives. At least.
If you believe there is a War in Ukraine, then Im afraid you are contributing to the main stream narratives which are being used as the lame excuse for all this. Please remember we do in fact have a Fake President and much fake BS flows from this.
The BBB Cabal appreciates the comradery leading to our own demise.
There is truth in that. How many politicians have gone into this ‘war zone’ wearing a suit. They don’t want you to believe your lieing eyes.
Mass Psychosis sees the obvious.
Ask yourself how likely is it that every politician and celebrity actor under the sun in the US and EU (who are all cowards and surround themselves with security everywhere they go) would travel to a war zone where aircraft are shot down, SAMs are plentiful and infrastructure is supposedly bombed with hypersonic missiles?
Do a photo opportunity, wander about for a bit and then the next one turns up. And they do this over and over. When has that ever happened before?
Apply some thought to the mechanics as to what is being shown to you.
Demand they shut the lights off the White House in solidarity with Americans being asked to reduce electrical usage.
I’ve got plastic, sheets and towels covering my doors & windows here in northwestern Illinois.
Cspan 2 airing a talk by Harry Laver about Washington crossing the frozen Delaware River in a Durham boat on Christmas Eve. Just started 10 min ago
You ought to observe the re-enactment of the crossing every Christmas at the Washington Crossing State Parks (PA & NJ). The presentation is about 3 hours long.
Why can’t we shut them down?
Because America the land of the free became the land of the fearful.
I thought sheep had thick wool coverings.
Maybe they don’t know…
we are doomed.
Liberal City Enacts Anti-Pollution Order – You Can No Longer Burn a Wood Fire to Stay Warm
Oh, and of course there are fines. The government will fine homeowners $100 for the first “offense” and $500 for a second. The fines only go up from there.
There is also a hotline you can call to narc on your neighbors because no government restriction is complete without a way to coerce people to act as Karen enforcers for the government.
