Another thing we apparently voted for.  Will only get worse as the Leftist/Democrats government pushes EVs more and more.

 

Energy Grid Changes Leave California And The Midwest Vulnerable To Blackouts

California and parts of the Midwest are at a high risk of electricity shortages in the coming years amid the transformation of their grid from one reliant on fossil fuels to one reliant on other sources of energy such as wind and solar.

 

The warning comes from the latest annual assessment of the grid by the North American Reliability Corporation, as cited by CNBC.

 

According to the assessment, the Midwest and Ontario in Canada risk power shortages because they are retiring more generation capacity than they are adding. At the same time, California’s problem is due to a “variable resource mix” and “demand variability,” Mark Olson, manager of reliability assessments at NERC, said.

 

California this week approved a roadmap for becoming carbon neutral until 2045. The plan relies heavily on reducing hydrocarbon consumption and expanding the state’s solar power generation capacity.
