Experts warn that the rush to green energy has made the United States "incredibly" vulnerable to summer power outages.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles.

Risk of power outages this summer in all parts of the United States as they seek to convert traditional power sources torenewable energy sourceswhile taking them offline. there is.

"I think the whole country is very vulnerable because the whole country is facing a huge energy shortage and I don't think there is a really safe place," said Daniel, founder and executive director.・ Turner states. Power the Future told Fox News. 

The problem is this summer as grid operators struggle to keep up with rising demand. It is a power outage that may spread nationwide. It's been a state for years, but now it can threaten most of the country.

Turner said this year there is an increasing threat to some states, especially those that are politically promoting the switch to so-called "green energy" sources.

Reliance on renewable energy could lead to rolling blackouts in Michigan this summer

"I'm the most The regions of the country of concern are: "There are already inherent weaknesses." "Texas, California, New Mexico, New York, New England are all areas where policy and political decisions have undermined the power grid."

Many states include coal and natural gas. The plant that produces traditional energy sources in New York has been quickly taken offline and switched to renewable energy sources that are currently incapable of sustaining, which could lead to an outage. Responding to the hot summerdemand

Part of the problem with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar is the reliance on variables that humans cannot control. Sufficient wind or sunlight to continuously generate electricity. Batteries that help store surplus energy for later use are under development, but this technology is currently expensive and has not been fully developed.

This can force grid operators to make difficult decisions to maintain the integrity of the entire power grid when demand recovers, but Turner is completely migrating to renewable energy. Claims to be a mistake.

The Midwest, though particularly vulnerable this summer, has been less susceptible to rolling blackouts and voltage drops that have plagued the West for decades.

Illinois regulators have warned of possible controlled outages this summer. A power company sent a warning letter to a customer during a potential heat wave.

"Recent power generation capacity auctions have revealed that the Midwest may fall below the capacity required to meet peak summer loads under certain conditions." , The Electric Cooperative in Southeastern Illinoisstates in letter. If this happens, your co-operative will be instructed to cut off some of the load to prevent grid failure.

Critics condemned the potential lack of pledge that Illinois Governor Jay Pritzker will move the state to100% renewable energy by 2045

"Looking at countries around the world, or states in the United States, government actions are pushing for mandatory green energy, but no country has been successful," Turner said. Insisted. "And you can measure it at multiple levels of success in terms of what they actually claimed, or what they claimed to produce, in terms of power, reliability, and cost. From the point of view of actual construction or cost to consumers. "

Michigan grid operatoris also preparing for the possibility of a power outage this summer and is mid-continuous independent. According to the system operator's seasonal assessment, "There are capacity shortages in both the northern and central parts of MISO ... the risk of temporary controlled outages in these areas to maintain the integrity of the bulk electrical system. Will continue to grow, "MISO executive director JT Smith told NPR last month.

Michigan is one of the states that is driving the switch to renewable energy sources while at the same time taking traditional plants offline, Michigan Public Services Commissioner. The Society is currently considering taking two more plants offline in the near future.

"Michigan is on the same route as before, New Mexico is gone, California is gone," Turner said.

State power The company calls for action and uses social media to urge customers to require the state to keep their power plants online.

"We need your help to maintain Michigan lighting after this summer," Dallas Brown, general manager of the Sam Electric Cooperative, said on Facebook on Monday. .. "Today, the reliability of electricity is at stake and demand is expected to grow. Michigan regulators this week are considering closing more power plants in Michigan. Please tell us that reliability is important and that these power plants should not be closed prematurely. "

Fox News, Director of the Energy, Environment, and Agricultural Task Force of the Associated Press Last month, policymakers should be more aware of the impact of their decisions on their members.

“Our leaders need to be truly aware of the daily implications,” says Trotter. "It's great to see the future, but now it's having a big impact on their members."

On the other hand, Turner says that power outages can affect poor people and minority neighbors. Claimed to be the highest.

"They will choose which area goes into the dark," Turner said. "Historically, when we did this, we chose a poor, and usually minority neighborhood to do it."

Previously planned in states such as California. Power outages have a history of disproportionately affecting poor areas. For example, there is one case of an eight-daypower outage in a poor, mostly Hispanic area of ​​Sonoma County {127 in October} a deliberate outage puts residents in that area in the dark for days. Not only did they fall, but the resulting food spoilage has already put pressure on tight budgets.

"Even if the electricity doesn't arrive ... the invoice arrives," said one resident at the time.

"See who they are. Have you ever seen Kardashian complain about power shortages and Silicon Valley ... Facebook headquarters? They're all okay ... rushing into the dark. Not, "Turner said.

Turner points out that there are trade-offs when policy makers decide to switch to renewable energy sources, saying that one such trade-off is increasing people's suffering. Insisted.

"See which regions are off," he continued. "See what's happening in the neighborhood of California, New Mexico, and New York where the grid is off. That's what our politicians think about their members, and the Green Agenda is ours. It will tell you how it will affect the country. ”

But the renewable energy sources that some claim it are not a problem. Instead, it points to climate change heat waves that stress the grid beyond its limits, regardless of the energy source used.

"Climate change is spurring extreme heat, droughts, wildfires and hurricanes, which are straining America's outdated power network."Climate Nexus , In an analysisearlier this month, citing North America. The Electric Reliability Corporation reports that "extreme temperatures, ongoing droughts, and supply chain problems can strain the power grids of vast regions across the country." The

analysis pointed out that there is a "record rate of increase in climate events." He argued that this contributed to both climate change and the stress it puts on the grid.

"Fossil fuels are the root cause and exacerbate the impact of these power outage events," the analysis said.“Oil, gas and coal mining and burning are major drivers of climate change, but outdated fossil infrastructure with wild market volatility has made these fuel sources expensive and unreliable. 

However, Turner argues that when the grid switches between wind and solar, there is little reward for the environment.

"The idea that they baptized themselves as green is a joke," Turner said. "They use more fossil fuels for production, installation, and wind and solar redundancy than burning fossil fuels directly to produce electricity. Therefore, the idea that they are green is It's purely a lie. "

" When we look at this, look at all the data, and prove that it's nothing but a failure, politicians still promote renewable energy. I'm surprised to succumb to hell to do, "he added.

Turned said the United States was already the cleanest country in the world before the transition to renewable energy sources.

"We are all clean air, clean water and clean earth. Nothing is better than the United States. We are the cleanest country on the planet," Turner said, switching from a reliable energy source to "neighborhood." The whole darkness. "

He points out other examples of countries ahead of the United States in switching to wind and solar, such as Germany,, the people there. Claimed not yet benefiting from the transition.

"Germany pays the highest electricity prices to developed countries ... they are almost the same as we pay for electricity. I'm paying five times as much, "Turner said. 

With the move to renewable energy, Germany relied on Russia's natural gas to fill the gap in its capacity and began to bring some coal-fired power plants back online. They have also relied on purchasing energy from neighboring France, which produces more than 80% of its electricity from nuclear power.

Turner says nuclear could be a solution in the United States I believe it is possible, but he states that the move to more nuclear energy will receive a lot of backlash.

"Nuclear is by far one of the most powerful solutions. Nuclear is a viable solution with the smallest footprint," Turner said. "The biggest problem nuclear has with it is that it has a very aggressive and very effective horror campaign."

Turner says he will switch the country to wind and solar. In light of Push'sPresident Biden's update, he held the Biden administration a lot of responsibility for the current situation.

However, energy prices are currently skyrocketing as his family has already dealt with decades of high inflation, and there is little hope for bailouts in the near future.

This is America's greatest threat to energy

"Natural gas is probably trading at more than three times its original value. "Masu," said Turner. "There is a large shortage of natural gas and the price is insane. Coal is probably four times as much as it should be, all as a result of Biden's energy policy."

Renewable The surge in energy conversion is not limited to the democratic government, andRepublican-run Texashas a problem of outages to wind power. In the transition.

Last winter storm caused widespread outages across Texas But many windmills couldn't be turned off intentionally, so they didn't freeze. The problem was exacerbated by the state's lack of proper backup from natural gas plants to keep electricity on in many communities.

"It's bipartisan stupidity," Turner said. "It was the Republican Governor of Texas who pushed the renewable energy obligations over the years. If that could happen in Texas, we are destined to be a nation."

"There was no backup. Reason. Republican Governor To this lie that all you need is the wind because you bought it, "Turner said.

Texas's power outage vulnerabilities have already begun to emerge this year, and as demand surges, the state needs to immerse itself in electricity reservesalready this month. 

Texas grid operators claim they have spare resources to power the state over the coming summer months, Texas Oil&Gas Association Todd Staples said the state "has surplus capacity. If the plant is online and renewable energy can put power into the grid."

But Turner is skeptical and policymaker. Insists that it should begin to oppose the "green agenda."

"It takes a great deal of political courage to say,'This is all nonsense,'" he said. "These are failed techniques, very expensive techniques, made with Chinese slave camping techniques. They are not eco-friendly. That is the biggest lie.

"Why is my question to the Byden administration and other governors? You keep going this way."
