Federal regulators also seek to quell local opposition to the eyesore wind farm, forcing utilities to increase unreliable electricity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Environmental Protection Agency is scrambling to enact the administration\u2019s climate agenda,\u201d Lee notes. \u201cRules and regulations currently being written could take local opposition out of the equation, giving state officials cover in overruling obstructive local wind-farm restrictions. Davos attendees may like this, but some Hoosiers won\u2019t be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pattern happening across the United States. In early 2022, New York\u2019s power grid operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/americas-power-grid-is-increasingly-unreliable-11645196772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">predicted <\/a>Increasing blackouts due to environmentalist regulations cutting supply and the state closing down power plants. The North American Electric Reliability Corp. warns that the West will experience the same things as the Midwest. In fall 2022, New England\u2019s power grid operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/new-england-is-facing-blackouts-this-winter-grid-operator_4801156.htmlD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Customers were advised to prepare for blackouts<\/a> If cold weather becomes severe due to natural gas shortages<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA number of states have enacted mandates to eliminate carbon emissions from the grid in the coming decades, and the Biden administration has set a goal to do so by 2035,\u201d The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/americas-power-grid-is-increasingly-unreliable-11645196772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Noted <\/a>Last year (h\/t Aaron Renn). The Journal provided numerous horrifying examples, including this one, of the political decision to lower U.S. energy affordability.<\/p>\n<p>Midcontinent Independent System Operator, also known as MISO, oversees large regional grids that stretch from Louisiana to Manitoba, Canada. As a result economic pressures and efforts by utilities to move more quickly towards renewables to address climate changes, the coal- and natural gas-fired power plants that provide more than 13 gigawatts each are expected close by 2024. In the meantime, 8 gigawatts are being developed in the region for replacement supplies. MISO could experience a shortfall in capacity if more is not done to close this gap, NERC stated. MISO stated that it was aware of the potential discrepancy and declined to comment on its causes.<\/p>\n<p>The United States follows Europe and California&#8217;s lead in adopting disastrous energy policies. This leads to frequent blackouts and brownouts that cause people to cut down trees to keep warm during cold winters. People die regularly when the power goes off, especially the elderly, young and sick. Reliable power is vital for hospitals, nursing homes, emergency services, and other facilities. <\/p>\n<p>Atop all these reasons to eschew wind farms, Lee notes another top concern of locals forced yet again to absorb the high costs of rich people\u2019s fantasies: Wind farms are not only <a href=\"https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/wind-farms-cause-more-environmental-impact-than-previously-thought\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noisy <\/a>and destructive to local habitats, they\u2019re ugly as sin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden administration climate envoy John Kerry may bask in fawning headlines, but Hoosiers won\u2019t be able to escape the sight of wind turbines or solar arrays as easily as he escapes Davos on a jet. These eye-sores will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People don&#8217;t like wind farms.
