Re: You've been assimilated by the Borg.

During confirmation hearing Biden's Energy Sec. nominee says that there are jobs that might be sacrificed as a result of Biden's fracking ban.

Another attack on the Borg.

The Borg has been infiltrated by the Chinese.

In an executive order that the President signed last week, he also suspended a Trump administrative — administration executive order that was particularly aimed at keeping foreign countries, specifically China, from interfering in the U.S. power grid. But he susp...

Re: How to know when the insurrection starts.

Per Darren: I talked to an operator at a coal fired power plant that had to make adjustments due to the variances in power output from a neighboring wind farm. It wasn't simple. Large power plants were never designed to throttle up and down. Generators turn at a constant 1800 rpm. If they couldn't ...

Re: How to know when the insurrection starts.

The video below is an explanation. In the past the grid had enough reserve capacity that control centers could add and shut down some plants as necessary, The 200+ MW unit GE installed for Virginia Power in the 90's at Chesterfield could be started and shut down as needed from Virginia Power's contr...

Re: How to know when the insurrection starts.

Another base load plant in the process of being shut down. Another blow to the grid. Politicians must think all they have to do is depend on electric utilities to provide the power no matter what. ENRON should have proved that was foolhardy. If you're in a state that deregulated you're screwed soon...

Re: He needs a good lawyer

You're a lawyer.

Unless you're an ambulance chaser or another lawyer that runs clients through assembly line style and always settles, you should be into case law.

Michael Mann sued and lost. Look him up. Dominion is headed down the same road.

Lawfare is all fun and games until you're backed into a corner like Michael Mann and screwed.

Re: How to know when the insurrection starts.

The plant you showed — Oyster Creek — DID shut down in 2018, one year ahead of schedule. It was originally licensed for forty years (1969 ~ 2009) and received a 20-year extension at that point.  One year later, in 2010, Exelon reported that Oyster Creek would close in 2019 — 10 years earlier than p...

Untraceable guns.

Have you heard about ghost guns? Those are guns made outside of factories w/o serial numbers. They're untraceable. I recently had an ad forwarded to me about the upcoming end of being able to buy poodle shooters based on Biden's statements. The DVD for a small price promised to show how to make your...

Re: Trump's Grand Finale....

I have to believe that after the onscreen horror Americans witnessed on January 6 , they will be mobilized even more than in ‘18 and ‘20 when they show up in ‘22 to push America further toward the future and away from the MAGA cult.

Re: You've been assimilated by the Borg.

If this is true, it's not good. Trump fired the head of the TVA for contracting to buy Chinese equipment. That order guaranteed over a years work for the GE Schenectady facility. That is the only place in the US that builds large steam turbines and generators. It would be a blow to have that facilit...

Oh look, Darren is telegraphing the intention of his cronies to take down (parts of) the electricity grid. Perhaps someone should be reporting him to the FBI for investigation.
