This really got me laughing this morning. All these east coast liberals in a heatwave they blame on AGW run for the thermostat and crank up the AC thereby putting more C02 into the atmosphere and making things even hotter, well according to them anyway. Gotta love the irony and hypocricy here. "Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. is expected to be hit by a massive weekend heat wave, forcing energy companies to brace for maxed out grids and potential blackouts. It will also create a spike in carbon emissions, as the use of fossil fuels by people seeking to cool down expands." "A lot of Americans don't really have a deep understanding of the energy they are using and the fact that time of the day and peak energy is peak fossil fuel use. It's a double whammy in terms of climate," said Kiran Bhatraju, CEO of Arcadia Power. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-e...-pressure-on-fossil-fuel-reliant-electric?amp
It is worse than that. That same atmospheric condition that is causing the heat wave is also reducing the amount of power available from all those windmills because the wind speed has fallen off.
Right now the vast majority of our electric power is from fossil fuel.Also true that there are a considerable number of older homes in the northeast with no central air.
