 A new report by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which assesses the United States and Canada’s grid reliability, finds that much of the central and eastern U.S. could experience blackouts should a significant and lasting cold snap descend on the nation.

 “Electricity supplies are at risk from freezing temperatures that threaten reliable operation of BPS [bulk power systems] generators, fuel supply issues for natural-gas-fired generation, and wind and solar resource energy limitations,” the report warned. NERC has been warning for years that increased reliance on unreliable wind and solar threaten grid reliability, but the “2024-2025 Winter Reliability Assessment" explains that as coal resources diminish and the U.S. becomes more reliant on natural gas, pipeline infrastructure may not be adequate to ensure a secure supply to homes and generators.With the U.S. Energy Information Administration anticipating a colder winter this year, the problem is compounded, according to the report released Thursday.

Who will be responsible if thousands of people freeze to death due to poor grid management....?

Anyone who lives where they can't burn wood or liquified gas for warmth is playing Russian Roulette.

Was beginning to wonder if we are even going to have winter this year or rain either for that matter.

That’s why I push for my kids, grandkids, and friends to get a vent free heater 

In times of no power 

It  will keep your **** from freezing up

I wouldn't use one full time

But in a critical time it will keep your pipes from freezing up

We have needed it only a couple of times

Cracked a few windows to keep from depleting the oxygen

We were fine


 

Yeah the half with red states.
Remember what happened to Texas with the half man Abbott in charge.
Can't wait for extreme cold and the resulting republican deaths.
It will be a wonderful thing.
Another hurricane on the gulf coast right about now would be a Christmas miracle.

The fact instructions requiring an open window says it all...

early on I had one in my garage...the walls were wet with condensation...I took it to the steel recycling where it was shredded...
