Getting Ready For The Super Bowl -- January 31, 2019
Super Bowl: Continuing with the best of The Big Lebowski quotes:7. Jackie Treehorn Presents. The Dude. Maude Lebowsi. In Gutterballs.Cold. I talked about this the other day.
6. Strikes and gutters, ups and downs.
5. Dude, let's go bowling.
When I was growing up in Williston, ND, we did not have much money. But I never once heard my parents complain about the cost of electricity (to heat the house in the winter). We never experienced a black-out or loss of power in the winter due to too much demand. We never once worried whether we would have electricity. We were never, never, ever advised to turn our thermostats down to conserve energy. Williston, ND, up in the northwest corner of the state seldom got above zero degrees during the month of February. It was certainly as cold as anything the US is experiencing this week.That was back in the 1950's -- less than a decade after WWII. And now, 60+ years later with all that technology and a glut of natural gas in the US we are unable to meet power demands for a cold spell that will last less than 72 hours.
And yet, these two headlines (among many). From CBSLocal, Minneapolis, probably not excelling today:
From Bloomberg:
The three largest automakers in the U.S. suspended operations, or dialed them back, at several plants on the coldest day of the year after a fire at a natural gas facility in Southeast Michigan drastically reduced how much heating fuel the utility could supply.
CMS Energy Corp.’s Consumers Energy utility sends gas to about 4.1 million people in 45 counties in the region, including much of the auto manufacturing sector, according to its website.
The fire occurred in a facility that accounts for about 64 percent of the utility’s gas supply, and company officials were urging all customers -- residential, industrial and commercial -- to cut back on their use of the fuel.
When I was growing up in North Dakota, energy was available, dependable, dispatchable, and affordable.
We now have an energy source that is no longer dependable, dispatchable or affordable. So what happened?
Hillary: we'll put a lot of coal miners out of work.
And the sad thing: neither the politicians who legislated this nor the utilities who promoted this will be held accountable.
