First, with smart meters that allow the utility to charge higher rates at peak times (and on the other side, customers to use Smart Hours plans to lower their bill.) Second, at times of excessive demand, like with Winter Storm Uri in 2021, power companies will implement rolling blackouts. The German plan is akin to surgery while rolling blackouts are basically blunt force trauma.

Here is the thing: everyone wants to have cheap, unlimited power available 100% of the time. Guess what? You can't have all three. At best, you can only have two. And it seems that in the US we've leaned heavily on cheap. Efforts by utilities to add generation capacity is usually met with protestations regarding the increased rates that would result. I am sure no one will be surprised that the loudest crowd about utility rates are often the same folks that embrace smart meter conspiracies.
B.S. Germany, due to the fake global warming/climate crisis, green energy movement shuttered the majority of their Nuke plants. They had far more available power being spread across their country supplying people, without interruption, than what they do now so this B.S. about their grid being overwhelmed is just another fake B.S. story trying to get people, in the name of population control and the fake climate crisis, to stop living like they do.
The smart people, who can't afford their utility bills, among other things, will definitely rethink about having children or having as many children as their forefathers did. How people can't connect the dots and see that is beyond me?

Ever think about the real war going on in that area? I have real life friends in Moldova and they are and have had for a while now rolling blackouts because of it. The reduction of power is to not have to do that in Germany. But hey what does the real world problems have to do with fantasy land conspiracy theories?

For me that is the problem with your posts. Your links are extremely biased to promote an agenda that has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening the real world. It is like watching the History Channel and believing Ancient Aliens/Mountain Monsters are real documentaries.

The real war??? You mean the Proxy war your govt is currently engaged in with Russia, who has sent 100 BILLION, with a Capital "B" to Ukraine? That war, Ben?
Tell me Ben, without regurgitating the MSM talking points or spin, why your country has such a vested interest in Ukraine?
Tell me, why your at it, why your previous President to Trump was behind the coup that ousted Ukraine's previously voted in, via a legit election, President?

Here, because you likely think these Azov Nazi's don't exist and that our govt's haven't been supporting them, I'll do you a favor.

Do you ever do any critical thinking with regards to the Dems and media going hard against Trump and wondering why that was and still currently is? Do you think maybe, just maybe, he was a major threat to getting in their way or exsposing this grift?

See, when Dr. Fauci created the "fake climate crisis" with the help of MSNBC, he didn't realize that a brilliant baseball card collector sleuth would see right through it! 🤣

The con artists who have you hiding under your bed from the “Climate Crisis” are laughing their asses off while they are consuming massive amounts of those evil fossil fuels flying all over the world on private jets, kicking back on mega yachts, and building brand new oceanfront mansions without a solar panel or a windmill in sight.

Exactly. Al Gore was the poster child for this. He made a ton of money with his "carbon credits" scheme. He cared so much about the planet..... but not enough to give up his mansion with heated indoor pool, private jet, and etc.

Since we all agree that climate has always been changing, what should worry us if climate suddenly stopped changing. THAT would be incredibly unusual.

Just thought I'd add something. Ben won't like it because he likely never thought or dreamt this to be true, but no matter what one chooses to believe, these are what some of these climate speaking activists charge as they fly all over the world in their private jets to speaking engagements.
(Not to mention the fact all of these folks have invested large into oil and gas companies around the world)

Al Gore: $100,000 per speaking engagement.
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Al-Gore...ing-engagement
Bill Nye: $50 to $75,000 per speaking engagement.
http://brianlilley.com/we-paid-how-m...e-science-guy/
David Suzuki: $30 to $50,000 per speaking engagment.
https://www.aaespeakers.com/keynote-...s/david-suzuki

Now look up their net worth, where they reside, and how many homes, private jets and other elite perks they have. You might, for those that don't know any better, be shocked.

I knew it! And I think he was at a pizza parlor eating young children when he came up with the idea to take away guns. Saw it on YouTube.

Yes, exactly. What was left of the pizza was then fashioned into weapons for the Ukranian military, with the pizza boxes ground up and mixed with the big pharma party drugs Paul Pelosi uses for his clandestine gay trysts. Those were then mixed with the blood of drag queens at the behest of George Soros, who will encourage children to drink it at storytime at the local library. Anyone who doesn't get this is "a sheep"

The snow is almost here according to the radar. We are supposed to get another 10 inches between today and tomorrow. The good part is no below zero temperatures and the wind is supposed to stay below 20mph.

That is all political BS I know nothing about or care about.

My post included an example of someone I really know and have been in the same room in real life with on several occasions. Your links mean less than nothing to me.

Tell me how you personally or people you actually know in real life are affected. Otherwise I consider your posts in this section the same as watching an episode of Ancient Aliens. They should be enjoyed in moderation and NEVER taken seriously.

Did you not say in one of your much earlier posts somewhere that you think and say things differently than most?
I recall something to that affect anyways but whatever it was, it is on full display yet again right here right now.
Truthfully, with your inability to follow along, grasp anything that is being said in these posts, I am surprised you actually attempt to say anything at all?

I agree with the bold part. I usually try to stay away from pure silliness on this forum.

Hopefully I can stay away from another thread you have completely ruined with your conspiracy theory crap.

You say you don't watch the news, you don't follow politics so I assume you must just stare at the stars dreaming up your own beliefs and thoughts, and if anyone doesn't agree with those made up beliefs and thoughts, then they are a conspiracy theorist. Do I have that right?

Time and time again, just like what you wrote above a few times now, when you have nothing in the form of a rebuttal or an argument, and because others opinions differ from yours, you resort to name calling and ad hominen attacks.
Like I said, why do you even bother if you don't like hearing differing opinions than your own?
It's confusing, Ben.
