It was on the news yesterday here they were about to start doing some rolling blackouts in our area. I have a suggestion. How about they turn off the power to people on welfare that don't pay their own electric bill in times of high demand.

How the hell is this gonna work once everybody comes home from work and plugs in their electric cars to charge?
I’ve noticed the TVA isn’t building more power plants, at least not in my area. Plus they are shutting down coal plants.

Cumberland-TVA Wells Creek Fossil only had a single unit running Friday
Thought it was odd.
Outage is usually performed in the fall, less demand months. They are shutting it down Slum... TVA to close its largest caol fired plant

talking of coal power plants.
MS power / southern company put the d!ck to MS.
Built a lignite coal plant in Kemper County.
Last i heard 7+ billion $$…..
Of course, some of that got passed onto MS Power customers and rural co-ops that buy from MS power.
Not sure it’s even made any power…..

Years back, a guy here managed to get a government grant to make an electric plant that burned sawdust. I forget how much money he got, but it was a LOT. To my knowledge, it’s never produced any marketable electricity.
He actually built it, and it looked like he just gathered a bunch of stuff from a scrapyard and welded it together.

TVA still runs several Nuke fired plants, right? Browns Ferry was the one off of the my head Used the google for the whole list Browns Ferry, near Athens, Alabama Sequoyah, in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee Watts Bar, near Spring City, Tennessee Bellefonte was going to be a big one but turned into a cluster. It was sold a short while back to a group that planned to update it, finish it, and put it into service. A lot of local community plans were made based on that. The link below lists some info about the "why not"...at any rate, it's still a cluster....not sure if it will ever be anything but a cluster... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellefonte_Nuclear_PlantWidow's Creek was a local TVA coal fired plant. My father worked there for many years. At one time it was the largest generating station in the country and had one of, if not the, highest tower in the country. As coal was being phased out it was eventually shut down. It was sold to Google to serve as a data center. Of all the fossil fuels, coal was the cheapest source of power....no where for electric prices to go except up as coal is removed.

We don’t have enough electricity to cover immediate needs. Here in Nowhere, Tennessee, there are over 200 building permits issued within 1 1/2 miles of me that are being built as we speak. I’ve heard no one address this concern. Bring on the transient urbanite!!!! There won’t be anyone left in New Jersey in 20 years.
