As with Texas, MISO is currently relying almost entirely on coal,
gas and nuclear power. If they had been operating with a quarter of the
power from wind, as Texas was last week, I suspect that they would have
been experiencing the same blackouts as Texas has had.

Hmmmm... This will be more a common problem as more states switch to wind and solar, for there's no current way to store generated power. Natural gas, oil and coal you can store and use as necessary. You can also do that with AOC's stupidity (rumor has it she carries it in her purse), but why would you want to?

Too bad we can't run the power grid on AOC's stupidity Dana; America would have no energy problems as long as she's alive!

Fer sherr! I'm glad we're in the part of Minnesota that does NOT rely on wind and solar. But who knows what the future will bring? As long as the DimComs run this state, nobody's safe.
