The actual destruction of our power grid goes back over 20 years , but we'll blame Murphy because his progressive California policies made it worse, The Democrats past policy's had PSEG shut down its Mercer and Hudson stations even though they had back end clean technology in them,their was also a power plant in the old Fairless Steel site that burnt garbage methane from landfill nearby shutdown, Sadly even the Unions supported shutting down these plants , I remember getting into an argument with a union bigwig 20years ago he told me they would never shutdown Mercer generator plant , he told me I was crazy to tell him the environmentalist wanted it shut, but no new plants were ever built to replace them and now there is a megawatt shortage in the PJM northeast grid ,they had us all switch to LED lighting Murphy even outlawed 4'florescent lamps to save money and be green and get solar panels. but now! They tell use we all need IA , but those Data centers need a substantial amount of power compared to conventional data centers so all the efficiency we saved from switching to LED and solar is now gone thanks to more Data centers and AI Data centers. We are living in the upside down world now!

Wonderful. So we now pay through the nose for the stupidity and corruption of gullible voters, brain dead regulators, pussified energy company CEOs, and crooked politicians who (pick up to four) drank the Kool-Aid on the climate hoax, were too timid to engage in any real critical thinking on the cost/benefit of nonsensical “sustainability” policies, sold out their oil and gas companies, and pocketed campaign moola from climate donors while hoping to escape to Florida with their handsome pensions before the suckers back in NJ woke up to massive rate increases and blackouts. Thanks, dbags.
