The federal government in Canada has moved to pass coal
phase-out legislation into law with its Just
Transition Task Force in favor of “clean energy.”
“The end of coal
power will help usher in a new era for renewable energy,” said David Suzuki
Foundation director of science and policy Ian Bruce. “With conventional
coal-fired power officially headed for the history books, people across the
country can literally breathe easier about the future of energy production.”
“This is yet another signal that dirty, outdated energy
sources are on their way out,” said the Foundation’s lead climate campaigner
and senior policy analyst Gideon Forman. “Canada will now join a handful of
leading industrialized countries such as the U.K., the Netherlands and France
in accelerating the end of coal power worldwide – and the onset of clean,
renewable energy.” France uses mostly nuclear power to generate their
electricity.
Clean energy sounds great, especially nuclear and gas, but wind
and solar electricity production, at the current rate of production and cost,
cannot possibly replace all the energy needs of the planet for the industrial
and public energy sectors.
Rationing electricity via smart meters which turns off power
during peak electricity use and now Smart
Cooling Rewards are ways in which the global warming advocates are forcing
people to do without electricity in order to save the planet from a manufactured
global warming catastrophe renamed climate change which we used to call
seasons.
It is hard to convince people to give up their civilization,
air conditioning, refrigeration, cars, central heat, and other amenities that
make life more comfortable. They were bribed or forced to install smart meters
on their homes. But people fought back and many states now have opt-out
programs.They tried to force people out of their cars by narrowing roads, bulldozing parking lots, building high-rise, mixed use tiny apartments, limiting suburbia with regulations and fines, and charging ungodly tolls of $46.50 to go 10 miles on I-66 to Washington, D.C. But Americans find ways around this global warming piracy because they love their cars and the freedom which the open-wide roads given them.
Private-public partnerships now scalp the public, working
against the public interest and for the globalist investors’ interest.
Governments, whether local, state, or federal, despite their claims, do not
know what works best for their citizens.
Virginia citizens fought back and won the right to keep
their standard meters, protecting their privacy, lower electricity cost, and
their health. Dominion Energy recently came up with another scheme to control electricity
consumption, Smart Cooling Rewards.
The rewards are $40 at the end of each year that a household volunteers to participate
in the program.What is the program about? Dominion Energy installs “a switch on or near the outside of your air conditioner or heat pump system.” How convenient and generous, $40 for the privilege to sweat to death in summer time or freeze to death in winter time when the mother ship decides to cut off your power in order to save them the headache of having to buy more expensive electricity during peak seasons or perhaps build excess capacity storage.
“The switch enables us to automatically ‘cycle’ your central
air conditioner for a few hours when electricity demand is highest, helping to
reduce demand when it counts most,” says Dominion Power.
Utilities buy electricity annually during low season when
the weather is mild and electricity is cheaper; they buy it in a lump sum by
estimating their future electricity needs. If the load on the power grid is
higher, then they have to buy more electricity at the market price when prices are
higher. Some utilities may go as far as helping their customers weather-proof
homes during free inspections, and giving them rebates if they comply.
“During periods of high electrical use, Dominion Energy
Virginia may call an ‘event’, which means we will cycle your air conditioner or
heat pump compressor on and off for defined intervals. The fan will stay on circulating
already cooled air. The switch is programmed to cycle your AC unit half of the
time it ran preceding an event. If your AC runs non-stop the hour before an
event, then it will run 30 minutes for each hour of the event duration. This is
accomplished by running 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. At the end of the event
your AC returns to normal operation.”
It is entirely up to you how much you are willing to sweat
or shiver in order to save your power company money and save the planet from a
non-existent Armageddon that the global warming alarmists world-wide have been
promoting.This “switch” installed by Dominion Energy will be nothing but another smart meter that will control your energy use since the air conditioning puts the biggest load on electricity use. Why don’t utilities pass costs onto consumers? Is this bribe only about saving costs to them? Could it be possible that it is a way to control the non-cooperating first world people who love their A/C and other modern conveniences that environmentally conscious globalist elites condemn?
According to electricians, the electric grid is not in
really good shape, it is a patched job that sometimes results in brown outs and
black outs, especially in metropolitan areas that have grown extensively. The
grid has not kept up with this expansion and the electricity loads are more
than the grid can handle. It is a lot cheaper for utilities to turn power off
than to redo the grid.
Will building the smart power grid be safer and will it
handle electricity loads better than the existing conventional power grid?
According to experts, changing everything to a smart grid will not be any
better in terms of load other than the fact that those in charge will be able
to turn your power off as they see fit. Additionally, hackers will be able to
interrupt service maliciously. There is always the potential of a solar flare
or the explosion of an EMP in the atmosphere that would fry everything.
Smart grids, smart meters, and smart switches will also
allow utilities to spy on its customers without a warrant in terms of energy
consumption, types of appliances they have, when owners are and aren’t home,
and then sell other data about your home to an interested third party. Thieves
can also easily find out when you are and aren’t home.
