Energy Crisis Threatens to Hit USA Grids
The energy crisis that’s led to electricity shortages and blackouts in Europe and Asia may be heading for the U.S.
Electric companies are alerting customers about winter price hikes and an energy hedge fund warned of potential gas shortages. Ernie Thrasher, chief executive officer of Xcoal Energy & Resources LLC, said utility executives have told him they’re anxious that fuel shortages this winter could trigger blackouts.
“These utilities are worried the assets that they have can’t get enough fuel,” Thrasher said in an interview. “There are people of high authority at large utilities that are deeply concerned.” He declined to name the companies, saying they come from almost every region in the U.S.
The global economic recovery from the pandemic has driven up demand for power, triggering shortages and higher prices for natural gas, especially in Asia. That’s prompted utilities to use more coal, which as a result is also now in short supply around the world. U.S. utilities are switching away from gas and expected to burn about 23% more coal this year.
The U.S. has enough gas to get through a normal winter, said James Shrewsbury, co-chief investment officer of e360 Power LLC, a gas and power hedge fund in Austin, Texas. But sustained low temperatures could create gas shortages. “If we get a prolonged cold this winter, there will be problems.”
Increased demand is bumping up against mine output that’s been falling for years. The growing urgency to fight climate change has made suppliers reluctant to increase production capacity for the dirtiest fossil fuel. Now, U.S. utilities’ stockpiles are shrinking and it’s not clear whether U.S. miners will be able to meet their increasing calls for more fuel.
Power producers including Duke Energy Corp. are already warning customers that bills will spike this winter. Duke’s Piedmont Natural Gas unit said Tuesday that high gas prices and low production will raise customer bills by about $11 a month in North and South Carolina. And Xcel Energy Inc. told Colorado regulators last month that its natural-gas customers will also see price hikes of about $11 a month due to tight supplies, an increase in gas exports and damage from Hurricane Ida.
A representative for Edison Electric Institute, the trade group for U.S. investor-owned electric utilities, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The New York State Public Service Commission is monitoring utilities in the state to ensure they have enough fuel this winter but said it expects they’ll be in position to meet demand.
“The utilities have hedged approximately 70%” of their residential electricity needs, which should protect against price swings, the agency said in a statement.

Fraunhofer Institute latest:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2021/10/11/fraunhofer-solar-panel-energy-payback-time-1-year/
Energy payback time average solar panel is now at 1 year. Further improvement towards 8 months is in the pipeline. That corresponds to an EROI that is more than high enough.

What clowns. There is absolutely no reason for the US to experience any power shortages. This is purely the result of gambling by the utilities.

Excellent German idea to get autonomous driving finally taking off:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2021/10/13/autonomous-driving-lite-in-hamburg-2022/
“Autonomous Driving Lite in Hamburg 2022”
Fully autonomous driving in the city (not highway) is still a “bridge too far”. But there is an alternative: remote control, effectively bringing a driverless car accurately to any destination (think 9/11!).
Angry that I didn’t think of this myself.

Only foreigners would want to watch that LA shithole & the homeless suffer – it’s a nation wide American problem that’s decades in the making. “All American” “Made in the USA”
Politics has way less to do with the numbers of homeless in LA than the weather does. Same in Canada – they flock to the warmer cities. Being a city with a major port usually means more drugs too.
American tribal monkeys are sparing no expense/energy to point-N-wag the finger at each other…..and they are both right.
“Donald Trump is a kamikaze candidate. He has never deigned to do the basic work of all politicians — to reach out to new people, to “grow the base.” Instead he has formulated positions and statements so extreme that while they make his most ardent supporters salivate and scream — instant gratification for him at his rallies — they tend to repel ordinary people, even ordinary Republicans. He never achieved an approval rating of 50%, and left office with 34% approval, ten points later than when he took office.
In other ways large and small the Republican Party seems bent on self immolation. It has encouraged an anti-mask, anti-vaccine response to the COVID pandemic with the result that most of the people now dying from the disease are Republicans. It has flirted openly with white supremacists, militias, racists and rioters, to the disgust of a majority of voters. It has adopted as its premiere operating principle that it will approve of nothing — no matter how desirable or beneficial to the American people — for which any Democrat anywhere might get some credit.
And it has taken to lying, so gratuitously and brazenly that everyone knows they are lying, yet they persist. In his book Landslide, Michael Wolff reports that in the waning days of Trump’s presidency there was not one single person among his most loyal supporters who believed the election had been “stolen” by the Democrats. Yet even today his handlers and those who seek to feed off of him continue to repeat the lie.
There’s an old saying in politics to the effect that when your opponent is destroying himself, don’t get in the way. In the realm of politics, not government, probably the best thing the Democratic Party can do right now is pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.”
http://www.dailyimpact.net/2021/09/06/kamikaze-politics/
Even before Trump the American people were exhibiting a significant amount of daily recklessness like “challenges” that involve eating toxic substances (pods), chicken sandwich sale rumbles, firearms stunts, “Black Fridays” & playing Russian roulette with street drugs that or may not be laced with enough Fentanyl and/or Carfentanil to kill 12 hefty lumberjacks.
If ‘your guy’ can’t win, wait for the next Jan 6th & go on a rampage like a many millions strong herd of Buffalo rumbling across the great plains. Destroy all that hate or don’t understand.

That’s exactly the European attitude vs America. Sooner or later your “white tribal monkeys” are going to revolt, most likely on the very moment that the Chinese have made it abundantly clear that the days of US global hegemony are over for good. Then the time for plan B will have arrived.

There is a possibility that we might end up creating a new specie without realizing it by aligning the whole planet consciousness and reality. That would be some kind of hybrid mi-man mi-animal.
There is a possibility that we are unlocking knowledge about GOD without knowing it.

Forget the girl concentrate on the colors. My felling (I could be wrong), this is to prepare you to see the electromagnetic/electrical field. If you eyes receive the proper DNA upgrade you will see color tone of the energy field.

WeContinuesForward on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 10:18 am
I think we should continue forward and destroy reality but putting the population of the earth in a state of chaos, there make impossible for them (if they exist) they impose a reality on us. At worst if we are wrong we are creating a new specie, and at best case we destroy the reality that our enemies are trying to put on us; We install the underworld into planet earth with dead people of color gray with skin infection walking the surfae of the earth
WeContinueForward on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 10:24 am
This is my sugestion, we continue what we did and install the underworld into this realm. I don’t have enought info to make another decision.
We cannot discount the possbile that we have an aline specie spying and manupulating us from the energy field of life.

If I was the captain of the ship, I would go forward and destroy reality.
SomeOfMyUselessInfo on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 10:48 am
This look like a battle to control consciousness of the earth. I think they have a plan that could span over 100 of years to control us. I think some has been trying to install a reality using moderate fear (fear of losing your job, fear of not being accepted socially, using religion to make you fearfully of what is good or bad). Just enough fear to people to obey but not enough fear to destroy their reality.
Jonathan Kleck channel on Brighteon seem to be using religion as a way to put fear into people. He is trying to install fear using the Vatican architecture. He seems to know stuff of my personal life that nobody could know. So they could be spying on me and hiding from me using the energy field of the GOD consciousness.

There seem to be two channel MordantWit and thejonathanKleck channel on Brithteon. Both seem to work together. MordantWit know tech I told to my spirit while servicing my prostate.
I think we have enemies trying to harvest energy from us. Where would they take their energy to power their fucking fake sun.
Keep receiving telepathic message saying thank you and good decision. I don’t like telepathic message as they could also come from our enemies.

They have been begging (our enemies) for redemption for 2 weeks. You are not going to get it from me.
You see if they operate from the energy field, they cannot speak to us verbally. They can only speak to us by modifying everything that run on electrical energy like my computer screen, my internet connection or my computer. Telepathic message that are probably electrical in nature. These are the only two ways they can communicate with us.
Telepathic messages are unreliable and must be validated with other info.
They can only communicate with someone that has a high IQ and can make associations between different kind of information.
I say we go forward and destroy this realm. At worst if we are wrong we get a new species of being mi-human and mi animal. We really have nothing to lose by destroying the reality they created to harvest energy from us. If we destroy their reality we starve them of energy and exterminate them. They deserve to be exterminated anyway for what they did to us.

I think we have friends in the battle. I think there is a battle going on outside of earth that us human cannot see. I can not know for sure has they cannot communicate verbally. They only communicate trough medium running on electricity like computer screen, hard driver server farm like YouTube and so on. No totally sure since I cannot speak to them verbally.
IThinkWeShouldGoForwardAndDestroyThisRealm on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 1:29 pm
You can not know for sure which spirit is playing with me and exchanging energy since I cannot speak to them verbally.
It seems to be working. One of my neighbor has lost of lot of weight and she seems sick. She seems to be one of our enemy.
This could be bigger then earth, but I am not sure either.

It seems to be working. It is much more quiet in my head. Seems there is less negative energy circulating around.

So basically, the beings that have invaded us can invade any realm. They are empty shell that can change to any shape according to the reality they live in. This is how they can invade any realm without being detect. They
For example,
If one of these being was to invade a reptilian realm, he would morph into a reptilian.
If one of these being was to invade earth, he will morph into a human. They can invade any realm and suck the life out of it.
JustSomeThought on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 5:48 pm
They have done that before to other realm. This is why they are morphing into new being. The have no consciousness, so they cannot create their reality, they can only copy reality created by other people. They are basically parasite to go from one reality to another ones.
JustSomeComments on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 5:52 pm
Once their number is becoming sufficient, they modified a civilization and install themselves as master of the invaded realm. THink of Vanguard BlackRock, Amazon. They are morphing to stay in power of earth realm.
SomeOfMyShitComments on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 6:21 pm
They probably have a original body shape where they consume the least energy. When they morph or shapeshift it require from them a lot of energy and it makes them weaker, If we constantly change the reality, they have to constantly shape shit and required a lot of energy and put them in state of stress. The need a stable reality to work, otherwise it required too much energy to always morph to keep them self update with the current reality. Plus it is difficult for them to keep controlling a civilization if it is not stable.
We could deplete their energy and make sick to dead by constanlty changing the reality. T
SomeOfMyShitComments on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 6:28 pm
One my neighbor seem to be really weak. She lost a lot of weight. Was really surprise when I saw her 2 weeks ago.
I think this is why it is really important for them to keep the stock market up. The financial system is their creation and it is how they control this realm. Losing control of it could affect them greatly. It would put them in a state of stress.
SomeOfMyShitComments on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 6:44 pm
Could you just imagine what they did to us. There are other worlds out there the we humans know nothing about. They keep us in the dark for 100 years. They keep us in a control prison, while they have all kind of knowledge about the bigger earth or the energy field. Do you understand how vicious and cruel that is. We are completely ignorant of how the real world function. There is probably a bigger world with all kind of civilization and species that we know nothing about.
Just think about that.
SomeOfMyMusing on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 7:00 pm
We are probably not their first victim. They most likely have destroyed other civilization and exterminated of species by their parasitical actions.
I say we do our best to exterminate them on our behalf and the behalf of other civilization/realm they destroyed by their actions. It is fair and just what we are doing and we should feel no remorse seeking their extermination.
SomeOfMyMusing on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 7:02 pm
It is something when you think about they did to us and most likely other species.
SomeOfMyMusing on Thu, 21st Oct 2021 7:13 pm
It so quiet in my head. I think our enemy have a hive telepathic mind. If one feel scare, they are all feel scare. Really quiet, it was also quiet this afternoon. I think they are scared of us and it is making them sick.
