The research, conducted in May by the firm Always On Energy Research, concluded that the Environmental Protection Agency's recently finalized regulations are not technologically feasible and will foreseeably lead to the retirement of coal power generation units. Intermittent and weather-dependent green energy sources, such as wind and solar, will replace such retired generators, leading to unreliable conditions, the study found.
The study largely echoes concerns that have been voiced by the U.S. grid watchdog, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation; regional grid operators; and power utility companies. Four regional grid operators that oversee the infrastructure supplying power for 154 million Americans warned after the EPA regulations were first proposed last year that grid reliability would "dwindle to concerning levels" under the regulations. The Edison Electric Institute, the lead industry group representing U.S. electric companies, in late May joined a lawsuit that challenged the EPA's finalized regulations.

This should be challenged in court, only Congress has the power to change the rules the EPA enforces.

The rest of the world gets reliable energy from green energy sources but apparently the extreme right feels the US is behind the rest of the world. I realize that since they voted against it, the right doesn't understand that Infrastructure Bill is addressing those mentioned shortfalls. Face it, coal is the horse energy source of 2024 and deal with it!

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Got anything that directly refutes the substance of the article?

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Did you or did you not post a non-specific media bias/fact check about the Toronto Sun? If the purpose was not to cast doubt upon the substance of the Toronto Sun piece, what was your purpose?
In the winter of 2021-2022,
_did the citizens of the UK and Europe experience substantial increases in their energy costs?
_did factories reduce output, shutdown or substantially increase the price of goods in part or in full do the rise in energy costs
_are European governments reversing or moderating "green energy" policies in full or in part because "green energy" is not fully capable of filling the gap caused by the decrease in use of fossil fuels for energy demand?
_The key failing of wind energy compared to fossil fuels and nuclear power is that it can’t provide base load power to the electricity grid on demand because the wind doesn’t always blow. True or false?
_Green energy also can’t be stored until needed at levels required to power industrialized countries, given current battery technology. True or false?
_“completely phasing out natural gas generation by 2030 would lead to blackouts and the system changes that would be required would increase residential electricity bills by 60%.” True or false?
I asked a specific question. How does your 2nd post refute my linK? It doesn't and neither does PO1 Nagel's article.

Maj John Bell Look I'm not going to change you, and you're not going to change me. Just be aware that those who belive as you represent around 3/4 of 1/3 of all registered voters.

The Biden Administration ruins everything it touches. Congress did not vote on this. Democrats are a threat to our Freedom and Society.
