What with the EPA's war on coal, power generation capacities in the US are being strongly impacted by closing coal generation plants and blackouts could be a common thing of the future.
Case in point - from Bryan Preston at PJ Tatler:
EPA Official Explains Agency’s Plan to Curb Carbon Emissions…and Then This Happened
The US energy industry has been warning for years that the Obama EPA’s caps on carbon emissions will lead to several bad outcomes for Americans, including skyrocketing energy prices and even brownouts and blackouts.
The EPA’s Janet McCabe was testifying in the House today on the agency’s plan to cap carbon emissions. And then the power went out.
Heh - could not have scripted this any better. Same as Hansen and Wirth's presentation to Congress in 1988
