Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa

Via Hot Air;

A major power grid operator that oversees electricity supplies across the mid-Atlantic repeated its warning that the looming shutdown of a coal-fired power plant in Baltimore will threaten the region’s grid reliability and may have devastating impacts on consumers.

In a follow-up letter obtained by FOX Business this week, PJM Interconnection warned the shutdown of the Brandon Shores coal power plant is slated to occur before replacement power sources can come online, resulting in “degraded grid reliability” for more than 1 million state consumers, including the entire city of Baltimore.

Now pay close attention, because this is where the math comes in.

PJM is preparing for significant impacts to the grid from additional demand that includes up to 7,500 MW of new data centers to be sited in Virginia and Maryland. This is combined with widespread effects from the deactivation of more than 11,000 MW of generation across the PJM footprint.

Mortgage Millstone

Gradually Then Suddenly Great Moments In Socialism It's Probably Nothing 42 Comments

Variable rate mortgages are a sweet deal when interest rates are falling, but apparently not so much when rates go in the opposite direction. It makes for a life just full of surprises, but not the happy kind.

We had a 1.3 per cent variable mortgage rate, which amounted to two payments of $1,275 each month, plus $370 in monthly maintenance fees.

On June 1, the Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate to 1.5 per cent, a half per cent hike. That month, our biweekly payments rose to $1,500.

July rolled around and our payment increased yet again. A couple days later, I went to buy gas for our car, thinking Evelin and I had $600 in our joint account. To my surprise, there was only $100 in there.

We’re paying more than $5,000 a month to live in a 900-square-foot townhouse, and $3,500 of that total goes to interest alone.

 

Wet’suwet’en protests, deep dive into ESG, Part 1

Climate Cult Drill, Baby, Drill 20 Comments

Like or hate it, believe it’s a passing fad or the wave of the future. #ESG came out of nowhere about four years ago and now is at the forefront of concern for almost every larger business in the energy sector, and beyond. This Op-Ed by Deidra Garyk studies the Impact of ESG on the Energy Sector, Part 1. Watch for Part 2 tomorrow.

And along those lines, the Coastal GasLink project was an ESG nightmare, with protests across the country. This Canadian Press story says Police violated protesters’ rights in Wet’suwet’en pipeline blockades, Amnesty says

Khrushchev Would Be So Proud!

During Krushchev’s reign in the Soviet Union, the state embarked on a massive residential building spree which was so ineptly carried out that Russians referred to the buildings as khrushchebys, which is a play on the Russian word for slum. Fast forward to 2023, and the Trudeau government has unveiled its own version of centrally planned housing development.

It’s not that the federal government is going to give you a house, but they will provide you with an architect at taxpayer expense to create pre-approved blueprints which they are certain you will love.

“The catalogue of pre-approved designs, is going to be tied to existing building codes — the National Building Code, which we will seek to make changes to in the future — but will also be designed to mirror the requirements of provincial building codes that are implemented across the country,” he said.

“We’re going to ensure that the pre-approved designs meet the standards to access CMHC programs so we can reduce the administrative barriers on applicants who are seeking to go through the process.”

Armstrong Economics- The Second-Largest Contributor to US Private Debt

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s data shows that auto loans have surpassed student loans, becoming the second-largest debt burden for U.S. consumers. Auto loan debt has reached $1.582 trillion, exceeding the $1.569 trillion in student loan debt. This surge in auto loan debt is attributed to rising vehicle prices, leading consumers to take out larger loans at higher rates.

Not to worry Joe Biden is on it.

At the same time, the government is moving full speed ahead to reach their target of 50%+ EVs by 2030. Thousands of auto dealers have penned the Biden Administration to explain how this policy is significantly hurting their business. The public is drowning in debt over mostly gas-powered purchases, and EVs are significantly more expensive to purchase and maintain.

Klaus has other ideas…

The World Economic Forum is in partnership with global governments to end private car ownership by 2050. Owning a car is becoming an increasing luxury. Insurance costs could be a topic for another time as most states have seen their premiums skyrocket. Major cities around the globe like London and New York City are implementing congestion and traffic taxes as well.

By choice or by design;

Last night I was watching a lecture when the physician said “We’re seeing residents who couldn’t tell you which end is the head and which the tail [pancreas]. I’m hoping these remedial programs work.”

“What?!”, said I …

“Remedial medical education for a med school grad who’s been accepted into a respected residency program?!” So I looked into it for you.
