Joe Biden can’t seem to wait for the US to survive on green energy alone. However, experts suspect his impatience will have terrible consequences, like pushing the country to witness endless blackouts.
The policies were born on the false premise that intermittent power generation can meet energy demand in the United States. This belief has a forced reliance on China for the components necessary to implement the policy. This is detrimental to Americans’ standard of living and safety.
Renewable energy is a great innovation, especially from wind, solar, geothermal, and, potentially, hydrogen. There is no contest that renewables will be a part of our energy matrix. However, the argument is that they must work with always-on baseload power generation.

This is because renewables can only generate power intermittently rather than 24/7/365. This could be an issue as many structures in America depend on constant electricity available 365 days a year.
As it stands, renewables cannot provide the readily and constantly available energy that the nation requires. In its “rush-to-green,” the government forced some energy generation, like coal, to be terminated or made extremely difficult to operate.
The Biden administration currently hampers coal and natural gas power generation via excessive regulation, slow permitting, and the failure to allow the buildout of delivery infrastructure like pipelines. Meanwhile, the administration diverts subsidies to fast-track renewable projects like wind and solar.

They are the chosen winners in the energy market even though they have clear disadvantages compared to conventional power generation. This is an issue, even for fans of renewables, but only because green energy is intermittent and dispatchable. Wind and solar are sporadic producers. They generate electrical power when the wind blows or the sun shines.
Dispatchable energy sources are readily available, ready to be ramped up or down to produce power to meet demand. Good examples include coal, natural gas, fuel oil, hydroelectric generation, and, maybe soon, small modular reactors.
While the US has high environmental standards, countries like China out-compete America regarding growing domestic mining operations. This is due to their minimal to nonexistent ecological and human rights standards. Complete reliance on renewable generation without adequate battery storage or dispatchable power generation could leave states without the electricity their citizens need.

This will leave citizens at the whims of nature, which is inadvisable. Furthermore, the Biden administration’s policies that replace reliable power generation with intermittent renewables cause the nation to endure a potential crisis from brownouts and blackouts.
When the demand for electricity increases, utilities will need to be able to generate power immediately. Green energy will not be able to do that.
As reliable generations like coal or older gas plants are written off, they must be replaced with comparable, dispatchable generations in megawatts or more.
