The same wind and solar-obsessed ideology that wrecked Germany\u2019s power supply is on clear display in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If massive and seemingly endless subsidies to wind and solar aren\u2019t enough to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies we\u2019ve enjoyed for generations o their own, then the wind and sun cult amp it up with arbitrary rules and impenetrable regulations aimed at delivering the coup de grace \u2013 which is precisely what America\u2019s EPA is determined to do to their country\u2019s reliable coal and gas-fired generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Bryce provides the details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPA v. The Grid<\/strong>

Robert Bryce
13 May 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 4, members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission delivered stark warnings to the members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The agency\u2019s acting chairman, Willie Phillips, told the senators, \u201cWe face unprecedented challenges to the reliability of our nation\u2019s electric system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FERC Commissioner Mark Christie echoed Phillips\u2019 warning, saying the U.S. electric grid is \u201cheading for a very catastrophic situation in terms of reliability.\u201d His colleague, Commissioner James Danly, averred that there is a \u201clooming reliability crisis in our electricity markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commissioners pointed to several factors for the reliability crisis, including numerous coal plants that are being retired prematurely, insufficient pipeline capacity to assure natural gas can be delivered to power plants, insufficient high-voltage transmission capacity, and distortions in the electricity market caused by massive federal subsidies for weather-dependent renewables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the last point, Danly told the senators, \u201cFERC has allowed the markets to fall prey to the price distorting and warping effects of subsidies<\/a> and public policies that have driven the advancement of large quantities of intermittent renewable resources onto the electric system.\u201d In his written testimony, Danly went further<\/a>, saying \u201cMost of these market-distorting forces originate with subsidies \u2014 both state and federal \u2014 and from public policies that are otherwise designed to promote the deployment of non-dispatchable wind and solar assets or to drive fossil-fuel generators out of business as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danly continued: \u201cThe subsidies available to renewable generators are so lucrative that, when participating in procurement auctions, they are able to offer at a price of zero instead of their actual cost. The market signal thereby created is that these new resources can be built for free<\/em>, and thus the cost of power is also free. This, of course, is untrue, and the inevitable consequence is market-wide price suppression. The price suppression deprives other market participants of much-needed revenue, leading to the premature retirement of the dispatchable generators which have to offer into the market at their true costs in order to remain viable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During questioning of the FERC commissioners, the chairman of Senate ENR, Joe Manchin, the Democrat from West Virginia, asked all of the commissioners a simple question: can the electric grid as it exists today, be reliable without coal-fired generation? All of the commissioners said no, with Christie saying \u201cWe need to keep coal for the foreseeable future<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exactly one week after that May 4 hearing, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a proposed rule that could force the closure of every coal-fired power plant in America as well as most of the natural gas plants if they cannot cut their emissions by 90%. Here\u2019s how Politico reported on it: The new rule will require, \u201cmost fossil fuel power plants to slash their greenhouse gas pollution 90%<\/a>  between 2035 and 2040 \u2014 or shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, at the same time FERC commissioners are warning of catastrophic failures on the U.S. electric grid, the EPA under President Joe Biden wants to implement rules that could \u2014 repeat, could<\/em> \u2014 force the closure of 90 percent of the hydrocarbon-fueled power plants in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be catastrophic. Last year, hydrocarbon-fueled power plants in the U.S. generated 2,518 terawatt-hours of energy, which was about 59% of all the juice produced in the country. (Coal plants produced about 829 terawatt-hours and gas-fired generators produced 1,689 terawatt-hours.) If we take 90% of the 2,518 terawatt-hours produced from coal and gas plants, we get 2,266 terawatt-hours of electricity per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As can be seen in the graphic above, the 2,266 terawatt-hours of energy that we generate from hydrocarbons every year is more than 10 times the amount of juice now being produced by all of the solar panels in the country. It\u2019s also more than five times more than what\u2019s being produced by wind turbines, and nearly three times more than what\u2019s being generated by all of our nuclear plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EPA\u2019s proposed rule hinges on the dubious claim that carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is ready for prime time. Politico reporter Alex Guill\u00e9n explained that to \u201cjustify the size of those cuts, the agency says fossil fuel plants could capture their greenhouse gas emissions<\/a> before they hit the atmosphere \u2014 a long-debated technology that no power plant in the U.S. uses now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why aren\u2019t power plants using it? As I explained in a piece published in 2010 in the <\/a>New York Times<\/a><\/em>,<\/a> the energy penalty for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas (known as the parasitic load) is about 28%. Thus, simply capturing the CO2 slashes the output of the plant by more than a quarter. Second, we don\u2019t have enough pipelines to move that colorless, odorless, worthless gas. Remember, due to opposition from climate activists, energy companies can\u2019t get permits to build pipelines that carry valuable products like crude oil and natural gas. Given that, it\u2019s unlikely that any energy companies will be able to get permits for pipelines to carry CO2. Indeed, the rural resistance against CO2 pipelines is already fierce. For proof of that, see this AP story about Burleigh County, ND, which approved an ordinance in March<\/a> requiring special permits for pipelines that carry \u201chazardous liquids such as carbon dioxide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, the amount of gas involved is staggering. A bit of simple math shows that sequestering 600 million tons of CO2 per year (the number the EPA published<\/a> in its May 11 press release) would require creating an industry capable of handling a mass of CO2 that\u2019s equal to about 12 million barrels of oil per day. In other words, the EPA\u2019s proposed CCS plan if enacted, would require creating the U.S. oil industry<\/em> in reverse<\/em>. (U.S. oil production is now about 12.5 million barrels per day<\/a>.) As an alternative to CCS, the EPA is also claiming that power plant owners could fuel their generators with hydrogen, an energy carrier that is getting more hype than the Kardashians (and is about as useful).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sequestering 600 million tons of CO2 per year (the number the EPA published in its May 11 press release) would require creating an industry capable of handling a mass of CO2 that\u2019s equal to about 12 million barrels of oil per day. In other words, the EPA\u2019s proposed CCS plan if enacted, would require creating the U.S. oil industry<\/em> in reverse<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the obvious cost, technical, and scale problems with CCS, the leaders of America\u2019s biggest alt-energy NGOs happily cheered the EPA\u2019s proposed power plant rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Krupp, the longtime president of the Environmental Defense Fund (annual budget: $358 million<\/a>), told PBS that the proposal \u201cwill bring us closer to a clean energy future<\/a> with healthier air, a safer climate, good jobs, and affordable, reliable electricity.\u201d David Doniger of the Natural Resources Defense Council, (annual budget: $233 million<\/a>) was quoted by PBS thusly: \u201cWe need to do this to meet the climate crisis.\u2033<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PBS went on to declare that \u201cThe power plant rules are crucial to meeting Biden\u2019s goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and eliminate carbon emissions from the power grid by 2035, he [Doniger] and other advocates said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few more points about grid reliability are essential here. In December of last year, the North American Electric Reliability Corp., the non-profit that advises regional grid operators (like ERCOT, CAISO, and PJM) about the reliability of the bulk power system, released its Long-Term Reliability Assessment<\/a>. NERC found that much of North America is at \u201celevated\u201d or \u201chigh\u201d risk of electricity shortfalls during extreme weather. John Moura, NERC\u2019s director of reliability assessment and performance analysis, told reporters that there are \u201cextraordinary reliability challenges and opportunities in front of us.\u201d As Robert Walton, a reporter for Utility Dive put it, NERC has been \u201cwarning about the speed of the energy transition in recent years<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, PJM, the regional transmission operator that covers about a dozen states in the northeastern U.S., issued a report which found that several trends, including early retirements of coal plants, \u201cpresent increasing reliability risks.<\/a>\u201d It noted that retirements of existing plants \u201care at risk of outpacing the construction of new resources, due to a combination of industry forces, including siting and supply chain, whose long-term impacts are not fully known.\u201d It continued, saying the projects waiting to be connected are composed \u201cprimarily of intermittent and limited-duration resources. Given the operating characteristics of these resources, we need multiple megawatts of these resources to replace 1 megawatt of thermal generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, during a speech to the Electric Power Supply Association, PJM\u2019s CEO, Manu Asthana, put it bluntly: \u201cWhen you look at the rate of retirements, you look at the rate of growth, and you add in the current rate of throughput for our queue \u2014 we are headed for some trouble<\/a>. And that trouble is likely to find us later in this decade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asthana\u2019s remarks are nearly identical to what the FERC commissioners said last week. Thus, the top people and key agencies that oversee the operation of the electric grid \u2014 FERC, NERC, and PJM \u2014 are all warning that our most important energy network is becoming less reliable. That declining reliability is happening at the same time the NGO-corporate-industrial-climate complex is spending tens of millions of dollars on campaigns to \u201celectrify everything.\u201d Those measures include bans on natural gas for heating and cooking in homes and businesses. The alt-energy push also includes, of course, electric vehicles. And again, the timing matters. The EPA\u2019s May 11 announcement about power plants came less than a month after the same agency announced pollution rules that could require up to two-thirds of all the new vehicles sold in the country to be electric by 2032<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the Biden administration and its many allies in the $4.5 billion-per-year anti-industry industry<\/a> are aggressively pushing policies that will dramatically increase demand for electricity across the country at the same time that the EPA is pushing rules that are undermining the reliability of the electric grid. Of course, all this is being justified in the name of climate change. On May 11, Biden said the EPA\u2019s proposed power plant rule is \u201ca major step forward in the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if Biden is serious about climate change and reducing emissions, he should immediately give a speech on the need for accelerated development and deployment of nuclear energy. As my pal, Doomberg, correctly noted last week, \u201cthere is no path to significant decarbonization of our economy without a global nuclear renaissance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. should be leading that renaissance and Biden and his fellow Democrats should be cheering it on at every opportunity. Alas, that isn\u2019t happening. Instead, Biden\u2019s administration continues pushing radical and impractical proposals that are imposing regressive energy taxes on low- and middle-income consumers, hurting our energy security, and increasing the risk of a catastrophic failure of our electric grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for sober thinking about our energy and power networks. We need an affordable, reliable, and resilient electric grid. Unfortunately, sober thinking about energy is in desperately short supply in Washington, DC.
