On Monday, Spain, Portugal and part of France came, literally to a screeching halt for many hours. Millions are still without power.

What happened? And could it happen here?

The Portuguese grid operator blamed extreme temperature variation-induced “oscillations” in its high-voltage power lines. It may actually have more to do with the unreliability and attendant problems caused by so-called “sustainable” wind and solar power generation, on which the affected grid relies for over 50 percent of its electricity.

Parts of the U.S. electric grid certainly face such so-called green energy-precipitated problems as solar and wind farms that work part-time replace coal, nuclear and gas-fired power plants that work continuously.

That’s a formula for disaster here, too. Until it’s reversed, our grid will go down, too – if not due to enemy action or solar storms, because of insane green energy policies.

This is Frank Gaffney.
