Rolling black-outs this summer

[TroglocratsRdumb]

(NERC), a regulating authority that oversees the health of the nation’s electrical infrastructure released a sobering report on the state of the US power grid going into the summer. Ongoing drought in parts of the nation and heatwaves “could require system operators to use emergency procedures, up to and including temporary manual load shedding,” better known as rolling blackouts.
The NERC’s 2022 Summer Reliability Assessment indicated that large swaths of the country are at elevated risk, with the Upper Midwest and Central South at high risk. Speaking to CBS MoneyWatch John Moura, NERC’s director of reliability assessment and performance analysis, said “This is probably one of the grimmest pictures we’ve painted in a while.”

What is the plan to solve this power shortage problem?
How are we going to charge 290 million electric cars every day by 2030 if we already have power shortages?
How about building more Power Plants.
Why aren't we doing it?

Doesn't make any sense to you, neither, eh?

This should be a 2022 election issue.
People should be asking candidates about their plan to increase power production.
We should have a plan for more capacity than usage so that we have room to grow and not have these rolling black-out problems.
Natural Gas power plants should be the #1 choice.

So shutting down Nuke Plants was still a good idea?
