Study: Half of Phoenix ends up in ER in heatwave-related grid crash

[multivita-man]

Half of Phoenix, Arizona, would end up in the ER if the city has a blackout during a heat wave, study finds

The study's lead author says a blackout in Phoenix could kill 13,000 people, calling it the "greatest climate-related hazard we can imagine."

I admit that I'm often a bit skeptical of seemingly hyperbolic numbers like this, but if the study's even half right with its predictions, it seems like it's just a matter of time before an extended heatwave crashes a grid and endangers a hell of a lot of people in a major urban center.

Thank a democrat

Thank a democrat

For what?

For what?

Jeopardizing the entire electrical grid with green energy & net zero BS.
Our entire system is vulnerable because of reliance on unreliable sources & getting worse.
It isn't hardened against attacks, both natural & man made (sun flares or EMP)

It's not like the GOP doesn't share in this complicity too.

Democrat plan coming together

Less people equals less carbon emissions.

Yeah, those Repubs are great at building arks.

About 17% of the nation's grid is running on renewables and you call that "reliance"?

Why are fossil fuels more reliable than other sources?

Seems like you're just pulling objections out of your ass.

TBH, that is probably the best and only 'solution' to ecological 'overshoot'.

Fossil fuels are "on-demand" sources of energy while neither wind nor solar are. They are only available at certain times.
Do you really not understand this?

Maybe that gerbil you pulled out of your ass chewed through your brain

So you admit trying to kill off people?

Not that it would stop the DNC from winning elections

FFS, are you posting from the year 1843? You've never heard of storage?

You clearly have a preoccupation with bestiality.

That's not what I wrote. Take a literacy class or two before responding to future posts.
