– When The Grid Goes Down And The Lights Go Out, No One Will Come To Help
This new story over at Resist The Mainstream presents us with just one piece of a puzzle that’s not too difficult to put together if we only look at all of the puzzle pieces, rather than just this one. With their story titled “Grid Operator Sounds Alarm As Coal Plant Shutdown Threatens Power for Millions,” that story immediately caught my attention with the Brandon Shores coal power plant near Baltimore, Maryland serving millions of people in the Baltimore/Washington DC region and that closure, planned for June of 2025, being just a small part of a much larger settlement with the Sierra Club.

Reporting that back in 2020, Texas-based Talen Energy, the coal plants operator, had agreed with the Sierra Club to close Brandon Shores and two other major coal plants in the region in an attempt to avoid any future litigation, the then-CEO of Talen Energy, Ralph Alexander, described the move as part of the company’s transition to green energy and its broader environmental, social and governance (ESG)-focused future.
However as the operator of the grid, PJM Interconnection, has warned, the premature closure of Brandon Shores would create an imbalance in the grid with Jeff Shields, the spokesman for PJM Interconnection, direly warning the severe voltage drop and thermal violations across seven PJM zones that could result from the plant’s deactivation could lead to widespread reliability risks in Baltimore and surrounding areas.
With Shields also warning of “an urgent need to upgrade the transmission system in order to maintain reliability and the flow of power to the 65 million people we serve,” can you imagine the city of Baltimore and numerous surrounding areas, including Northern Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, without power for an extended period of time?
As the Resist The Mainstream story warned, such a scenario is potentially catastrophic.
And as we mentioned in our opening, to see the entire picture of what’s now happening across America we need to put the entire puzzle together, with the next crucial piece of the puzzle this new story over at Fox News reporting the Biden admin is quietly working on a settlement with groups in the State of Washington who are seeking to tear down a key power source there, four different hydroelectric dams.
Once again, a long-running project of the Sierra Club, the Sierra Club has outright stated that their goal is the protection of ‘wild salmon‘ in the Columbia Basin, damn the human beings who might suffer or die due to such premature shutdowns with filings jointly submitted by the federal government and eco groups requesting a multiyear pause on the litigation to allow for the implementation of the package as soon as Dec. 15, 2023.
So, starting to see the ‘big picture’? As we’ll explore within the remainder of this story, it’s not just power plants in the state of Maryland and the state of Washington that are now at risk due to environmental groups teaming with ‘big government‘ to shut down America’s power supplies in a mad rush towards appeasing environmental groups w/o first getting the proper replacements in place.
