West warned its green agenda would create ‘Third World’ power interruptions

When was the last time you were stuck in an elevator due to a power blackout? Or patients at your local hospital were put at risk for the same reason?

These are very common occurrences in the energy impoverished Third World. And they could become a reality for many in the West if deluded leaders there continue down the path of “green-energy” decarbonization.

A rare inconvenience usually associated with bad weather in the West, power blackouts are everyday events in the East. In my southern India hometown, I recently had to climb the stairs of a multi-story apartment not once but many times for lack of electricity.

I am among the lucky to live in a building that provides sufficient power backup to allow me to work for at least three hours during outages. However, others do not have backup and spend nights in complete darkness for hours at a stretch. Many small-scale industries suffer due to intermittent electricity supply — losing profit and sometimes damaging machinery.

Even worse, power interruptions put at risk pregnant women and other patients at local health care centers and destroy medicines such as vaccines when storage coolers shut down. Other everyday challenges include loss of running water supplied by electric pumps, making the simple act of washing clothes difficult if not impossible, and a loss of home refrigeration and air conditioning. – READ MORE
