The United States is behind the curve on clean, affordable sources of electricity. It's time to modernize our antiquated electrical grid and nuclear energy power industry.
America and all modern industrial societies are completely dependent on inexpensive and reliable sources of energy for quality of life and economic prosperity. Electricity, and ever expanding applications of carbon based fuels have allowed mankind to progress in ways that would have been inconceivable at any other point in human history.
Quite literally, the sky's the limit in technological and societal advancement, which seems to cause enormous concern for those determined to control us all from cradle to grave and who see humans as environmentally destructive and expendable…

Guest: Randal Pinocci has served on the Montana Public Service Commission for seven years, representing North Central and Eastern Montana. He previously served in the Montana Legislature, worked as Statewide Director for U.S. Senator Conrad Burns, and has held leadership roles in multiple statewide political campaigns. Pinocci is deeply involved in energy policy, grid reliability, and ratepayer protection, bringing firsthand experience on how utilities operate and how America’s electrical infrastructure is managed.

…The logic follows that anyone wanting to destroy any modern industrial economy would target their power generation and distribution systems as a high, if not the highest priority to destroying their wealth and the thin veneer of civilization they currently enjoy. For the past 50+ years we have sensed, and more recently seen radical environmental movements and their mainstream media quislings undermine our culture with attacks on our most fundamental American institutions; slicing and dicing our culture as fascist, racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, and other highly pejorative terms. This was not by accident. A key to American exceptionalism is our fiercely independent nature and the self reliance that comes from ingenuity and productivity. Technocracy and the modern social order have dulled, if not destroyed, much of that independence, leaving us much more vulnerable to outside control and manipulation.
The destruction of our power grid would bring our civil society to it's knees. A few days without electricity nationwide would be enormously difficult; weeks or months would be catastrophic considering how totally dependent we have become on electricity for heat, lights, refrigeration; literally everything we need to sustain daily life. Power failures, brownouts and blackouts caused by political manipulation and a 70 year old electrical infrastructure is only a glimpse of what might happen on a much larger scale if a Carrington type event or deliberate EMP attacks were to occur. There is absolutely no justification for this vulnerability since the fixes are relatively easy and inexpensive, unless the plan all along was to bring industrial society to an end and radically reduce human populations. If you want to understand this mind set; I suggest that you look at the men and women behind the movement known as U.N. Agenda 21/2030 and the Green New Deal. These globalist visionaries see mankind as a cancer on the natural balance of earth, and look forward to a massive reduction in human population and industrial development. What better way to do that than destroy our electrical capacity and transmission grid, then blame it on natural events or a rogue foreign power, leaving the main promoters of this diabolical plan in the shadows.
We should all want a clean and healthy natural environment. The easiest and best approach to accomplish that is with free markets and free market thinkers that understand basic (practical) economic theories. Socialists and totalitarian ideologues see life as a zero sum game….profit for some can only come at the expense of others. They see the world through the prism of finitely limited resources and have no concept of limitless human ingenuity. The United States has led the world in technical innovation, while simultaneously improving the natural environment. This could not have happened without the profits that come from free market economics and a sense of stewardship through personal responsibility.
Safe, affordable, and reliable energy sources are essential for modern industrial society. Clean, environmentally responsible energy is best produced with a combination of free market economics and environmental stewardship that weighs costs and benefits, with an eye on continual improvement based on new ideas and technologies. We must protect and improve what we know as proven technology until better and cleaner (cost effective and reliable) sources are made available. The events of the past several years bring that into sharp focus……..don't destroy what works until you have something better……and protect what we have from those who would attempt to control us. Environmentalists have an unnatural fear of nuclear energy which is one of the few rational alternatives to power the 50+ AI Data Centers proposed for construction over the next decade. Without clean, reliable new sources of power generation, utility rates will soar beyond the ability of many rate payers. We must consider all options and make our decisions based on free market economics and our ability to adapt to the needs of the future with an eye on cost effective technologies.
