Heat Dome Threatens America's 250th Birthday As Power Grid Crisis Continues
A massive heat dome continues to threaten the eastern half of the US, with the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast at the epicenter of the sweltering conditions.
The summer heat is already disrupting July 4 celebrations and World Cup matches, while pushing the nation's largest power grid toward crisis mode later this afternoon for the third consecutive day.
The annual Independence Day Parade in Washington, DC, set for later today was canceled "due to extreme heat," organizers said in an overnight memo.
Cooling demand will surge again later today, just as PJM faces a record load. The grid that serves 67 million people across 13 states has held up so far because of the Trump administration's emergency orders requiring fossil-fuel power plants to run at full capacity. This comes as disastrous climate socialist policies have neutered parts of the grid that collided with a data center boom.
A soul-crushing "He...

The Fuel-Mix Saving America's Largest Grid From Blackouts Today
Power prices soared on Thursday across PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest grid operator serving 67 million people across 13 states, as a brutal multi-day heat dome pushed electricity demand toward critically high levels and raised the risk of rolling blackouts.
Ahead of triple-digit temperatures today across the Mid-Atlantic, including Washington, DC, Baltimore, and New York, PJM has declared a level 2 grid emergency and ordered emergency load reductions.
The alert, one step below a warning of imminent rolling blackouts, applied across PJM's territory from Illinois to Washington, DC.
Under North American Electric Reliability Corp. definitions, an Energy Emergency Alert 2 means the grid operator can no longer meet expected requirements but is still maintaining minimum contingency reserves.
GridStatus data shows the PJM grid was kept afloat Thursday almost entirely by natural gas, nuclear, and coal. As of Friday morning, t...

America Bets $50 Billion On Coal And Gas Power, More Than China, As Electricity Demand Soars
By Irina Slav of OilPrice.com
US companies are set to spend some $50 billion on power generation from coal and natural gas this year, the International Energy Agency has said, as quoted by the Financial Times.
This would be the first time in decades that US spending on coal and gas generation would be higher than what China is investing in the two fuels, with the difference at $3 billion.
The surge in spending will come mostly from much stronger demand for gas turbines amid a data center boom in the United States, the FT noted in its report. According to the IEA, US companies placed orders for some 20 GW in gas turbine generation capacity in just the first quarter of this year. Prices for gas turbines, meanwhile, have moved sharply higher on tight supply, contributing to the higher U.S. spending.
The report cited a Rystad Energy analyst as saying prices for gas turbines have gone up from $800 per kWh t...
