The U.S. east coast is having trouble producing enough renewable energy for itself ever since the Canadian wildfires first started.
According to reports, the smoke covering the skies is preventing sunlight from reaching solar panels, which are now producing 56 percent less energy at times of peak demand during the wildfires compared to before they began.
PJM Interconnection LLC, a regional grid operator that covers Illinois all the way North Carolina, says its solar generation capacity has dropped by 25 percent since the wildfires started.

Naturalnews.com reports: While wildfires such as this are more typical to the western United States, these eastern fires are giving the other side of the country a taste of what happens when weather events interfere with “renewable” energy.
The corporate-controlled media is blaming “climate change,” but the fact of the matter is that wildfires happen. And when they do, the skies can turn a hazy brown or orange, preventing natural sunlight from reaching power-generating solar panels.
Sure, they might be “green” and produce no “emissions.” But when a wildfire occurs, they end up producing no electricity, either. This is the situation across New England and parts of the Midwest.
“With a situation like this, it’s really unprecedented,” said Matt Kakley, a spokesperson for ISO-New England. “We don’t have a lot of historical data to look back on. There is some learning in real time.”
Fortunately for New England, solar amounts to only about 3 percent of overall power generation across the region, so the losses are minimal. However, if the left gets its wishes, all energy generation will become some combination of solar and wind, both of which fail to work when weather conditions are less than optimal.
Keep in mind that coal, oil, and gas all run no matter what the weather is like. It is only “renewable” energy that has trouble keeping up when the air is stale or when there is so much smoke in the sky that you can barely see the sun anymore.
Weather conditions must be perfect, in other words, for “renewable” sources to be reliable. Since the weather is always changing, “renewable” energy output will also always be highly variable.
One of the hardest-hit states right now is New York, which lost 1,466 megawatts (MW) in solar production between June 6 and June 7.
“For a sense of scale, a single megawatt is roughly enough electricity to power 800 to 1,000 homes,” reported The Verge.
On the flip side, all that smoke has reportedly lessened temperatures throughout the region, which means fewer people are having to run their air conditioning units just to stay cool. Not that you can open windows with all that smoke.
The Biden regime is scheming ways to convert all of the nation’s electricity to “pollution-free” sources like solar by the year 2035 – even though it requires a whole lot of “dirty” energy to make all those solar panels in the first place.
Back in September 2020, historic wildfires in California cut solar power generation in the Golden State by about 30 percent. Unlike New England, California relies much more on solar energy, which amounts to about 14 percent of the state’s energy production.
During that same year, a record number of blackouts occurred from all the extreme weather and associated fires.
No My dad spent 20 tears working at Conservation and Land Management and the Greens globally enforced policies that set the world up to become a fire hazards and the government’s let them .Moloch’s style policues .They made it illegal to clear fallen branches and flammable materials organic materials ,and changed fire burn off regulations and every other thing they could to turn everywhere into serious fire risk s And no one was allowed to stop them or even say anything .And they used saving “every creeping crawling thing “as their motivation .Meanwhile in reality they have burned to death agonisingly millions of sheeo cows horses dogs koalas snakes lizards insects bees nests abt nests birds nest baby fledglings every living thing in a Hell .
Look Coal becomes diamonds Diamonds are crystalline structures which have enermous potential for amazing powers. But people are idiots. Gas is in the earth for a reason which is not to be used to cook your bacon.
People are simply stupid
They should be eating raw vegetables. They don’t need stoves.
They don’t need farms.
They’re morons who have let themselves be led like sheep to the slaughter by their own stupid compliance.
So dumb they don’t even know how to feed themselves a healthy diet.
They go to work and incur debts for decades of labour just to buy rubbish they don’t even need really. Especially in the southern hemisphere but even the Eskimos just made an igloo out of some ice blocks. Sensible.And people weren’t bored stupid before they got TV.
People have probably never been more bored than today ever.
It’s amazing how much bullshirt you can pack into just a few sentences.
Well done!
Haha Yeah your so retarded it’s amazing you can read more than the usual two line comments posted by your peers.
You are obviously suffering with the low IQs often found in Kwashiorker patients. The brain goes first, then the gut, heart, then organs. Good luck with that and please, I’m begging you…STAY VEGAN.
For Zionists Solar is just enough as the world will be minus 96% of human habitation in 10 years; that’s the Plan.
Too bad for the green loonies who fell for the solar power hoax.
Your another idiot There’s nothing wrong with solar power It’s sensible you fool. As if there’s going to be fires like that everyday Grow up you total loser Try to scrape together the remnants of your irradiated grey matter into some semblance of a normal brain I know it’s, impossible and every day you and your little band of fake names and the other retards here all publically demonstrate to the whole world the ugly American, brainless clueless idiotic and arrogant. Just exactly like disqus want you to do.
Solar panels contain substances lethally toxic to the environment. They also have a 10-20 year planned obsolescence – so as soon as you’re done paying for them you’ll need new ones. And because they’re so shockingly expensive to dispose of these companies selling them often go out of business before that bill comes due. Then homeowner’s are left footing it, which translates to piles of rotting solar panels poisoning the environment *somewhere.*
And don’t get me started on the ponzi scheme it all is with all your solar energy wired back to feeding the grid and only offering you “credit” toward your electric bills, instead of giving you real energy to power to your home. Making them useless during blackouts.
This is called a racket.
England’s solar panels have a silicone layer so that they don’t work if there’s too much sun ☀ aka like a normal summer day.
And ill bet they’re putting that silicone on them all because they want URANIUM mining riches.

CHINA! WORLD NOW!!!!
Ask Joe this: Hey Joe, have you set any Canadian forest fires lately?
The Forests are really too cold to burn, as the Earth is now in the Super Grand Solar Minimum.
Wait, this should excite them. Their rationale for chemtrails is to “block the sun to cool global warming,” but if mother nature does it it’s climate change and bad(?) and all our fault of course.
And there’s nothing green about sustainable energy, if it wasn’t for (child) slave labor they couldn’t afford to produce it. That’s why mining is done in Africa and not in 1st world countries like America where there’s plenty of lithium deposits to harvest.
