As demand for electricity increases and the supply dries up due to the Biden’s green mandates, Americans may face blackouts this winter.
From Daily Caller. Hundreds of millions of Americans risk experiencing power shortages this winter if weather conditions are harsh, according to a new report published by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a power grid watchdog.
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
Nearly all residents of the Northeast, Texas and Midwest could face energy shortfalls in the event of a colder-than-usual winter, the NERC report states. …
NERC’s 2024–2025 WRA finds much of North America at an elevated risk of #energy shortfalls in extreme conditions. No areas are identified as having a high risk and all areas are expected to have adequate resources under normal #winter peak load conditions. https://t.co/TOPhkCZumt pic.twitter.com/kANLz4dasl

The expansion of power-hungry data centers has led to a surge in electricity demand, according to the NERC study, with consulting firm Bain projecting utilities could have to increase their annual power generation by as much as 26% by 2028. Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration has sought to reduce natural gas and coal-fired power generation, finalizing a rule in April requiring that existing coal plants use carbon capture and storage to control 90% of their carbon emissions by 2032 if they want to stay running past 2039, and that certain new natural gas plants cut their emissions 90% by 2032, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Father, I pray that You protect our country from serious power outages this winter. Keep our homes warm and well-lit through this cold season. Turn our hearts to You.
CO2 is actually good for the earth. Plants need CO2 and then they give us O2. This is just hype by the greenie evolutionists. Warm is better than cold for humans and animals.
Bev, I largely agree and of course join with you in prayer.
However, we must keep in mind that the Lord created a world in balance: too much CO2 (or heat, or water, or almost anything) is bad for all, including vegetation, and that is what we need to avoid.
Father in heaven, protect our electricity grid from attack, from loss, from evil stewards. I thank You for the miracle of electricity and indoor heat. Father protect the innocent, elderly, weak, disabled, widowed and poor from being left in the cold this winter. We rely on Your soverienty, love and great mercy and put our hope in You, in Jesus name, we come and boldly, placing our hope in You for this to be so, as it is in heaven, let it be on Earth.
Lord, these “possible” blackouts are not a given, and in Your economy they don’t have to happen, regardless of the warnings – so please be merciful. First and foremost I will not fear, for You will provide for Your own. Please grant Your people wisdom about how to prepare, both individually – and home by home. But also please help decision makers at the governmental and corporate levels to be wise and discerning – not pandering to the agendas of those who worship the creation instead of the Creator. Please protect our power grid. Please remediate extreme weather so the strain on our power supply will be alleviated. Help us to be mindful of those who are most vulnerable, and show Your compassion to them in practical ways. You are Sovereign Lord over all!!
Yes, Lord, I pray that You help us use wise judgement, as we think toward winter. May we prepare ourselves, our families, and communities for weather challenges as much as possible.
Great prayer , Mary Beth! I agree! In Jesus name, Amen!
Keep praying
Lord you are the great provider, we ask you to provide the natural resources that it takes to keep our electricity running without any blackouts . Lord what they intend for evil turn this around for your GLORY in Jesus name I pray. Lord take their hands off of our weather patterns and bring it totally under your control. Lord remove the enemies hands from our weather and our power grids . You alone our Lord the one true GOD , Please Lord give our people your DIVINE wisdom and protect TRUMP and JD VANCE , make a clear path for them, when they get tired , lift them up and give them your strength in Jesus name I pray. We ask for your divine protection over AMERICA.
Lord prepare your people and keep them underneath the shelter of your wing in your holy name amen! Yeshua
Lord, may the new administration wisely steward our natural resources. May the leaders of agencies be “for” the people, the purpose for which our government is established. Amen.
