On Sunday, The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article what happened in America Christmas weekend because of the extreme weather. It should be noted that extreme weather in the winter (particularly in the northern parts of the country) is not all that unusual.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A number of U.S. utility companies called on customers to conserve electricity due to frigid weather on Saturday and Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Con Edison, which serves the New York City metropolitan area, asked its 1.1 million natural gas, 3.5 million electric, and other customers in New York City to conserve power<\/a>. Temperatures in the Big Apple plunged to about 15 degrees F overnight on Saturday and Sunday morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cConserving energy as much as possible now will help ensure adequate natural gas supplies for the rest of the weekend,\u201d Con Edison said late on Saturday. \u201cOwners of natural gas pipelines have reported that equipment problems caused by the cold weather and the heavy demand for natural gas are challenging their ability to provide adequate amounts of gas throughout the Northeast,\u201d the utility company added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another, ISO New England, warned Saturday that it has \u201cinsufficient reserve supplies\u201d and called on its members to\u00a0\u201cvoluntarily curtail power\u201d due to strain on the power grid, reported Bloomberg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have declared a power caution for the region, and [are] calling upon reserve resources due to the unexpected loss of generation and imports,\u201d ISO New England spokesman Matthew Kakley told Bloomberg News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duke Energy, which operates across several states, made a similar demand to customers earlier on Saturday, according<\/a> to a news release. It cited tight supplies due to heavy energy use and exceptionally cold temperatures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

America has vast resources of natural gas (an environmentally clean-burning fuel) and is capable of building adequate pipelines and refineries to get that natural gas to where it needs to go to keep everyone warm and snug in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer. What is the motivation of our political class in keeping Americans from using their natural resources to stay safe and warm?<\/p>\n

There is no excuse for not being able to deal with extreme winter weather in one of the supposedly most civilized countries in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
