Governor Jay Inslee (D-Washington) sent an eerie letter to his supporters on Monday predicting that they are in for a summer of "blackouts, destruction, and death" over the alleged climate crisis.
The letter was sent directly after Gov. Inslee gave tacit support for destroying four dams along the Snake River which account for 8 percent of Washington's annual electricity generation, Environmental Director of Washington Policy Center Todd Meyers reports."Last week, @GovInslee gave implicit support to destroying the Snake River dams and 8% of Washington's electricity generation. Today he sent an email warning about electricity shortages this summer. #waleg," Myers tweeted Monday.
The email warned that heightened temperatures will "catastrophically" disrupt electrical grids nationwide, resulting in death.
"It's shaping up to be a deadly summer," the email reads.
"As the climate crisis worsens, we're facing the most extreme weather in history. While Washington state faced the wettest start to the summer in over 70 years, other states are preparing for sweltering temperatures that will catastrophically disrupt our fragile electrical grid. That means blackouts, destruction, and death. Just look at the headlines."
Governor Inslee and Senator Patty Murray (D-Washington) released a draft report in early June, saying that breaching the Snake River dams would allegedly be the best way to save Snake River salmon that are on the Endangered Species List. Center Square reports that the proposal would cost taxpayers between $10.3 billion and $27.2 billion, as finding other ways to provide irrigation and electricity does not come as an easy feat.Meyers has long warned about removing the dams from Snake River which has been a topic of discussion in the state for decades, stating that the removal of the dams would be akin to "destroying every wind turbine and solar panel in Washington."
"Annually, the dams generate about 8.3 million megawatt hours of electricity, or 8 percent of Washington's energy," Meyers wrote in a piece for The Seattle Times. "That is more clean energy than is provided by all the wind and solar facilities in Washington state added together."During legislative session earlier this year, Gov. Inslee vetoed House Bill 1623 to address the "risk of rolling blackouts and power supply inadequacy events," despite the bill unanimously passing through both the state's House and Senate."Ensuring that our electricity grid continues to reliably provide power to Washingtonians is a priority for me as well, which is why we have multiple state agencies already working on this issue," Inslee wrote in his veto letter.

I think we can trust {government} psychos to always do and always say the right thing.
They always have before.
And so they will again.
Who is your daddy? Your governing boss?
Always do and believe in what your psycho-daddy says.
Or your psycho-mommy.
The psycho-uncle.
The psycho-aunt.
The psycho-granddad.
The psycho-grandmama.
Or the psycho-trans-bi-homo-shitfuck.
Are we clear?
Of course we are.
This is government. And government is good.
It pacifies the people.
To the point of no return.
No escape.
No future.
No past.
Just this.
This shit.
THIS GOD-DAMNED FUCKING PYSCHO-SHIT.
ned,
OUT
Perhaps I should have entitled my above comment, 'All in the Family'.
When I was in high school, there was a show on TV called, 'All in the Family'.
It starred Archie Bunker and Edith, I think it was. And someone they named 'Meathead' and someone named Sally Struthers. Or something like that. In a class, we were forced to watch it-several times. That is why I remember it. I thought it was beyond stupid. I thought then, that high school was beyond stupid....
Now here we sit, 40 , no make that 50, years later, a family, (of man) beyond even beyond stupid.
How low can we go?
How fucking low?
Duh.
ned,

Guy with the boxing gloves and the guy with the racquetball racket are hilarious.
It really does seem like a good way to allow the public to try and "persuade" their representatives to act in their interest
People like Klaus, Bill et al. are panicked at this point. What's their strength? They have consolidated money, power, and assets for generations. To catalogue everything on the planet reveals more a deep distrust of themselves and their own methods/motives.
Inslee is obviously having to create panic and desperation in his state.
People who vote for this shit should be punched in the face, repeatedly.
Good. Been waiting...
COVID-1984 was just the opening-act. Now the real show is about to start. I'm keeping my "cyanide pills" close at hand. It'll be better than what the government has planned for us, and there will be no escape. When I hear them coming up the stairs, I will "shed my human container", thereby denying them the pleasure of murdering me. That's the great thing about a 6th floor apartment with no elevator, lol. Nobody can sneak up on me, the stairs are creaky AF. I harbored fantasies of staying alive & hidden with my stored food & medicines, enough to last 20 years, but that was just a fantasy. For most of us, it's over, and no amount of preparation can save us. ๐คท If you plan on trying to stay alive, get your routes planned, and figure out how to hide your heat-signature, because the drones will see infrared. I wonder if I should buy an Emergency Escape-Ladder on Amazon, just in case I have an opportunity to flee out the window๐ค... but, nah. Can't hide from the drones' infrared with just a foil space blanket.
