“December 23, 24. In nine states there were rolling blackouts. We couldn’t get gas to the plants. All the peakers were running on oil those days, and we still had blackouts. NERC said we have this, disorderly retirement of generating assets in this country putting us at greater risk. My membership is concerned. We’re trying to be a voice of reason.”
