(Natural News) The eastern United States is having a lot of trouble producing enough “renewable” energy for itself ever since the Canadian wildfires first sparked.
It turns out that all the smoke now blanketing the skies is preventing natural sunlight from reaching solar panels, which are said to be producing about 50 percent less energy as a result.
According to reports, the solar farms that power New England are producing about 56 percent less energy at times of peak demand during the wildfires compared to before they began.
PJM Interconnection LLC, a regional grid operator covering the territory spanning from Illinois to North Carolina, says its solar generation capacity has dropped by about 25 percent since the wildfires started.
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.”

“Renewable” energy is UNRELIABLE energy

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.

ECOTERRORISM CLAIM: Explosive ammonium nitrate stolen from California-bound train may have been used to ignite Canada wildfires

(Natural News) The wildfires sweeping through much of Canada’s pristine forests may have been intentionally set off using 60,000 pounds of explosive ammonium nitrate that went missing from a train bound for California last month.
This is according to analysts, including Josh Sigurdson of “World Alternative Media,” who presented evidence strongly pointing toward the possibility that the fires were a premeditated act of arson.
“This makes a lot of people wonder exactly what is going on and who benefits,” noted Sigurdson.
Most of the world’s attention has been focused on the more than 400 wildfires engulfing the eastern Canadian province of Quebec. The smoke and particulate matter from there were blown south toward New England and much of the American East Coast.
Sigurdson noted that the fires occurring in Canada have bathed much of the Northeastern U.S. in “a very strange orange color, as we’ve seen, in places like New York City.”
Coincidentally, Sigurdson noted that this is the exact color of ammonium nitrate when it burns, as is evidenced by the color of the plumes of smoke in Beirut following the massive explosion in Beirut, which was blamed on the 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate being stored in a warehouse near the epicenter of the accident.
Sigurdson further speculated that the ammonium nitrate used to start these so-called wildfires may have been taken from the U.S., when over 60,000 pounds of the chemical suddenly disappeared from a train departing Cheyenne, Wyoming and heading to California. (Related: Terror act in the works? 60,000 lbs of EXPLOSIVE ammonium nitrate MISSING from California-bound train.)
But Sigurdson makes it very clear that this is just one of the leading theories for how the fires started, noting that Canada and the U.S. have seen a lot of fires started by left-wing arsonist groups like the Black Bloc and Antifa.
Satellite imagery shows wildfires happen simultaneously

Another significant evidence of the wildfires being a planned attack, which Sigurdson said is meant to spur action against so-called climate change, is the fact that satellite imagery shows that all of the fires occurred at the same time.
Naturally, mainstream media outlets all over the U.S. and Canada were quick to denounce such claims as so-called “conspiracy theories.” The news division of Canada’s main public broadcaster is even spreading videos all over social media to debunk these claims.
“This is actually really common imagery when it comes to lightning-ignited wildfires,” said Johanna Wagstaffe, a meteorologist and seismologist and news anchor for CBC News in Canada, referring to some of the common videos spreading online showing the wildfires being spotted by satellite imagery happening at the same time.
“So, when a front rolls through bringing those lightning strikes, that’s the spark for new fires. But those thunderstorms often come with rain, so that means these fires are smoldering at first.”
“But because this year, our fuels in this area [Quebec] were so particularly dry, they can sort of hunker down until the right trigger comes into play. And that trigger is often daytime heating and the diurnal impacts of afternoon winds kicking in,” she added. “Once that dryness reaches that critical point, all of the fires are able to spread at the same time, being picked up by the afternoon winds that supply oxygen. It’s those same winds that cause that smoke to spread.”
Other outlets like the Associated Press and USA Today have published their own articles debunking the claims. These two outlets have focused on footage of firefighters conducting from a helicopter a planned burn in northeastern British Columbia, with the planned ignition supposedly meant to stop the fires from spreading by starving them of fuel.
