Yet Mainers are questioning whether to accept a new 145-mile electric transmission line that will bring hydropower from Quebec into the New England power grid, removing 3.0 Million tons of regional CO2 per year, and providing energy cost savings to Mainers ($40 million per year in savings) and others in New England. What gives?

Hillary Clinton’s climate change plan , released last week, centers on two goals: installing 500 million solar panels by 2021, and, relatedly, adding enough electric generation capacity from renewable sources to supply all residential electricity needs. The second component of Clinton’s plan is a “Clean Energy Challenge.”

In the classic “ Duck Curve ” scenario, overall grid electricity demand will be low on a relatively cool day due to reduced use of air-conditioning, and solar energy will make up a greater portion of total energy use. In the evening, energy demand suddenly increases when solar power does not function.

Similar extreme cold weather caused grid emergencies in 2011, 2014, 2018, and again in 2022. These recurring electric supply crises revealed the vulnerability of conventional power plants and the gas supply to cold weather. The repeated failures in cold weather reflect outmoded thinking about both gas and extreme cold weather.
