Blue State Blues: “Prepare Now”: Substation Failure Puts Baltimore at Risk of “Widespread” Blackout
11th August 2025
Shades of Atlas Shrugged.
Over a million residents across central Maryland, particularly in the Baltimore metro, were warned moments ago by the local utility that a substation failure linked to a major power plant could trigger widespread blackouts this afternoon. The alert comes barely a week after President Trump handed Maryland Governor Wes Moore and the Democratic Party in Annapolis a political lifeline to prevent power blackouts, underscoring the fragility of the state’s power grid under the weight of failed Democrat-driven green energy policies.
Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has asked all 1.3 million of its electric customers in central Maryland “to conserve electricity to reduce the potential for widespread outages this afternoon and evening, due to a power plant experiencing an unplanned disconnection from the BGE electric system.”
Time to leave.

Isn’t the Texas grid in the same shape due to windmills and solar panels?

Unfortunately yes. The Texas government bureaucracy is just as bad as every other government bureaucracy. Of course GOD FORBID that any serious enterprise be left alone without government nosybodies looking over every available shoulder.
That’s why my wife and I have an emergency generator (GENERAC) so we don’t have to depend on the undependable.
