The RoanokeSlant

-
Roanoke and New River fluctuations of 7-feet in 8-hours to result from hydro-dam water releases required to support the electric grid shortfalls due to Virginia government renewables malfeasance!
-
The reality of the need for 100% BackUp of the unreliable and intermittent ‘Renewable Energy Systems’ is now clear for all to see; even for those who are too blind to see.  And it's only 92-F, what to do when it gets hot?
-
Ex.Va.D.Gov Northam and his 100% Renewable Jihad is just starting to kick-in and already the grid energy shortfalls caused by shutting down the fossil-fueled electric generators is resulting in bad outcomes.

The ‘grid water-battery backup’ of the Roanoke River SML hydro-dams is very limited and ‘recharging the dams’ takes significant time and in the low-water summer months it's ineffective as a 'water-battery backup'.
The USGS Roanoke River flow data shows
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=02055000
that for seven (7) consecutive years, if there were no release or pump-back from SML dam, the lake would rise less than a foot a month during the three summer months.

It is unfathomable that state and federal governments can be so consumed by ‘The Gore-Greta-Kerry AGW Jihad’ that they can not and will not develop and implement grid power plans that provide ‘affordable 100% 24-7-365 Grid Power Reliability’!
Is that not their responsibility?

Appalachian Power warns river users about increasing water levels

Water levels on the New and Roanoke rivers could rise rapidly starting Tuesday and continue to fluctuate throughout the week due to increasing temperatures, Appalachian Power said Saturday.
Water levels below Claytor Dam could increase up to two feet “in a matter of minutes,” according to Appalachian Power. Water levels below Leesville Dam could increase as much as eight feet over a seven-hour period.
The power company has issued a warning to recreational river users downstream of two of it's hydroelectric dams: the Claytor Dam on the New River and the Leesville Dam on the Roanoke River near Altavista.
The National Weather Service has predicted temperatures next week in the mid-80s to 90s. Appalachian Power has been told by PJM, the independent regional transmission organization that manages the electric grid in 13 states, that power generation may need to be increased at its hydroelectric plants to maintain the reliability of the regional electric grid.
