CA bought power from neighboring states and gavin was "proactive" in telling people to ration their electricity
SMH.


one of the comments:

"6. We've burned a helluva lot of natural gas doing it.

Burning fossil fuels, is of course, what got us into this mess."

more geniusing

"11. We are asked to conserve during particularly hot stretches. This isn't new.

We are asked this in other states as well. Newsom wants to extend the use of our remaining nuclear plant as we transition. He also knows that some people will not conserve but there are those of us that will. Every little bit helps most of the time.

Rolling brown/blackouts are not common but they are used when needed. If this occurs it's better to have a couple of hours without power than a whole day or even days.

12. They are asking you not to charge your car during peak hours, 4 pm to 9 pm.

My Tesla charges overnight when energy use is low. And by 2035, the infrastructure should be much better than it is today.

That post should be bookmarked to make fun of that idiot later, at least before bans fly in.

Cali isn’t spending on infrastructure now and they are pushing hard for large draws of power for electric cars.


Just because you take ICEs out of play doesn’t mean that unicorn farts will magically power everything.

It's fricking 95 degrees here, with high humidity, from mid April til
mid October. And we've never had rolling blackouts, or been told how high to set our thermostats.

California is a liberal shite hole, ran by liberal shitheads.

10. I'm in the same boat

I'm in Northern Calif (Napa near Lake Berryessa)

Our HVAC needs Freon. It works, but is blowing warm air. It is so old (35+ years) that it only takes the illegal kind (22). I plan on replacing it (said it would be around 20K), but not until next year when I can get a reverse mortgage on the house. So for now, I bought a small room portable AC for my 80 year old mom's room. My room is on the ground floor and stays somewhat cooler.

Overnight, the low got down to 80. I was able to get it down to 81 downstairs. Upstairs was over a 100!!! INSIDE. Outside yesterday it got up to 114. The day before was 111.

Is it October yet? I hate summers any more. Between fire scares and water shortages, and now this. I just want to skip summers from now on.

I want this to be over! Where is the San Francisco Fog? We NEED you!




I almost feel bad for people like this ,but John Wayne did say it best, "life is hard when you're stupid."

Maybe it is just a coincidence but a streamer I was watching earlier from California had to end their stream because of a power outage.

Jesse Kelly said it best-

Californians watching the lights go out while gigantic oil tankers leave their ports full of oil destined for other countries might just be the best example of communism in the history of communism.

He's there hero in the making. First you hold every one down and then when they are let up they cheer you. There is a syndrome for this.

I had some stock in a company named Morant, an offshoot of Georgia Power (SO NYSE).

Around 2000 or so, California was in a similar crisis. Morant was unable to fire up power plants in California because of environmental concerns, but provided electricity from plants outside their border. This caused the price to go up.

quote:

Pacific Gas & Electric filed for bankruptcy protection one week ago, listing assets of more than $24 billion and debts of $18 billion, including more than $9 billion in uncollected costs for power purchases. The utility's creditor list is so long and varied that creditors are expected to form numerous subgroups based on the type of claim they hold against the company.


Morant never got paid.

He shoots the video in like a 65 degree studio wearing a sweater or pullover during filming but tells you to raise your AC to 78 degrees

Imagine praising government for “solving” a problem created by that very same government.


These people are insane.
