First I'd just like to denote that having rolling blackouts in the middle of a population exodus is very Rand dystopian-ish.



Second ... LOL @ Cali "green" tech:

taking a dump on the sidewalk 'fertilizes'...

Well, I guess San Francisco has excess electricity they can sell to other Cali cities!!

........feel good politics with unintended consequences. Who would have guessed?

Whats really funny is that they have a lot of homes setup for grid-tie solar. But grid tie solar stops generating when the grid is cut. Its like when they roll a blackout to an area that has a lot of solar, they cut even more power generation.

Don't think that the people running California have any idea what they are doing. I can attest to you that they don't.

California outsourced their power needs by closing all of their combustion/nuclear plants and going all in with renewables.

I only welcome the fall of California should Trump win reelection. Biden will make all of us pay for California's mistakes with a Federal bailout.

At one point, they CA didnt want any combustion plants in their state to pollute their air. So they purchased power from Mexico, who generated the power from a combustion plant that sat about 3 miles from the CA border.

idiots.......

If your elected officials are going to go Peak Venezuela, the blackouts are kind of a must.

Nice touch, Kalifornistan.

Yeah, but that coal ash only drifted over their Republican counties so no big deal.
