Can’t they just turn the solar panels toward the fires.

I propose we start turning the power off for a 5 mile radius of the personal residence of every Public Employee in the State.

Well, guess you ( .gov econazis) shouldn’t have pissed away all our hydro to the ocean as fast as you could.

LOL, actually it’s not that bad. The trick is not to have too big a variance between inside and outside. Half the time I don’t bother to turn on the AC in the van.

Nothing wrong with that.

Over 110 here yesterday and I cool this place with a 16,000 watt window air conditioner at around 75 to 80.

2 inches of wood on the walls, with house wrap and good insulation.

The prospect of outages did not bother Californians. Many customers continued to use appliances, air conditioning, and at-home electric vehicle chargers despite conservation pleas from California Independent System Operator (CAISO).

WHAT? All the California communards are only in it for themselves? How very selfish of them? What happened to the "We are all in this together" ethic and "all for one and one for all"?

We should all heed these wonderful democrat communist aphorisms and sayings. The RevComDems will save us!

I got enough solar so that in a pinch I can cool a small room down using a window air unit... and enough lithium batteries to carry it through the night if need be.

Same for winter, I should be able to use an electric blanket.

It would be a meager and miserable existence...I would have my Ham gear to amuse myself with. Imagine listening to all the distress calls :-/

As long as the sun shines, and I should have reserves for 3 days if the sun don’t shine.

But what else ya gonna do...

I need to get a small woodstove.
I have 40 acres of saplings and a rechargeable chainsaw.. not exactly Paul Bunyan but I think I could keep warm.

I hope all this stuff just ends up in boxes, like the emergency radios and such my Mom got for the Y2K panic.

California is ten years late in building nuclear, electrical power generating plants.

SRP.

Last year I added extra attic insulation and replaced the two A/Cs. It helped.

People are SICK TO DEATH of being told what to do AND they know that EVERY STINKING one of the RULING CLASS are sitting home using whatever appliances they want!! The people KNOW the ruling class are the CAUSE of the problems and they are not willing anymore to change their lifestyles like they did for Covid!!

What you say will be proven true IF and only IF voters wake up, see the error of their ways, and change their voting patterns. Sadly, I think we are too far gone for that.

CA is already exporting captive “Green” energy projects to neighboring states.
Too ugly or environmentally caustic for their own lands but just fine to saddle other states with.
I am tired of their eyesores.
And by captive I mean that ALL power generated goes to CA.
And CA still buys NV (And other states) power when they run short.
This a shell-game they play to remain in compliance with their “Green” mandates.
