But, but with all these green energy plants built, I thought that our power needs were dealt with! Aren’t we saving enough with the incandescent bulbs banned???

Yet another failure in green energy.

In the past Westinghouse built steam generators in Pensacola, FL. That plant was closed long ago. Now the equipment has to be sourced from overseas. I’m curious what tube material they used.

Supposedly water chemistry porblems were the cause of the original steam generator tube failures. That’s been known for quite a while. It’ll be interesting to find out what happened at San Onofre this time around.

Exactly, with all the solar panels and wind mills out in the desert, we should be able to sustain this with ease... Maybe Obama will come out and campaign during a brown out, and tell every one how great green energy is...

Electricity is dangerous and California will be safer without it. Without the bright lights at night Californian can return to the habits of their hunter-shopper ancestors.

Down with electricity! If you can't see the stuff, you don't need it!

I agree. The greenies should be forced to give up the use of all electricity created using nuclear energy, petroleum products, coal, and hydro - regardless of where the electricity is generated. And wind because the windmill farms kill birds. And solar because it creates micro environmental changes.

So the State will shut off our power, in the meantime they are releasing thousands and thousands of convicts, unsupervised, no parole, into the general public on a weekly basis and then they make it a Felony to just about even Own a Gun let alone use it, thereby guaranteeing your ARREST and prosecution for Daring to Defend Yourself. One seriously F**ked Up State

California keeps losing capacity and the green folks may turn a brown out brown.

I had forgotten about that aspect. Maybe the moral of the story is “Be careful what you wish for.”
