Californicatia.

Could very well be Texas. The state has been underperforming in the area of energy.

Kalifornia....

It's going to be 96 degrees tomorrow. My wife ordered a Philips tower fan 5000 series CX5535 because all we currently have is a small fan. Thing was dropped off on a pallet. A heavy wooden pallet that I had to drag to the street. My FIL bought an indoor air conditioner that is being properly installed today.

I bought plastic ice cubes that contain water so I can place them individually (instead of a large ice-tray) in our freezer (which isn't very large).

Our desert heat hits California hard this weekend, with a threat of fires.

PGE has pre-warned.

GET OUT !

Right after CA and TX, I’m going to say New Mexico. Even though we had wonderful power generation in the past that made use of readily available coal and natural gas, we now get to play keep up with CA and TX for solar and wind. Why, just last week, La Gobernadora mandated that 43% of all new cars (and 20% of all new trucks) sold in Nuevo Meheeco by 2027 will be electric. On the same day, we were being asked by the powers that be to turn our thermostats to 78 during the day, 82 at night, and 86 if you were away to help the grid with the coming heatwave this last week and next few weeks.

Cali. It’s always Cali.

Notice more people coming to America, fewer power plants being build and more power plants being closed but it’s Global Warming that’s the issue 🧐

Those states on the national grid all steal power from the others, based on market price. So having no energy generation is not a problem, because you just buy it from all the other states.

The problem comes down to transportability and what state has the resources to out bid the other states. That is first not California, and California.

Texas is on its own. However, it’s not possible for their electricity to be bought away from Texas, so it all stays and it’s all on them to create.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why all the other states allow some states to connect to their grid, when a state can’t meet its generation needs 99+% of the time, on its own.

Why do I want California buying my monopoly’s energy when I am the one paying for the plant?

California, Texas, maybe Nevada
