California is facing shortages of water and electricity.
Democrat politicians are turning California into a backward, corrupt third world dictatorship.
They’ll blame Trump, and their brain-dead voters will believe them.
Kwick, permanently destroy the desert and all the creatures that call it home by building tens of thousands of square miles of solar panels across the mojave and sonoran desert and throw in thousands of tons of concrete and raptor shredders across hundreds of miles of previously pristine mountain tops.
“...Democrat politicians are turning California into a backward, corrupt third world dictatorship...”
Yes, and here is just one example. They REFUSE to build more water capacity because the enviro-whackos give too much money to the RAT party. They will not build more reservoirs to compensate for the shortage of water.
That is just the beginning of a long list of what they are doing to the state...all FOR POWER AND CONTROL.
OH Bull$hit.. the available power is 50k megawatts and the demand rarely exceeds 40K megawatts since running out all the large business firms, Canaries, and manufacturing. Last time they had a big demand was about 2006. CAISO.
Nope.
They have to turn off the power to prevent fires.
They told us so.
Gerbils! More gerbils running the wheels will solve this! Either that or whale oil.
NO CRACKPIPE
They think the environment is more important than people so this is as expected and by design. If green energy can’t meet the demand, oh well. Can’t build another power plant. Too harmful.
No wonder they are requiring the solar panels on new homes. It may be expensive to the homeowners, but it will make a real dent in their electricity usage.
This hideous failure brought to you by Schwarzenegger’s brainchild, AB 32, the Global Warming beel. Thanks, Ah-nuhld!
Need a few nuke plants out there.
Once they lose electricity for a while, they might be just a tad less prone to hug those trees!
Couldn’t care less.
I don’t heat or cool my home. I have a very wide tolerance range for temperatures.
Several weeks ago I rode my mo-ped six miles one way up hill to see my parents in 113 degree heat. And yes, I did peddle along the way. “:^)
California’s leadership might as well be living in the 1800s as behind the times and misguided as they are.
They could promote nuclear energy and desalinization plants along our coast to provide needed energy, and necessary for human life, fresh water.
Instead they are busy tracking people who purchase ammunition.
First things first... we may have many dead people at some point, but at least we’ll know what ammunition they’ve been buying.
"Expected power demand is expected to outstrip California’s available generating capacity by about 5,000 megawatts on Tuesday, according to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO)."
Noting the summer ’17 dates on the following articles, I guess that I shouldn’t be surprised to see contradictory information about what’s going on in California.
California invested heavily in solar power. Now there's so much that other states are sometimes paid to take it —LA Times, June 22, 2017
California’s electrical grid can’t handle all the solar energy the state is producing (July 20, 2017)
Corrections, insights welcome.
boo hoo.....
How's all that renewable wind and solar power working for you now?
Welcome to Bartertown!
California and New York depend upon America to bail them out of their mistakes. That is why they must control Congress.
You get the government you voted for...green energy and higher prices to consumers and in higher usage periods power shortages. Welcome to utopia.
“California was warned months ago?”
This has a been a problem in California and the entire Southwest for as long as I can remember.
It’s all Enron’s fault. This all so makes it Bush’s fault.
Remember when that was a Meme here? Did the have memes yet?
I've been hearing these "grid horror stories" for the past 30 years.
If the dam grid doesn't get wiped out from an EMP, it wont matter because global warming is going overload it and it'll fail anyway.
Then the slimy politicians wring their hands until nothing happens and then they never do a thing about the problem until they start crying during the next crisis.
If any grid in the country goes down now, the people serviced by that section deserve what they get.
We've known that we are supposed to be susceptible in this area and have done absolutely nothing about it.
