“Caiso in part blamed cloud cover, weak winds...” That is what you get with so-called green power. It is just not reliable due to natural events. If the sun isn’t shining, you have no solar power. If the wind isn’t blowing, you have no wind power. When you have a substantial portion of your power sources that are unreliable just due to mother nature, you are going to have times you do not have enough power. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
ooooh. So sorry.
Whatever rocket scientists are still left in California are keeping a low profile these days.
I think a little wrong. 95% of Dems can’t figure this out.
One's an aspiration, the other is civilization.
Yeah, they are now turning Aerojet’s rocket motor testing area into a big park and housing development. 50 years ago, those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end...
Remember the Soviets always blamed the weather for bad grain harvests.
“...power shortages are inevitable...”
Terrific!
A whole new ‘batch’ of California Socialists whelped in 9 months hence. :(
The recently released prison inmates are now running the California Asylum!!!
Well...if you have to ask...you’ll never know! LOL!
I keep hoping they end up having days-long power outages, even weeks. Everyone but the Cher-level kooks will be ready to put some adults in charge.
Mussolini won by promising to make the trains run on time. A conservative could someday win in CA by promising to keep the A/C running.

Santa Susanna?
I hope they have a yabba dabba doo time.
Fifty years ago many of the “Back-to-nature” magazines opposed nukes, coal and hydro. They came up with quite a few hare brained schemes to replace them with “natural renewable sources.” They sounded so good on paper one magazine paid $10,000 out of it’s own account to build a small updated version of a “perpetual motion” machine. It didn’t work.
Now they just tell you what you “need to do” but will not put up the cash to prove it.
I don’t think so, it’s just an old tune from the olden days like from before we went to the moon. You know... when CA was still somewhat “golden”
Now they just tell you what you need to do but will not put up the cash to prove it.
I lived in Hendersonville NC for a while in the late 1970s. At that time, a magazine called Mother Earth News was published in Hendersonville. They rented a building in the downtown area, not on the main street, but one street off the main street I think.
The parking lot behind their building was fenced off, but inside there were all kinds of weird looking machines with large wheels, bicycle chains, flaps and prop blades and various geometries of wind turbines and water turbines. I think they had erected a Darrieus type turbine, but I never saw it turning.
It all looked like the product of a brief burst of constructive activity that had taken place a few years before I got there, and had stopped soon after. I never saw anyone there, in the rear lot or otherwise, and I never saw any of the contraptions moving.
This would have been in 1978 or 1979.
