Victor Davis Hanson said CA has pulled a certain amount of power production out of the system

He used a number and a term like watts amps or something like that.
However they count electricity.

Part of CA’s green new deal compliance. Sneaky little leftists giving us rolling blackouts.

VDH lives in Fresno and is genius at political stuff.

Yes and I too like his "stuff." Plus he's near our planet's headquarters of FREE REPUBLIC in the CA Republic.

It just galls me every time one of the lame brain Democrats tries to claim we have a Demockrazy instead of a Republic when it says right on our CA flag "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC."

We do utilize a democratic process within our republican form of government and that is an important distinction. But, like with so many things... a lot of people are mentally lazy and sloppy and just think we make a distinction without much of a difference. And they just laugh it off because they couldn’t care less!!!

People also want a carbon-free future.

I question if they even understand what that future looks like. It is a future without plants, without animals. It is a future of desolate terrain, high winds, searing heat, and brutal cold. Since we are carbon-based life on a planet where life is only possible because of carbon, I have to wonder if those idiots have the slightest comprehension that what they want is a lifeless world?

“These blackouts, which occurred without prior warning or enough time for preparation ...,” Gov. Gavin Newsom declared Monday ...

... (Caiso) has been warning for years that the state’s increasing dependence on intermittent renewables, especially solar, is making it harder to ensure reliable power.

Who ya going to believe, Gov. Screwsome or the state power commission that has been blaring the ALERT klaxon for years?

This governor is as odious as The Empire State Killer, Cujo Cuomo, and that is saying a lot.
