“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.

Even former Gov. Gray Davis admitted the culprit is the state’s anti-fossil fuel policies. “The bottom line is, people don’t want lights to go down,” he told Politico. “People also want a carbon-free future. Sometimes those two aspirations come into conflict.”

One's an aspiration, the other is civilization.

“...power shortages are inevitable...”

Terrific!

A whole new ‘batch’ of California Socialists whelped in 9 months hence. :(

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.

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.
