Californian's will soon be sitting in the dark each night as they try to figure out how to cook a meal over candle-light. Gasoline powered generators are pretty much outlawed for the little guy so that will not be a alternative.

Oh Hawaii they maintain rusty old windmills that are not connected to anything just so they can show off their wind power prowess...

Never underestimate the incompetence of leftists attempting to come even near real science.

So these clowns built solar and wind farms, but didn’t lay enough electric wire to use them? They should be shutting off natgas and other carbon and switching over to these renewables when they are generating the most... I mean, that was the entire purpose! As unreliable and untested as it is, they could at least get this much right. Government.

“Californian’s will soon be sitting in the dark each night...”


This may be all a part of the greater plan. Take most of us back to the Middle Ages. They’re banning the use of energy, they are making moves to ban most agriculture, restricting the ability to move about, etc. etc.

Who couldn’t see that one coming.

Get us off oil, then get rid of all the green stuff.

Then we can starve in the cold and dark.

Someone missed the information that solar and wind power is actually batteries.

Old: Will the Last Person Leaving California Please Turn Off the Lights?

New: They’re already off. Power outages.

California’s buildout of wind and solar farms is exceeding the ability of its grid to handle all the electricity during periods of high production and low demand.

Electricity doesn’t work that way. Go back to school then get back to us.

California is currently running TV ads with Millennial spokespersons asking California folks to avoid using electricity during 4-9pm to that might cause “power outages”. “Just take a break at these hours!” and don’t play video games.

“”They should be shutting off natgas and other carbon and switching over to these renewables””

There was an electricity generation plant powered by natural gas on the Kalifornia Coast. They ceased producing electricity at this place, and actually installed Tesla batteries in the same buildings used for power generation. There is no power being generated at the site, and no explanation about just how the batteries are charged. Twice, they have had to shut down due to battery fires. One of the shutdowns lasted 6 months. No word on where the ‘customers’ got their electricity during these shutdowns.

When politics infests everything, be assured everything becomes incompetent and corrupt. Nothing ruins efficiencies like politics and politicians.

Light a candle rather than curse the darkness.

That is a Chinese expression. Don’t tell me the Chicoms don’t plan far ahead.

Big disagreements about the origin. Eleanor Roosevelt said it but in September 1907 Rev.William L. Watkinson’s sermon “The Invincible Strategy” was reprinted in a periodical called “China’s Millions” which was published by a Protestant Christian missionary society based in China.
It is usually said to from the Chinese or from Confucius but no one has verified the farthest back source.


The author of Life 101 and other books Peter McWilliams (1949-2000) joked “When I say I’m quoting the ancient Chinese I really mean I saw it on a fortune cookie fortune once.”

"the result of the state not having enough power lines to carry all the electricity produced by wind and solar farms, the EIA report stated."

Picture the funny gay guy in the movie Independence Day when told the aliens are going to invade, "OMG! OMG!. I need to call my Aunt Ester! I need to call my accountant! I need to call my attorney! Fuck my attorney!" [Oh, this is California's fault? Fuck Cali!"]
