California Declares Power Grid Emergency – Says Usage Is At 5-Year High And Grid May Collapse

[Weatherman2020]

California declared a power grid emergency Monday as a blistering and sustained heat wave threatens to push the state’s electricity system beyond its limit.

With millions of homes and businesses cranking air conditioners to cope with temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius), electricity use in the largest US state is forecast to hit the highest level since 2017, raising the specter of blackouts.

California Power Use to Hit Record, Raising Chance of Blackouts

California narrowly avoided implementing rotating outages on Monday while officials warned that the state’s power grid will face a bigger test on Tuesday amid a record-breaking heat wave.

I’m so old I remember when electricity was not a prized possession in California.

The infrastructure has huge issues. And ex vice president Brandon seems more concerned with chasing ghosts (Trump & MAGA whatever) instead of ACTUALLY fixing REAL problems.

Did you read that California has banned people from charging their electric cars this week? Huh, I thought they were trying so hard to promote green energy ------

Leftists fck up everything

Oh my.

Just this second saw the same think on Bloomberg. Temps over 110 and all those wildfires! Could be a problem, all right.

 

[Thunk]

Did you read that California has banned people from charging their electric cars this week?

Yup. When the fires begin & people have no charge in their cars...they're gonna BURN!

KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!

Have to say, it really doesn't seem to be an especially well-run state, California. Their governor is really running for president? I'd say that would be inadvisable.

Need to get a bunch of Californians into those wind turbine farms and start blowing real hard.

 

[Thunk]

Sniff sniff...is that BBQ democrat I smell?

They ban GENERATORS?? You're kidding, right? We have a generator! In Maryland, but you never know when there will be a storm and everything goes.

This is what happens when Democrats are in complete control.
Course....people that live in this state are used to this.

The trick is just making everything slowly worse.....and they won't even notice the changes.

They don't advertise it but soon it will be illegal to sell gas powered generators in California. This is all to stop you from charging your car when they turn off the power.

It goes into effect in 2028, all gas operated generators.

Good grief

That really is one bad state.

Gotta squeeze the power from the people to the power for the government.

This is like the frog in a pan of heating water

It will be America if Democrats have their way.

ONCE AGAIN, Progressive ideology meets the brick road of reality. They've had DECADES to improve and prepare their electric grid, but instead, they let environmentalists block the construction of everything Californians need from nuclear power plants to desalination facilities.

But they have all the time and room in the world to bus in more unskilled, unvetted illegals from Nicaragua.
