California orders no EV charging over Labor Day weekend

[Ralph Norton]

What are you asking for a link to?

 

[Harry Dresden]

Arnold was a RINO that kissed the ass of the Progressives so he does have some culpubility in the state being screwed up.

However, the overwhelming Democrat leadership in the state is what is fucking everything up. Everything they do is wrong.

arnie was the greatest gov the state ever had when he was campaigning.....its after he got elected he started kissing asses....

 

[EvilCat Breath]

No traveling over this 3 day weekend.

 

[Harry Dresden]

He was. Apparently, Canon Shooter lived in one of the rich white neighborhoods that were immune to the blackouts.

it was also because of the California budget crisis that followed the bursting of the dot-com bubble, and the car tax......and wilson left him with a 13 billion dollar surplus...

Yes, most of us were disappointed in what we were hearing he was doing. Acting like a Democrat.

 

[Donald H]

Has anyone mentioned the 'other' side benefit?

That is, stay home and celebrate in a more environmentally friendly way than driving hundreds of miles when there's no real need to waste precious energy.

 

[Independent thinker]

This is DemoKKKrat leadership at it's finest. They banned gas engines, but lack the forethought and competence to provide adequate electricity to charge EVs.

I guess everyone can just stay home but make sure that thermostat isn't set lower than 78!

Enjoy!

Don't Charge that Electric Vehicle: California Braces for Energy Shortage Thru Labor Day

California will have "Flex Alerts" through Labor Day, and residents will be asked not to charge electric vehicles at certain times.

www.breitbart.com

Hoping to avoid blackouts, the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s power grid, warned Tuesday that it probably will issue a series of Flex Alerts over the next several days. Flex Alerts are voluntary calls for conservation during the afternoon and evening hours, when energy use tends to soar. Residents will be asked to turn up their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using dishwashers or other large appliances, and hold off on charging their electric vehicles, all during the 4-9 p.m. time frame.

Already, the grid manager has issues a “restricted maintenance operations” notice starting Wednesday — a directive telling power generators and transmission line operators to delay routine maintenance that would take generating or transmission equipment offline.

California is more of a joke every day.

The OP is bitching he has an EV and can't charge it?

If a Democrat is elected as President again, and they managed to hold seats in the house - America will be like Europe is right now, easily within 5 years.
Europe is experiencing between 130% - 300% utility price increases.
Mandated Thermostat settings or pay fine.
Rationed WATT usage

All coming

I heard early this morning that natural gas is 3 times higher than it was. So here in the United States you can choose to be warm this winter or eat. Thanks Joe Biden.

No.

 

[okfine]

No.

Why are you so upset then?

I'm not upset.

California is awesome!

 

[MeBelle]

That's neither here nor there, nor is it what I was addressing.

You said Californians were being "ordered" not to charge their electric vehicles.

That's simply not true...

If we don't follow the recommendations we deal with blackouts and higher costs for energy.

THEN it will be made mandatory.

We've also been ordered to conserve water...or fines

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

It will be. Voluntary today is mandated tomorrow... just like Europe.

It's for your own good.

Now show me your electric bill!

 

[MeBelle]

Just wait until they have SmartGrid in place and they can change the thermostat for you, whether you like it or not.

no

no

no

That may well be the case.

But the FACT is that Californians have not been ordered to not charge their EV's, despite the assertion made in the OP.

What will or might happen in the future isn't pertinent to that particular conversation...

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Thanks to ballot harvesting and a weak CA GOP the state is a one party state.....

And millions of illegal aliens.

 

[okfine]

I'm not upset.

Do you live in CA? Will it affect you? Record heat is forecasted. Do you understand why people are being warned?
It's a 3 day weekend for many and most will be at home with a/c and fans running 24/7. Does that compute with you?

 

[Canon Shooter]

He was. Apparently, Canon Shooter lived in one of the rich white neighborhoods that were immune to the blackouts.

Your jealousy is palpable.

Tough shit, huh?

At least I don't resort to make up bullshit...
