California says it needs more power to keep the lights on

California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid, saying it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer and beyond if heatwaves, wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.

Well it will pick up a little extra capacity in not having to run so many water pumps now that they are just about completely dried up

Then they need to stop blocking new energy generation plants.

They put in a bunch of windfarms in the early 2000's and then got them shut down with lawsuits over dead birds.

The outsourced much of their generating capacity to other states instead of building their own and it's becoming a real crisis in the state causing rolling blackouts and "dimming".

The EPA, clean air, and clean water acts make it hard enough to build anywhere and CA makes it even harder.

To build a new plant in Texas is about a 20 year process from concept to completion because of Federal Regulation and it's twice as bad or more in California.

They are going to have to suffer the consequences until it becomes bad enough that their citizens rebel and demand better.

The entire country doesn't have the generation or distribution capacity for 20 million new cars.

Don't worry, no matter how bad the drought gets just like TX, NM, AZ and NV they'll keep the golf courses green.

Why do they need more power?

I thought the Libturdz were fleeing Mexifornia in droves??? Supposedly over a million people so far???

If anything, I say everything needs to be CUT OFF to that state regarding humans. Food, power, money, medical care, etc....
