Massive power outage in San Francisco

[TheInfiniteSadness]

I'm in Saskatchewan Canada which is north of Montana and North Dakota. It's supposed to last a week. Four days ago I was in Edmonton, Alberta and a blizzard came through Western Canada which screwed up the roads in three cities which have a million people. Below is a story of a stuck firetruck and no tow trucks were available. Where are you?

While it was unknown when power would be restored for others

Uh, the power will come back around 10:30am when the sun is strong enough to shine on the solar panels

California has battery back up systems, billions in dollars. This must be a fake story, California is battery powered by solar panels. What could go wrong

• PG&E first reported an outage in the Inner Sunset affecting just under 15,000 customers around 9:40 a.m., which was followed by outages at around 10:10 a.m. affecting several other areas.
• PG&E's outage map showed that – as of about 4:15 p.m. – nearly 125,000 users in San Francisco were without power.
• PG&E said power was estimated to be restored to some areas around 3:45 p.m., while it was unknown when power would be restored for others.

I was thinking all their solar panels ran out of power.

I also think we all have an idea of what CA thinks a 1 alarm fire is. Not good

high winds?.......sabotage? shitty workmanship?

Do they have winter there? You must get a wicked amount of snow

Well you really got em now! Power outages never happen in Texas.

13,000 without power in Dallas in May.

More than 13,000 without power in North Texas during Memorial Day storms

Most of those outages were in the Collin and Dallas county areas, where scattered outages each left several thousand customers without power.

2,500 just the other week just north of Dallas.

Outage tracker: More than 2,500 North Texans without power amid Saturday afternoon storms

A cold front is moving over DFW on Saturday afternoon, bringing some severe weather with it.

Citizens are tired of Texas power grid failures.

Why Texas’ mass power outages continue to happen - The Texas Tribune

Repairing electricity infrastructure after storms usually costs customers. So could strengthening it before the next weather event.

Dallas is a blue city....

You're such a partisan dick.

Kind of an ironic accusation in a thread literally created to “mock the libs” for a power outage in San Francisco

we had a wind related power outage in VT yesterday, it's not uncommon for us

You sure?

It's pretty funny they have the old Haight in with the old power. I know that area well, used to live there and my kid went to school where the Haight dumps into Market. Everything east of the red line is new, what they call the Western Addition. But Haight still has 4 story walk-ups and such. I don't think they can rebuild that area, it's too historic.

Lol, a liberal run state cannot keep the power on. Color me shocked .

As my links show, Texas is the state with the terrible power grid.

Not familiar with that term,

I've been told here that checking spelling is racist...I think misspelling shows stupidity and laziness.
spell-check and proof-reading are easy to do, but they don't for some reason.

Meh. People are typing on phones, ipads, and laptops/computers. Misspellings happen. It is lazy if you have a whole bunch in a sentence and you obviously dont read it one time before you post but a random misspelling here and there doesnt bother me.

Many power grids are on the verge of failure.
AI Data Centers will require double the capacity
Someone needs to get busy.

I wont argue with that. Biden's infrastructure bill made steps but just scratched the surface offering up $65B for power grid enhancements. We need to invest MORE in infrastructure and LESS in military and defense. My opinion.

Renewable energy cant meet demand Bidens green new deal financed energy that cant work cost too much is unreliable and will create catastrophic shortage.
Trump canceled that stupidity the future is fossil fuels and nuclear.

Lots of lies in a short blub.

Trump cant cancel a legislative bill. So you lied about that.

The bill has billions for current delivery systems and power grids. So you lied about that.

There was no green new deal passed. So you lied about that.

The infrastructure bill was bi-partisan and GOP lawmakers that voted against it are campaigning on its success.

Give it up dude. You are virtually wrong with every single word you type. Its like you have no idea what is real and what you make up.
