Massive power outage in San Francisco

[Hafar1014]

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.

Trump has stopped subsidies which will end renewable energy. The support now is fossil fuels and nuclear.

You are confused. Trump's budget eliminated subsidies for EVs, sure, that's all the power he has. Trump has zero power to alter the infrastructure grants from the infrastructure bill. Feel free to link any examples of it. You wont/cant.

Subsidies for wind and solar will be cut. Wind turbines have been canceled all over the country and solar farms ar going broke. 3 old nuclear power plants have been restarted. Bill Gates bought Three Mile Island . There is no future for renewables. EV car sales are dropping the industry is in decline

Damn I'm slow. Should have had this in the OP.

I understand most power has been restored.

• 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

They'll just have the drag queens read kids progressive stories with flashlights.

That post is a mess of bullshit.

1) Wind & solar aren’t “going broke.” U.S. wind and solar capacity hit record highs in 2023/2024 and still dominate new power additions because they’re the cheapest new generation in most regions. A few delayed projects ≠ industry collapse.


2) The infrastructure bill spending isnt being “cut.” They are locked in for years under current law. A president can’t cancel them unilaterally, and utilities are already planning around them.


3) Nuclear restarts don’t kill renewables. Restarting a handful of reactors (like Palisades) helps reliability — it doesn’t replace renewables. Nuclear, wind, and solar are complements, not competitors.


4) Bill Gates didn’t “buy Three Mile Island.” Three Mile Island is being considered for a grid-reliability restart by Constellation, not as some anti-renewables scheme by Bill Gates.


5) EV sales aren’t “in decline.” EV growth slowed after explosive early adoption. It's totally normal for any new technology. Sales are still rising year-over-year, with prices falling and charging expanding.

This isn’t an energy “collapse.” It’s a grid transition with renewables expanding fast, nuclear stabilizing baseload, and EVs moving from early-adopter hype to mass market reality. Anyone calling that “no future” is confusing volatility with failure.

The solar industry experienced exponential growth over the last decade as costs fell and favorable policies helped drive mass adoption.

However, 2024 has brought immense challenges, with higher interest rates, tighter financing, and adverse policy shifts in key states contributing to over 100 solar bankruptcies based on our industry data, a number unseen before in our almost 20 years in the solar sector.

California was particularly hard hit due to new net metering rules under NEM 3.0 that radically reduced system economics.

These adverse state policy impacts exacerbated financing shifts, triggering plummeting demand and an 80% decrease in rooftop solar installation volume. The California Solar & Storage Association reports that the fallout includes thousands of stalled projects, over 17,000 industry layoffs, and a wave of high-profile bankruptcies.

While stronger players demonstrate some resilience, impacted homeowners and solar employees face prolonged uncertainty. The outright collapse of many once fast-growing solar firms provides a sobering case study on the potential unintended consequences of incentive transitions.

Major Project Cancellations and Bankruptcies
Recent cancellations are primarily tied to federal policy changes and economic factors like supply chain issues and higher interest rates.

Project Cancellations and Pauses (Offshore)

• Revolution Wind (Rhode Island/Connecticut): Construction on this nearly complete 704 MW project was abruptly halted by a federal stop-work order in August 2025, citing national security concerns. A federal judge has since lifted the halt, allowing the project to resume.
• Maryland Offshore Wind Project (Maryland): The federal government has moved to cancel the permit for this project, leading developer US Wind to state it faces bankruptcy if the cancellation is finalized. Federal funding was also rescinded.
• Ocean Wind I and II (New Jersey): Developer Ørsted canceled these projects due to economic challenges, including supply chain problems and rising costs.
• Empire Wind 1 & 2 (New York): The Empire Wind 2 project was scrapped by developers Equinor and BP, and Empire Wind 1 also faced a federal halt, which was later resolved.
• Funding Cuts Across States: The Department of Transportation canceled $679 million in funding for a dozen offshore wind projects and port development in 11 states, including significant amounts for California, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York.

Project Cancellations (Onshore)

• Idaho Wind Farm (Idaho): A large, 231-turbine land-based project on federal land in southern Idaho was canceled by the Trump administration.

Bankruptcies

• US Wind: The developer for the Maryland project has warned it could go bankrupt if its building permits are revoked by the federal government.
• TPI Composites: This manufacturer of wind turbine blades filed for bankruptcy but anticipated no operational impact at its facilities, including one in Newton, Iowa.
• Solar Companies: While not wind-specific, the solar industry has seen numerous bankruptcies recently due to similar economic pressures, including major players like Sunnova and SunPower.

For more details on specific projects and companies involved, you can refer to reports from PBS NewsHour and E&E News by POLITICO.

They get a fair amount. They don't call that portion of CA3 the Powder Highway because they don't get any, LOL, but this has been a strange year so far.

Can renewables be built with little in government subsidies? And electricity costs have proven to be risen. And as we found out gasoline and fuel.
