Don’t be silly, Marxists can’t run a power grid. See: Venezuela.

He’s a little busy right now with the deep state. California is way down the list.
Dont know. But if folks have never had to face a multi-day outage, and lose a lot of food, ability to cook, open a can, pump water, convenience devices and AC, they generally takes steps to not endure it again if they can.
Where we live in the semi-sticks of north GA, the weather can interrupt our power without much warning. Pretty much all of us up here take it on stride. Not that everyone fits the “prepper” model, but virtually all are prepared for the 80% of non calamity level events.
I think folks who aren’t ready, after getting whacked once, would have limited sympathy from others if they were not prepared the second time, unless they just can’t swing the preps physically or financially.
For those wondering why CA has a scumbag RAT Dictator as governor and his henchmen in the Assembly, here’s one answer! This crap is all over the country and no state is safe. CA is the RAT prototype for voter fraud.
DMV Enables Massive Voter Fraud in the Golden State

In reality, California officials know full well how many non-citizens voted in June and November of 2018, and the ballpark figure of one million is probably low. California officials also know how many ineligible non-citizens voted in November 2016. After that election, in which Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, and voters swept in a Republican Senate and House, California officials took to stonewalling.
Judicial Watch announced today that it signed a settlement agreement with the State of California and County of Los Angeles under which they will begin the process of removing from their voter registration rolls as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. These removals are required by the National Voter Registration
Now you understand the origin of the 'Hurricane Party.'
Cook all the food and invite all your friends.
As I posted on another one of these threads. We’ve had 10 day outages here in 0 degree weather. All manner of bad stuff happens, pipes burst, boilers burst, people freeze to death and you don’t just “bounce back” when the power comes back on. Our ancestors knew how to survive, we should learn that too.
Maybe the 2.3 million people affected so far may vote for republicans?
Republican ad: This is what the democrat party has brought. Then shows wildfires then darkness. Missing reservoirs, water shortage, all the homeless, the map of poo in San Francisco.
Then show the homes of the democrat politicians. Big homes in nice neighborhoods. Potholes galore, big pensions etc.
Excellent points!
Some years back the democrats wanted to force everyone into using smart meters so the government could monitor and control your thermostat , power usage, exc.
This would go right along. with Green New deal (Politicians, Hollywood, amd elite donors to DNC exempt of course).
#21 Those people in Commiefornia have been asking for this kind of crap for years.
Well they have the crap now in San Francisco!!
“It is agenda 21 in action.”

Cutting power *for days* for millions of people is the most INSANE thing I've ever heard of. I can't believe this is happening in the United States. (But not surprised at anything anymore that happens in California)
This just shows you how fragile society has become. At 74 I didn’t think I would live long enough to see the reality of something like “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy. If the cancer that is destroying California is allowed to spread, I’m not so sure.
Shaddap and pay yer CA taxes, business owners.
Yeah, if this happens all the time it will get old. But then I will take my preparation to level 2.
Noce job on Generac!
You should have no power problems in Belmont and SF. Power in the built-up areas is not very vulnerable because it is underground or easily maintained and no built-up flammable debris is littering the ground (other than possibly dried poop in SF). The shutdowns are mostly in and around forested areas where they haven’t kept vegetation from intruding on the lines and where environmentalists have been resisting cleanup of dry brush, debris and dead trees.
I haven't been out to the Bay Area in 20 years. It will be quite interesting for me to see how SF and the area has 'changed'. My husband grew up in the East Bay and graduated from UC Berzerkeley (no, he was *not* a leftist hippie).
I live in Wilmington NC ( once upon a time lived in LA and Sacramento). So we are in hurricane country. 2 years ago I wanted to put in a Generac and got push back from the wife. “It’s a needless cost, we are never without power for more than a couple of hours” etc. Did it anyway. Put in a 20kw powered by natural gas. After Florence we were without power for 10 DAYS. Generator came on, and with a couple quarts of oil ran without a hiccup. My wife thought I was a genius. She wanted to do commercials for Generac after that. She suggested I buy the stock.
Good story. Buying stock in a company that you have experience with is a good idea.
The odd thing about what is going on here in California is that the power outage is not accompanied with any natural disaster. No hurricane, no flood, no earthquake, no fire. So the disaster IS the power outage.
My cynical view is that PG&E is doing this so that the Calif. Public Utilities Commision will force them to leave the power on. Then if something happens it is the PUC’s fault and liability.
This is a direct result of decades of land management policies in California. PG&E was prevented from proper maintenance on their lines and those areas around the power lines and the rest of the state were allowed to get choked with dead trees and brush. When the disaster of the fire last year happened, and they blamed it on PG&E it bankrupted the company. On the hook for billions. I would not be surprised if it happened again that criminal charges would be filed against the executives particularly if lives are lost.
California is reaping the results of decades of stupid policy decisions.
