Look at the bright side ... this isn't nearly as bad as it's going to be when the water levels in Lake Mead drop another three feet or so!

But, we gotta close down that nuke plant (that non-CO2 generating power source).

They need to move forward the shut down of the nuclear power plants. For the children, you know.

And, of course, they need to scapegoat Ken Lay again. That’s who they blamed last time for their own poor planning and regulatory overkill.

Being a Socal native from San Diego, I remember we had an energy crisis with rolling blackouts under former Gov. Grey Davis who was recalled for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Given that CA has been given to suicidal lemmings, I don’t anticipate history to repeat for Brown. And yes, that pisses me off to high heaven.

Democrats are such complete assclown idiots but they’re never held responsible for their irresponsibility and incompetence.

Trump could promise to build a WATER pipeline from Oregon/Wash. It would be easier to sacrifice the 3” fish but a pipeline would be something EVERYONE could see. The price? A Republican Governor in 18’ leading to the promise of the 2020 convention in Sacramento.

Gray Davis and now Jerry Brown.

Do we call them gray-outs or brown-outs?

My thoughts exactly. In some areas Ayn Rand was a prophetess.

Let me see, which group runs this state? LIBS.

What party are most libs in: Dummocrap.

I wonder if anyone with more mental horsepower than an amoeba can figure out what has happened to the once great state of California. If they cannot, I will spell it out for them: run by democrates, enabled by liberals, and that equals decreases in the standard of living. Last man out, turn out the lights assuming they are still on.

I thought Enron caused all the blackouts in California and one they went out of business everything was good again.

It is called putting all your eggs in one basket. Leave out coal and this is the result. Cut CA out of the grid, and problem solved. Let them bask in their environmental heaven.

I would also suggest what has zero (pun intended) chance of success but ought to be done for the sake of the country, the Republic, and the preservation of the Constitution.

You forgot that once they relocate to a functioning state they immediately want all the same laws and politicians that screwed up California.

California has had the gall to sue Arizona for not selling them more electricity. They did not get anywhere but they tried it nonetheless.
