After averting blackouts Monday night, the managers of California’s electricity grid had to navigate a day when energy consumption in the state is expected to blow past the all-time record. SMUD issued a separate warning to the Sacramento region that blackouts could hit the area for the first time in 20 years.

“We’re heading into the worst part of this heat wave,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a video posted Tuesday morning. “The risk of outages is real and it’s immediate.”

They’ve voted RAT for so long, the communist state has regressed society to 3rd world living conditions (except for the elites).

Let’s have another recall so that Newsom can garner another 62+% of the vote.

Nonsense. They told us that if you like your electricity you can keep your electricity.

It’s a no-win situation - if you and enough fellow citizens comply, then whew, blackout avoided. and your reward is more crappy green energy policies. If you don’t comply, then it’s blackouts for you. (And still more crappy green energy policies - but they might ease off just a bit)

.......concerning the 51,400 odd megawatt “peak”, which according to California’s marxist politicians and marxist media is an all time high, no worries, your state has become so awful to live in that everybody’s moving out so, lol, your electricity requirements are about to go wat down...........permanently.

You get what you vote for.

Like Obama used to say, elections have consequences.

Voters’ decisions have consequences.

But, if Californians are patient enough, they’ll be able to do without fossil-fuels and get by with just renewal energy, some 50 years in the future.

Someone should figure out how to power vehicles where the vehicles carry around a energy dense liquid and burn that liquid for power.
Maybe whale oil would work ?

whale oil

That was great stuff, made the best transmission fluid ever, and was damn difficult to replace when outlawed.
