Hypocrite California governor Gavin Newsom, who has been replacing nuclear power and fossil fuels with solar and wind power, demands an investigation to find out why clouds and weak wind caused widespread blackouts

California Governor Gavin Newsom is against nuclear power and fossil fuels. He has been getting rid of those reliable sources of electricity, and replacing them with solar power (which only work when the sun is shining) and wind power (which only works when the wind is blowing).

California recently had widespread blackouts.

California’s Independent System Operator had been warning for years that the state’s growing dependence on solar and wind power could lead to blackouts. The organization blamed the state’s recent blackouts on clouds and weak wind. And now Governor Newsom is demanding an investigation to see how and why clouds and weak wind prevented California’s solar panels and windmills from operating at their maximum possible capacity.

Governor Newsom is a hypocrite and an idiot.

The blowing has decreased since hVrris left the state. Or something. As far as the solar, pretty sure all the smoke in the air is cutting it back a bit. They have enough smoke that they’re exporting a lot to northern NevaDUH.

No, because that would be cultural appropriation and would show his white privilege. /sarcasm

Well, there is a dearth of birds.

If there were more birds, the wind turbines would be more efficient.

Dead birds means more wind power.

If you want science: birds eat food which is a resource. Birds fly around, messing up the air currents for the turbines. Their smeared remains degrade the airflow on the turbine blades.

Birds popularize themselves on calendars, appealing to the masses, which damages the PR of the turbines.

You see, I have totally absorbed real science.
