Power out for 170,000+ in California as extreme heat stokes wildfires. Outages expected to grow.
REPORT: “.. PG&E customers should expect a doubling of sustained power outages in 15 years and a 4-fold increase in 30 years, according to analysis by National Electric Testing, Research and Applications Center, Georgia Tech

This is what happens when a state buys into the green new deal. We are now a third world country otherwise known as the state of California.
ANY report claiming ANYTHING in “30 years” is useless.
This isn’t something new for Ca. And Green isn’t going to do it.
Here too in Upstate NY. No fracking allowed. We have gas “gold mines” in NY. Cuomo and his bootlick’n legislature have all the power.
True but hopefully, if all of those assclowns sweat their rear ends off and are miserable, maybe they will get a clue.... probably not but at least they will be miserable. Be like us, solar and a back up generator.
Good. Let them fry.
There are two outage causes:
Green energy crappola does nothing for base load – like what is essential at night and w/ no wind. Nonetheless, legislature DB’s who need environmental votes push green/sustainable lies regardless of impact to the peasants. If it gets hot like it does every summer (been here 30+ years, no increase in summer temp) then AC use pushes overloaded green system over the limit.
Ca Gov’mt got away w/ blaming PG&E (etall – also southern Ca power Co’s) as ignition source for wildfires in times of high winds. Like careless campers, arsonists, car backfires, lightning strikes, etc. can’t start the same? In reality, the source of wildfires is catering to environmentals’ votes again – they won’t allow forest service to clean brush from forests, even near towns. So, regardless of ignition source, power company can (has to in order to avoid litigation) turn off power any time there is the slightest excuse of a wind.
It is not weather, climate, seasons, or carelessness; it is politics. Environmental politics. Progressives need their vote. And, these same progressives support the riots. Does any of that looks sane?
Ain’t the green new deal great!
In Communist countries you line up for everything.
Your life revolves around lining up to obtain the bare necessities.
In Cali, they “line up” to get subsistence level of the power they need.

No problem, my solar panels charge my home battery station so I can fill up my electric car.....
Hey, the fire is coming my way. Overcast skies mean my home battery is depleted.
Need to bug out but my car has enough power to go one mile.
Oh shite, shite, shite.
Got to outrun the fire on my bike, legs do not fail me today!
Go Green.
Go Brown.
Build more power plants NOW!!!! Nuclear and natural gas.
May Almighty God save the people of California and destroy their jailers.
