Let’s not beat around any bushes. The state is starting to condition the rubes to EXPECT spotty energy. By deliberately restricting the production and conveyance of the current energy grid, they can remove their fossil fuel produced electric plants and replace them with the unreliable wind and solar sources. At this point, Californians will be so conditioned to the spotty outages that there will be no difference between those outages and the expected outages that wind and solar will produce.
Conditioning. And indoctrination. This is why California resembles Venezuela more than America. Pure and simple. Some government officials may be stupid, perhaps most of them, but they are in lockstep with the Communist Manifesto.
