“She posts this while California is having blackouts?...”
Liberals live in a Skittles and Unicorn universe, free from the strife their policies cause. As Victor Davis Hanson says, “Liberals are isolated from the effects of their policies.” They have private security and gated communities. They have servants to deal with the outside world. They have gas generators for electricity and, they have money enough to for green lawns and full swimming pools when the rest of California must live in blackouts and have insufficient water. What’s not to love? or, “It’s good to be the king.”
It’s a tweet from Feb. 2016.
The rich liberals are self-powered. The poor ones are grateful for welfare. Everybody is is locked out from having a voice.
I don’t think she knows whats going on in California.
Has she even been back there to any of the disaster areas?
I had the exact same reaction you did...I thought “Wow...it is astonishing just how tone deaf Leftists are.”
Well, even though the article is old, they are still tone deaf!
My wife and I vacationed at a farm up in Vermont a couple of years ago, and the older woman who ran the farm was a real conservative...yes...they do still have them up there.
She had some big solar arrays, and I asked if they were for her own power on the farm, or if the power was just pumped back into the grid (it was) and we got on the subject of the Vermont state government’s energy policy.
Apparently, they have a pie in the sky thing where they are supposed to be 90% renewable energy (by law) by the year 2050, so they have all these plans, and of course, they are anti-nuclear, so they shut down the nuclear reactors in the state. I read an article about their policy...it is stupid. Windmills and solar galore, it is a pipe dream.
Apparently, they must have thought there would be fairy dust or something that would power things when the nuclear power was removed, and they began having issues with power availability. So, this woman describes it to me, and said (with a big grin) they had to purchase power from Canada, some of which was hydroelectric, and some was nuclear in origin...and how the leftists howled about it!
Vermont isn’t California, that is for sure. If they have brownouts in Vermont, the impact is small. Few people, little industry. But California? 40 million people. Lots of industry.
Even Gavin Newsome admitted their green deal wasn’t planned out well enough.
They are immune to irony.
