SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday signed an emergency proclamation to free up additional energy capacity amid California's scorching heat wave.
With another Flex Alert called by the state grid operator for Friday evening, Newsom's proclamation suspends certain permitting requirements. The order allows the use of back-up power generation and frees up additional energy capacity to help alleviate the heat-induced demands on the state’s energy grid.
Much of the Western United States is seeing triple digit heat. In the Bay Area, cooling centers have opened to alleviate those who may be without air conditioning or who need shelter from the soaring temperatures.
Despite improvements to the California electrical grid, the state still imports a lot of power from other Western States during peak demands.
Right now, the biggest threat to the grid is cranking up the air-conditioning. A/C can quickly put excessive demand on the system, leading to stress on local electricity distribution equipment.
In prolonged heat waves, some older power equipment simply cannot cool down and fails from a technical kind of heat stroke.

I checked the webcams for beaches in Southern CA today...Huntington Beach...Venice Beach...All cloudy...June gloom...
Inland areas are in the heat 100 plus
Recall the adulterous bastard.
“In prolonged heat waves, some older power equipment simply cannot cool down and fails from a technical kind of heat stroke.”
Someone should think about replacing that older equipment.
Oh, right. This is California.
Never mind.

Hmmmm Thinking he never cared about this before. Guess figures might get some Votes out of it. SPIT
What Gavin wishes he could say about the ‘little people, and all their weather discomforts; “Let Them Eat Ice!”
Reminds me of the air-conditioned "Suicide Centers" in "Soylent Green."

Marxo-Luddite trash. Monsters and savages.
“The order allows the use of back-up power generation and frees up additional energy capacity…”
It takes an ORDER from the GOVERNOR to do this? Why the hell can’t the ISO and utilities make these decisions?
LOL, or just do like The Bundys and lounge in the Supermarket...
LOLOL..that’s right!
When we were kids and hung out downtown when it was hot we would go in the supermarket and cool down in the meat and dairy aisle! LoL.....it worked!

Thus proving the black outs are self induced.

The state has run out of electricity now, so let’s just wait until there’s 20,000,000 more ELECTRIC cars on the road. Politicians and greenies are incapable of rational thought and critical thinking. Actions have consequences.
Central planning is always the best. That’s been proven around the world many times. The government can respond so much better and faster than the free market./s
And with the anti-shoplifting laws, you can help yourself to dinner.
