California officials responsible for the state's electric grid are scrambling to avoid blackouts in southern California this summer following news that a major nuclear power plant will be offline indefinitely.
The effort to avoid a repeat of the costly power outages that plagued the state in 2000 and 2001 includes bringing old plants back online, commissioning new transmission lines and activating a multipronged emergency response system to cut power demand at peak times.
"We're not forecasting blackouts, but during very hot periods, either a very hot day or an extended heat wave, there are going to be challenges in southern California," said Steven Greenlee, a spokesman for the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which manages the power grid that serves 30 million people.

What can Brown do for you?
Brownouts.
Has Brown done anything to increase power supplies?
Fire the liberal “dirt-firsters” and your lights will come back on.
Not many leftists would understand that you can’t build a windmill using the power that a windmill produces...
however, that’s not what it’s about.
Windmills are for generating false righteousness,
not for generating electricity.
True, but they're also great for generating tax credits and subsidies....aka you and me paying for somebody else's folly.
The credits and subsidies exist because of folks’ desire for false righteousness.
And for the people that use the sheeperals’ need for righteousness without God,
“green” means MONEY to their cronies and donors.
It’s not the Gore types that we have to have feel the pain,
but those sheeperals that empower them.
Ain't that special.
California no longer has blackouts.
They now have "challenges."
And when the "necessarily skyrocketing" bills show up in the homeowners mail will they have a "participation trophy" embossed in the letterhead?
There is no cure for "progressive liberal" stupidity.
NONE.
.progressive liberal
Perhaps Governor Brown can discover a way to have his bullet train generate electricity.
I guess the solar powered high-speed rail job is about to go over the cliff. huh, Moonbeam?
and the wind whispered ENRONNnnnn
Yes Conrade, but there is still more to do. By end of the next Maobama Four Year Plan, we should have mass starvation, universal gun control and concentration camps. And ignore the knock on your door at 3:00 am, they are there to help you.
And still no libs see a problem with their demands for more plug-in electric cars.
So let me get this straight, one of the highest revenue generating states in the nation (if not “the” most?) can’t keep the lights on?
When do you think they maybe, just maybe, have a problem?
That nails it perfectly!
The generators were made in NKorea.
scramble, scramble, sweat, sweat.
How’s that green power ship working out for y’all now?
toughsky-shitskey huh?
Having experienced some of this Chinese "steel" I've come to the conclusion that the word "steel" just does not translate properly into Chinese. That have some stuff they call "steel", but it isn't.
Davis' major blunder was trying to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
