Look at the bright side ... this isn't nearly as bad as it's going to be when the water levels in Lake Mead drop another three feet or so!

Atlas Shrugged is now nonfiction.

But, we gotta close down that nuke plant (that non-CO2 generating power source).

[PAR35]

They need to move forward the shut down of the nuclear power plants. For the children, you know.

And, of course, they need to scapegoat Ken Lay again. That’s who they blamed last time for their own poor planning and regulatory overkill.

[gaijin]

Hey I know what..!

Let’s shut down our LAST REMAINING nuclear power plant..!

That will be SWELL..!

[cloudmountain]

This isn't new. They sing the SAME OLE SONG every year.

[Bullish]

Democrats are such complete assclown idiots but they’re never held responsible for their irresponsibility and incompetence.

I thought Enron caused all the blackouts in California and one they went out of business everything was good again.

It is called putting all your eggs in one basket. Leave out coal and this is the result. Cut CA out of the grid, and problem solved. Let them bask in their environmental heaven.

I would also suggest what has zero (pun intended) chance of success but ought to be done for the sake of the country, the Republic, and the preservation of the Constitution.

They’ve aspired to become a third-world entity...

California has had the gall to sue Arizona for not selling them more electricity. They did not get anywhere but they tried it nonetheless.

[Paleo Conservative]

It’s not just the availability of generation capacity, it’s also about the lack of growth in the power grid to deliver it. I’m glad I live in Texas where we have our own power grid that is not connected to the rest of the country.

should expect to be without power a total 14 days

someone's not doing a very good job. Californians would be ok with it if you say

should expect to fight global warming for a total 14 days

It's all in the wording. They'll be pissed when it happens either way. But they can be happy and smug until it happens. And their phones and internet won't work as it happens so you won't need to listen to them whine about doing their part in the fight to save the planet.

Real-time graphs of electric power demand/supply in California, emergency conservation alerts, etc. can be seen here:

California ISO—Today's Outlook

When I lived in California, I had this bookmarked. On hot days, it was interesting to watch the blue line approach the red line.

Didn’t the just announce today a deal to shut down the “last” nuclear reactor there?

[G Larry]

This must be why they just announced the brilliant decision to shut down Diablo Canyon reactor in 2025.......

[Mears]

I don’t know if any of you watch “Criminal Minds” but there were 2 episodes that were based on California rolling blackouts.

Starred Tim Curry who was VERY frightening.

Also Leonard Cohem music .

It used to be a great show.
