Being a Socal native from San Diego, I remember we had an energy crisis with rolling blackouts under former Gov. Grey Davis who was recalled for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Given that CA has been given to suicidal lemmings, I don’t anticipate history to repeat for Brown. And yes, that pisses me off to high heaven.
Trump could promise to build a WATER pipeline from Oregon/Wash. It would be easier to sacrifice the 3” fish but a pipeline would be something EVERYONE could see. The price? A Republican Governor in 18’ leading to the promise of the 2020 convention in Sacramento.
Gray Davis and now Jerry Brown.
Do we call them gray-outs or brown-outs?
As the article points out, this is a local problem caused by loss of stored natural gas from the leak.
OTOH, when Davis was guv, that was a nation wide shortage of natural gas. As you probably don't recall, Texas senator Phil Gramm's political career also ended during those times, and he was replaced by John Cornyn.
I might also add that you should probably not accept anything published at Zero Hedge written by an anonymous author as being totally reliable
