“California’s grid is set up to supply air conditioning to hot places. “

California has to import electricity to cover its usage. Even so, during hot weather or power plant outages - not uncommon events - they’ve had plenty of rolling blackouts.

But the facts never concern liberals...

“California has to import electricity to cover its usage. Even so, during hot weather or power plant outages - not uncommon events - they’ve had plenty of rolling blackouts.”

We have had several of these in the past 4+ weeks.

They last just long enough to screw up up our internet/router, phones connected to the internet, wifi, the tv after we cut the cable and other minor bs.

So I ordered some UPCs from Costco and put them in places to avoid these so called minor rolling blackouts.

Shortly after 6 pm we had a rolling blackout for 15 minutes.

The new UPC’s worked and everything connected to them continued to work.

Now with our smart meters, PG&E can take 4,000+ users off the grid for a few minutes and then rotate the off users until the power supply has been stabilized.
