Pacific Gas & Electric Co. shut down power to 500,000 homes and business – an estimated 2-million-plus Northern California residents – creating the largest blackout in state history. The move, designed as a massive defensive tactic to avoid wildfires amid high winds, created confusion, consternation and angry responses from both the public and public officials.

Most of the areas where the power is shut off are conservative counties. Coincidence?

Remember when California voters recalled Gov. Gray Davis over electricity issues (supply and costs)? That was when Arnie first became governer.

And it wasn't THAT long ago now was it...Praying it will happen AGAIN.

I need to go to Target, and get me a battery op Transistor Radio tomorrow. I’m about 15 miles north of San Fran. So far the local electricity remains on.

[Openurmind]

I had that thought earlier, just like “shelter in place” training and conditioning.

If Californians can’t handle an intentional power outage how will they do if Food or Water aren’t available?

For the GREATER good.

Now, you really get that meaning :-)

Greta Thunderbird — or whatever the hell her name is — must be pleased.

Maybe PG&E will keep the electricity off permanently.

The people in the dark deserve it. Their voting record has borne it’s perfect fruit.

Post of the day!

PEOPLE........ What areas are going to be without power and how long will the blackout be? I’ve got to do my TAXES. Can I get a tax extension due to power outage?

[Big Red Badger]

I wonder How Uhaul
is Doing with East
Bound Movers?

[Cold Heart]

Dick’s might have Transistor radios as well.

[pepsionice]

If you are correct, then one could expect power to be cut on an average of 40 days a year. Pretty rough lifestyle.

I would imagine that they would die.

VDH lives in the area of the black out doesnt he?

[jcon40]

You already took your extension.... OK.. my taxes aren’t done yet either... Which is what I should be working on instead of ranting here.

[jcon40]

He taught at Fresno State Can for years but think he moved on

[lee martell]

That’s true.
Though I doubt if they sell any ‘Gun-Shaped’ radios as gift items.

Here in the heart of the south Bay Area there is barely a breeze.
Right now, like right now at 8PM.
No one will listen next time, myself included.
And these are the people who we think know what the weather will be like 100 years from now?

Most of us Conservatives live in rural areas where trees can actually drop a nut that grows
