WASHINGTON (AP) — Expect more preventative power blackouts in California as the climate gets hotter and drier and the wildfire season gets nastier and longer,scientists say.

“Get used to blackouts to prevent wildfires”

No.

scientists say

I am _so_ impressed--not!

My dog is smarter than these "scientists".

Thank God Texas is not connected to the other states’ power grid.

Warning: Californians are moving like wildfire INTO the Texas grid.

Yup, “the new normal”.

[fhayek]

What do you think has caused more blackouts, global warming or socialism?

I will give you a hint. Marx means no sparks....

People are moving here from every state and country. Something like 1,000 a week move just to Dallas/Fort Worth.

Typical middle class rural California home five years from now.

Hmmm. . . When can you tell climate scientists are lying? When they are making any announcements with the words “warming,” “global,” “climate,” “crisis,” “change,” “future,” “temperature,” “dire,” “alarming,” “denial,” “settled,” “science,” “consensus,” kockeystick,” or “disaster,” in it. . . or just opening their mouths, for that matter.

OMG, it’s spiraling out of control!!!

[blueunicorn6]

Come on!

Let’s force the power company to burn things up!

Unless there are some drastic changes in California, in ten years, the only electricity there will be will be from the generators at the billionaire mansions on the coast.

This is BS. The rest of the country is swimming in water.

Back in the 70s, a “fort” in the woods was a cool place to hangout on a friday or Saturday night. Who would have figured they would become the homeless shelter of today?

Well, if they sell their homes in California they can afford a VERY nice spread in Texas.

[catnipman]

odd how “global warming” only affects the power infrastructure in California and no other state ... LOTS of other windy states don’t have to shut down their power grid whenever the wind blows hard ...

[HighSierra5]

Don’t believe your lying eyes.

[Jim Robinson]

Actually, they mean get used to life under socialism.
