The power disaster unfolding in California will soon occur across the country, if Joe Biden gets his way. The Golden State has been sweeping away the forms of energy that have provided reliable electricity for decades, under the same agenda the former vice president is planning for America as a whole.
Power outages are now commonplace in California. This summer, the state suffered its first rolling blackouts in almost 20 years. Imagine if this happened in Chicago in the middle of winter.
California’s trouble is explained by officials who now openly admit to an over-reliance on wind and solar power. The governor said there was not enough wind to keep the turbines going, while cloud cover and nightfall restricted solar power. The Los Angeles Times recognized the root of the problem:
“Gas-burning power plants that can fire up when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing have been shutting down in recent years, and California has largely failed to replace them.…”

Really..
Good. I can afford a generator if it comes to that.
Make it hurt, make it hurt bad. Morons should realize that there are consequences for their actions. Vote for a corrupt, demented old pervert backed by radical leftists and reap what comes your way.
Stepping forward into the 18th Century.
Love the smell of dung fires from the veranda of my mud hut.....
It’s not like this is going to happen on Jan 20th.
It is going to take a while for this stuff to go through the process. We will have plenty of time to knock this back.
And....buy a generator.
They have their own power grid. Not connected to East or West.
Our Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant serves more of California than it does Arizona, but now that Arizona is “BLUE”, the lefties will be coming for it. I hope they all starve in the dark.
Would that be a solar or wind generator. :-) Pretty sure I saw someplace that ford is going all in on backing away from IC engines. The new ‘lectric mustang, uh, no. Unless they install an awesome sound generator to make it sound like a 7 litre DOHC through some S&S headers. LOL! Maybe it’s a suicide reduction effort. I mean getting in your prius with the garage door closed and cranking it up just ain’t cutting it. So, anyone install a CO sensor that’ll open your garage automatically if you forget? Crazytown.
What did communists use before candles? Electricity

What did Democrats use before candles? Electricity....

Just imagine if they had a whole bunch of something like, oh, i dunno, maybe coal to produce energy with
Question: How did people light their homes before candles?
Answer: Sometimes LEDs, sometimes fluorescents. Before that, it was incandescents.
And....buy a generator.
And once Bidum outlaws gas or oil production and sales in the US, what do you run your generator on?
I am switching to solar powered cars as soon as they hit the market. And may be even solar powered airplanes.
Yes I’m a Californian and most people I know in CA have bought generators by now—we did about two years ago. We’ve used ours now a few times. Another key thing apparently is to live in the same neighborhood as a hospital—their power isn’t cut as often.
I live next to great adventure, a large theme park here in central NJ, we always have power, and if it goes out, it is back online in no time.
Power companies don’t leave their million dollar customers in the dark too long
I had a friend who predicted they were going to turn the
United States into South Africa. Thought they were crazy.
Here we are.
Deepest, darkest, outback Africa...
A gas generator and a home energy storage battery, think house wide UPS, will smooth out a host of “irregular” power sources
The "Failed Crescent Dunes Solar Power Plant" outside of Tonopah NV., was obsolete before it got completed.
According to Bloomberg news:" Its power cost NV about $135 per megawatt-hour, compared with less than $30 per MWh today
at a new Nevada photovoltaic solar farm, according to BloombergNEF, which researches fossil fuel alternatives. "
The failed site was abandoned in April, and is now under the control of the Dept. of Energy.
But the Nevadians are responsible for the $727 remaining debt.
Driving that Prius is going to get pretty expensive for all that moral indignation over fossil fuels.
People are idiots. I honestly never believed that people would voluntarily allow the dismantling of the electrical grid, but it's happening before my eyes. More accurately, people take too many things of the miracles of modern life for granted.
