[Truthoverpower]

Had three jobs this week up in Sebastopol Forestville and Santa Rosa and I’ve been spending time at the Russian River

It’s a Mickey Mouse little creek where people pay to float or canoe down the little shallow Creek but it is cool I’ll tell you that!

My new favorite spot. lake Sonoma

Lake Sonoma is stunningly beautiful and completely and utterly remote

Windmills can not keep up?

Welcome to BIDENISTAN, suckas!

[Billie Bud]

If only we were finished with fossil fuels and all put MORE burden on the power grid with electric cars!!! That will fix it!!

[Fungi]

Can’t provide enough electricity, can’t provide enough water, but they can build a train to nowhere....wait, never mind.

[Mariner]

It was only about 95deg in the Big Valley today.

Tomorrow it will be 110.

[a fool in paradise]

Apparently it hasn’t been a sunny late spring.

[Taffeys]

Californians to Cal ISO -- FU!! Build some power plants! Meet our needs. It really isn't that hard. We did it for well over 100 years.

[Rural_Michigan]

109* at my house in Joshua Tree today.

Gasoline/diesel vehicles are not on the grid

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

At the same time they are banning natural gas.

Does the lake have any water in it? We drove by Shasta Lake a couple weeks ago. Egads, it is LOW!

[Bob434]

Swell, and what a perfect time to be pushing for electric cars too! Enjoy the show Cali-

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Unfortunately, we’ve been on this stupid “Negawatt” trajectory for over 30 years. It has greatly accelerated with the greens capturing the federal government regulators and insisting coal and gas plants be shut down and only windmills and solar be built.

Any energy engineer knows this is crap and will not work. At least real energy engineers who were classically trained and not today’s engineers steeped in gaia crap.

[Mariner]

It’s 117deg in Las Vegas right now, with 5% humidity.

So it’s a dry heat.

Like the heat that hits your face when you open the oven.
