I beg to differ. It does not create risk. It creates blackout CERTAINTY.
The night Gavin Newsom announced to supporters outside that he had survived the recall election:
“Remember, everything happens first in California and then happens all over the country.”
Whoopee./S
Paper ballots it is, then.
Shorting the Grid by Meredith Angwin.
Long-time power industry insider shows where the bodies are buried,
I more and more am not looking forward to living a long life past now. Age 77. At least we had the “good old days” before the dark hell of Chinese Communist style dominance over us after November, 2024. Feel sorry for little kids who won’t know what freedom was and what individuality and being proud of being an American meant.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
― Ronald Reagan

Oh like they have in glorious S Africa?
I have been in the Electric Power Industry for forty years. It was obvious 30 years ago.
The EPA worked hard to eliminate the exemption for small old coal burners to be update to current regulations.
It is economical impractical spend millions updating a 50 megawatt plant to current EPA standards when it will only operate on a few days a year when the load is at its highest.
Instead the utilities spent those millions on gas turbine plants that could be built and operated without any emissions controls at all and could be fired up and loaded remotely within a few hours.
But now even those plants are under attack because the standards have changed and even a plant that produces no other waste gas than CO2 is under the EPA’s attack.
The EPA is a rogue agency that only exist now to destroy industry.
Third-world countries suffer from rolling blackouts.
Gosh, just like my days in Baghdad. Oh, sweet nostalgia.
Fox News just practiced a blackout on Kurt Schlicter tonight by cutting his feed as soon as he started saying that Palestinians needed to be taken out.
These woke lib whatever they are communists may be smiling now, but it will NOT go down good for them in the end. Think Mussolini.....
The GOPe will get on that immediately. /s
In Silicon Valley we saw this once a month around 2000.
Since I left, I’m pretty sure it has NOT gotten better.
NERC wants to make us NORK.
Just another way to test the controls
been telling my husband for many months that we need to take out the gas fireplace in our living room which never seems to really work and we don’t use and put a nice little wood insert in....we have plenty of wood....
Perhaps widespread blackouts are what is needed to end the solar farm and windmill folly. Pity the fools and their EVs who will be stranded
