I think they're bending the rules on notifications for Davis. We went
Stage Two at 3:00.

At 3:00 this afternoon it was 109 degrees in Lancaster. How hot is it in Greyout Davis' office?
To: Robert357
Your numbers are confusing me.

I too think you are right, I think that the ISO is admitting it fibbed, but I thought you and others might appreciate this as well
What should be really interesting is that the press is now snooping around. I gave her some more things to check out. We shall see how this develops. If someone is fudging the status and the press keeps snooping, something might just leak out.
Greetings,
Bob, I appreciate your e-mail, and Vlae, thank you for finding me and making sure I received it.
Bob, you raise good points -- I just spoke with ISO and you are correct about the terminology and its meaning. Though papers, power experts and state officialas have used "alert" and "emergency" interchangably in the past, our organization now will use "emergency" to be fully accurate.
I understnd the ISO has some leeway before it actually declares the various stages ... a spokesperson I spoke with this morning agreed the supply had reached Stage 2 territory but quickly eased back out within minutes as demand dropped. However, I agree with you that a closer look at the parameters surrounding such decisions is worth it......(snip)....

Your numbers are confusing me. Sorry, if it is the WECC reserve numbers, try going to the current system status operations report and checking out the table that I couldn't easily format and copy into the reply box.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were saying that today is a Stage 2 Emergency! Wow two days in a row!!!!
To: Robert357
Way to go.
Make them high priced guys earn their keep!

Stage two and virtually nothing on the news. Last year, the media went absolutely bonkers over a stage two. This year you could here a (Gray Davis)pin(head) drop. It's going to take rolling blackouts to get peoples attention. And this year it looks like folks are going to be blind-sided.

Wow, you can certainly see when the mandatory "voluntary" cutbacks kicked in.

I'm sure that the media is soft peddling what is happening and the ISO is playing games to keep Red Davis from being embarassed even more.
Last May we were on vacation on the coast when the blackouts finally hit. Yet people were caught in rolling blackouts nor official block blackouts in the SFO area and the San Jose area. People were caught in elevators. Restaurants had to close due to inability to maintain food safety re required coolness for food. There were minor accidents due to signal lights losing power.
Later we had a couple of official blackouts.
Members of this watch team were speculating that some of the city power companies were rolling the blackouts on their own not to trigger the bigger ISO blackouts. Once those bigger ISO block blackouts hit, the entire state and the rest of the world knew about it.
Assume for a momement they had one of these local rolling blackouts in the area where the Phillips Refinery was without announcing it. That could have easily caused the problem that they had with that refinery today.
Would the maggot infested mediots of Kalifornicator help Davis in not publicizing the alert levels? You bet they would.
Hopefully Wall Street Journalists are watching and investigating these past two days and that problem with the Phillips Refiner today to see if bad local power supply caused a critical incidence.
Would the local/rat controlled power companies use a rolling blackout to avoid a big ISO blackout? You bet they would.

AFTER SAVING KALIFORNIACATORS FROM A DEVASTATING BLACKOUT, GRAY DAVIS WAS SEEN SELLING AUTOGRAPHED PICTURES OF THE HERO OF THE DAY, HIMSELF! 
DUMP BOZO DAVIS = VOTE FOR SIMON!

Wow, you can certainly see when the mandatory "voluntary" cutbacks kicked in. Don't you just love it, when things fall into the Mandatory Voluntary! category.
A few deans and the President of Chico state, and I went around the bend on Mandatory Voluntary with one of my sons, re him doing some mandatory voluntaring to do social work to get his degree. He didn't do it and still got his degree.

This is a very interesting link for the summary of demand versus supply over the 24 hour period.

That heat in Redding is unbelievable!
No wonder my son beat it back down here so fast!
