This is BS.

This is another “set up” in the climate con job. WOuld not be surprised if the left is figuring out how to schedule these blackouts in the name of climate catastrophe so as to get people to cry “uncle .... ok ok you win oh great “climate scientists” ... please tell us what we must do to save the planet,... but can i please have just a little electricity, please, please?”

Now everybody gets it. Global Warming causes PG&E to shut down the grid.

A simple narrative for mass murder without being held accountable. Last time they blamed PG&E.

Now they want to shut down power in the desert where there is no vegetation.

It is just like 9-11, Mandalay Bay, and Paradise fires. They always pull this stunt on an occult pagan ritual day of sacrifice and search for innocent blood.

Monday night is a Blood Moon and day the covens seek to sacrifice. For next few nights, pay attention to your surroundings and keep the kids in before dusk.

There was a good thread here the other day, contributed to by California Freepers, that said the real problem is California’s failure to cut trees back a safe distance from power lines in forested areas so, if high winds blow and cause power lines to touch and spark, they won’t set trees on fire. That, and the general neglect of common-sense forest management.

Now everybody gets it.

Yepp ... instead of talking about bad weather and how unmanaged forests might cause cause catastrophe, climate doom and turning off one’s electricity is the narrative everyone needs to be focused on according to the climate hoaxers.

California will use this as a teaching tool to the kids.

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?

Worse yet, who would have figured that they would become the average middle class home of tomorrow?

We have to be conditioned to accept unreliable power. Green power does not work when it’s dark, cloudy, or the wind is too slow (or too fast).

That’s the problem right there. Glowbull Warming causes poor forest management.
Mostly in Kalifornia. But it’s global.

I’m glad somebody sees what they are doing.

Suing PG&E does nothing. They are bankrupt, so what?

Now we shut the grid and blame global warming.

Governor said “necessary”. Think about it.

Wind doesn’t help much when the switches are open.

I was particularly impressed with the bust of Obama above the point of the front fence.

I only deal with Medium to Low voltage.

Those big ones require a team.

“...Now everybody gets it. Global Warming causes PG&E to shut down the grid....”
The socialists/communists running the state pushed this: They forced the shutdown/curtailment of many of PGE’s own generating facilities within the state and then limited their maintenance budgets to practically nothing. They then made PGE buy outside power, but limited the price that PGE could charge for it such that PGE was paying more for that outside power than they could actually recoup from their customer base literally forcing them into bankruptcy. They prevented PGE from adequately clearing their power line right-of-ways for “environmental reasons”. This has been going on for years...it just didn’t happen overnight. With inadequate funds for maintenance of the line right-of-ways, it was destined to be a disaster in the making...which it was when a high voltage line failed causing wildfires, which in turn, caused lawsuits. PGE finally just “tossed in the towel” and shut em down to prevent any more future lawsuits and losses. It’s amazing that PGE has existed as long as it has. Welcome to socialism/communism....It’s insanity at its very finest.
It’s a tragedy that will become nationwide IF communism/socialism is allowed to continue to expand thru the entire country.

“...Typical middle class rural California home five years from now....”
That’s what the socialists/communists have planned for the future of American citizens. They’re insane and need to be stopped.
