Dumb bastard and his fellow travelers caused this and they believe they can command and intimidate their way out of it.

When CA decided to force the public utilities to purchase all residential and commercial solar at RETAIL rates they removed incentive for the utilities to build more 24-hour X 365 generation.

After all, why put up $300 million when most of the time you cannot sell the power.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

He’s right.

Pretty soon no one will have any electricity so there will be no roaming blackouts :)

Just watch. His pinko “solution” will be mandated government control over every thermostat in the state.

Some laws cannot be broken.

The law of economics is one of them.

‘Simply unacceptable.’ Gavin Newsom says California rolling blackouts can’t happen again

Even as they are slated to happen again repeatedly, today, this week and well into the future. And Newsom says nothing about the complete responsibility he and other Democrats hold for this failure in basic public service. How many CA elderly are going to suffer during these heatwaves as power is cut off at the worst possible time?

Duuuuh. The name of California comes from the Latin Calidus Fornus (Hot Oven), via Spanish.

If pols can't prepare for heat, they need to get out of the frickin' kitchen.

The californication state politicians have been so corrupt for so long ( including anything they can make large sums of money From like utility “regulation” In California especially) That this Newsome public posturing now is totally worthless.

Since political pawn students are still using distance learning because of “Orange Man Bad” lockdown, and taking solar power into consideration, I question if total number home of home air conditioners actually takes more power to operate than total number of high school and college air conditioners.

Insights welcome.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.
