Gotta say, it was bold of Democratic Party convention organizers to let voters know they plan on passing federal energy policies that would transform the rest of the country into California. The Golden State is experiencing rolling blackouts even as the Democrats speak. Millions of people are having their electrical power turned off in the middle of a heat wave — more specifically, their air conditioners. Blackouts aren’t merely an inconvenience, it is an economic drag and dangerous to vulnerable populations.
California doesn’t have enough reliable power — which is to say fossil-fuel and nuclear energy – because it depends on intermittent sources like solar and windmills. California is what happens when quixotic political aspirations smother economic reality. I’m skeptical that most Americans – even Californians – will be willingly to roll back modernity for long. We’ll see.

Blackouts for Newsom and California,
Wildfires rage daily they say,

That hateful diatribe he delivered was reminiscent of Eastern European communists behind the old “Iron Curtain.” He even saw klansmen and supremacists galore. It was sheer insanity, cheered by Cindy McCain Jr. (aka Dana Perino) and that human rat Chris Wallace.
Too bad there are no murder hornets around for them as well.
When NYC had blackouts in the seventies, it lead to higher rates of pregnancy conception during the blackout period. Look on the bright side, California, if you still have any heterosexuals remaining in the state, you can look forward to a population increase with each rolling blackout and more electoral votes.
They are on their way in swarms followed by a cloud of locust, chased by poisonous frogs and imported black mambas.
California is just taking away the entertainment so they will have nothing to do in the dark....accept.... Great opportunity to build more voters in 18 years. Mass production. Ford had the right idea with mass production and assembly lines, and in this case, a “re” in front of it.
