This BullSheit “order” in a state plagued by some of the worst electrical utility service (with frequent blackouts) in America. The highest rates (due to the most CORRUPT “utility regulation”) and DECREASING electricity generating capacity (due to the state phasing out, shutting down existing power generators they don’t like politically and almost ZERO new hydropower generators in 50 years).
Sorry, Gov. Newsome, but until some governor has the cajones to buck all the free utility bribe money and CLEAN UP California’s filthy, rotten, corrupt “utility regulation” — you simply won’t have the practical ABILITY to stop using gasoline.
And we know YOU won’t clean up the “regulation” since the governor’s office, legislature, and ‘regulators’ are all on the take (and have been, to be fair, for many years prior to your election). It would take a real man to stand up to all that “political pressure”.... (free corrupt $$$$) being sucked up greedily by so many California politicians
Maybe so. But the rolling blackouts from lack of renewables last an hour or two. The multi-day blackouts are due to fire prevention which is a different problem. They do have some of the highest rates in America, 50% higher than the national average, 75% higher for commercial and 130% higher for industry. They are a post-industrial state, but that doesn't mean they can't be fat dumb and happy using their smart phones. Those will certainly last through an hour or two rolling blackout.
