That’s one way to reduce electricity usage. Mother Gaia will be pleased.

Back in the 60s and 70s we were warning enviro-nuts that they’d end up freezing to death in the dark.

I guess the discomfort factor is just as great at 110ͦ as it is at -10ͦ

Well, breach some more dams. Don’t build any nuclear electric producing plants. Quit using coal power electric producing plants. And above all, buy more electric cars that have to be recharged at night.

...can't put my finger on it but didn't I hear someone say something about electricity rates necessarily skyrocketing?

Filed under be careful what you wish for.

They voted for people who put forth these liberal energy policies to save the planet

Lets see if they walk the walk now

I imagine that 70ᵒF above body temp is about as fatal as 70ᵒF below - given a long enough exposure time

California’s a Garden of Eden
A Paradise to live in, or see
But believe it or not
You’ll find it much too hot
When you ain’t got the dough-re-mi

yours is a limited example.

people can go into shade and get 10-15 degrees cooler instantly

people can go into caves or underground and get cooler right away

people can go into water and cool down

people can receive useful cooling effects from sweat and/or water and air currents

to warm yourself in cold always requires a near-continual or continual heat source, lest you are immediately in unrelenting cold again

further you have more food options in heat than cold, things do not grow in wintertime unless kept artificially warm, winter is not a growing season where we are above the equator

You can truly say that the RINO and Democrat policies/leaders of California have led to “electrifying” energy disasters (past, present and future).

Calling Ronald Reagan. You are needed in Sacramento, ASAP.

#7. Yes “Common sense isn’t common anymore”. Updating your comment, today we can confidently say about California’s leaders and policies that “Communist nonsense is dominating and destroying California today”.

Exactly. It gets tiresome wading through the same things posted over and over.

"the state will likely need “voluntary” electricity conservation this summer to avoid a repeat of last year’s blackouts."

And the difference between 'voluntary' blackouts and 'mandatory' blackouts is...?

What a surprise! When you close nuclear power plants, tear out hydroelectric dams, stop any expansion of natural gas heating, and double your electricity demand by allowing only electric cars, causing you to run out of electricity, you're surprised?
