Cut power use means, no electricity for EVs.
Wonder if democrats will see the irony in that?

I remember being a kid in Los Angeles in the 50s and sitting on the front porch during Thanksgiving drinking lemonade because it was a freaking 100 degrees.

Left there for Texas 4 years ago. They intentionally don’t build enough energy and water infrastructure in order to cut down on world population. Yeah, its stupid, but hey...

<< Temperatures in the most populous state are forecast to climb to well above 100 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) during the afternoon. >>
I just looked at a weather map of the entire state. Average temps everywhere. Only triple digits are in the deserts, which is normal.

They want us to revert back to the stone age. Except in this stone age - No fires allowed due to climate change.

are asked to turn off lights and appliances and preset their thermostats to 78F (26C). Reducing usage is especially critical from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time (2300 to 0400 GMT)
= = =
But they don’t say to not charge your EV!

“The extreme conditions are the latest sign of the impact of climate change in the U.S. West, “
Ugh, SO sick of this presumption being stated as fact.
Too bad I will not be around to point and laugh when the next cooling cycle begins.

Yep. It’s population that’s straining power and water resources, not climate change. Stupid policy doesn’t help either.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
But, but, but, but Texas lost power during a one in a 100 year winter storm two years ago, therefore us Liberals is smarter then those ignorant Conservative White Supremacists in Texas.
Yes this is sarcasm but sadly it is exactly how Liberals really rationalize
