Isn’t hot weather usually accompanied by strong sunshine?
Aren’t the solar panels at their very best?
What am I missing?

Aren’t you tree huggers happy you killed every new power plant proposal for the last 30 years? The goods news: Newsom doesn’t have a clue how to help fix this, so you don’t need to worry about dieting. You’ll sweat it off, no problem.

One day they will convince federal government to mandate other states supply them even at the expense and harm to their own residents. Government will do it because of the sheer number of Electoral Votes.

In my corner of Arizona, we’ve had daytime temps from 73 degrees to about 87 degrees for over a month now. And rain? We’ve had on off rain nearly every day for about a month and a half.. It’s like Hawaii...Everything is super green.

CA needs to put 10 million energy sucking electric cars on the road. That should do it!

But, but, how will they charge their precious oversized electric golf karts?

But liberals would give up anything to be able to virtue signal in their EV.

F that. We are on location shoot in Burbank and it hit the high 90’s yesterday and Monday. Today’s almost as hot. Leftards want to kill themselves due to heat stroke for the worship of gaia, be my guest.

To prevent power outages, residents and businesses are asked to turn off lights

Or, maybe they'll see the light and vote Republican next time.

Nothing will prevent power outages as Hoover Dam is going dark very soon.

Like your oven. :-)

L.A. isn’t all that dry, by the way. The ocean breeze makes it pretty muggy quite a few miles inland.

California already “exports” their demand to Arizona and Nevada. When those states had enough that’s when you’ll see California libs demand parity from the rest of it’s neighbors.

The next generation will simply recognize the Climate Cult as a religion.

I guess California will have to fine the utilities again and put them out of business, that’ll show them.

Your not missing anything....solar sucks.

On a side note the electric authority where I am recently slapped extreme restrictions on people with solar panels selling power back to them.

Also, my wife showed me an article yesterday about some home owners insurance companies in our state are now looking to drop policy holders with solar panels mounted on their roofs. There reasoning is it compromises the integrity of the roof structure.

I’ve always thought that to be the case.
