Central valley 105 to 108 today, not like it’s never this hot during the summer
My first day there, working in the sun on gunboat repair, I got sunburned through my t-shirt. And these were the old really thick white Navy t-shirts. Yikes. Well, I was 19. I wouldn’t survive it today.
August 31-September 7, 1955: Los Angeles hits 110 degrees on September 1, an all time record.
Yep. That was it. I was about 7.
Of course that is what they are really referring to but won’t say. The Colorado River is still running like hell though.
4 PM to 9 PM is when all those EV’s will be plugging in........
I remember having a kids wading pool for my Labrador that FROZE one winter in the San Fernando Valley.
...and will they let them charge their electric cars?
Hey…build another windmill…
Do those requirements apply to all California State buildings ? Does Gavin have to sweat, too ????
However, if you need to charge your electric vehicle you bought to "fight global warming" or "climate change" or whatever the term du jour is, no problem. That's what coal-fired power plants (in other states, of course) are for.
No…they are unsalvageable…
Liberal Californians are NOT welcome in Florida. You made your bed, now sleep in it.
Any bets on when Hoover goes off?
There is a huge Colorado River, water shortage. Arizona and Nevada and Mexico are going to have their water supplies even further reduced,............but NOT California. The federal government is sparing them further misery.
California was looking at a major desalinization water project, but it wasn't environmentally sensitive to Global climate change ocean levels, so they canceled it. Now they are working to beg, borrow and steal water anywhere they can.
California once has a decent power system, but then they decided that conservation combined with solar and wind energy would supply them with all the electricity they needed.
Sure, they promoted electric vehicles which require more electricity, electric trains in major city rail switch yards, electric gardening equipment (lawn movers, leaf blowers, weed whackers, etc.); but no new thermal power plants. Oh and yes, remove the dams and hydro generation from Klammath Falls, and shut down those coal fired power plants they rely upon and those even nuclear power plants.
I am sure that political pressure will be put on the Bonneville Power Administration to sell California all the power it needs to keep the lights on............even if it means reliability problems in the Pacific Northwest. After all what California needs, needs to be provided.
Wait, I was told it’s always 68-72 degrees in California.
Colorado’s drought has broken. We are getting rain in the desert and mountains, and flash floods, which is how droughts break. The water buffaloes west of Colorado should get more water next year, we’ll see how the snowpack goes. The big mistake was the big water deal that used a 20 year period of rainfall that turned out to be higher than the 20 years prior to and after it.
