After averting blackouts Monday night, the managers of California’s electricity grid had to navigate a day when energy consumption in the state is expected to blow past the all-time record. SMUD issued a separate warning to the Sacramento region that blackouts could hit the area for the first time in 20 years.

“We’re heading into the worst part of this heat wave,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a video posted Tuesday morning. “The risk of outages is real and it’s immediate.”

Every conservative should run their appliances right in the middle of a recall. We’re not smart enough.

Let’s have another recall so that Newsom can garner another 62+% of the vote.

Next time he'll win 101% of the vote, North Korea-style.

California hypocrites. They refuse to burn coal but are taking all the coal powered electricity they can get from Idaho,Wyoming and Nevada.

It looks like UK, EU, and California are going to feel some burning green fever. Oh boy. Wintertime in the UK will be a "blast" too! Made your bed, now lie in it.

And this has been a very mild summer.

The recent heat of the last few days, totally normal, hasn’t been excessive either.

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is a community-owned electric utility serving Sacramento County and parts of Placer County.[3] It is one of the ten largest publicly owned utilities in the United States, generating the bulk of its power through natural gas (estimated 35.2% of production total in 2020) and large hydroelectric generation plants (29.1% in 2020). SMUD’s green power (renewable) energy output was estimated as 33.8% in 2020.[4]

For some reason my mind goes to some of California’s well known LEFTist people & corps; Disneyland, Hollywierd, Silicon Valley, Alphabet, ... and on. Are they too on electron rationing? For that matter are they also on rationing for DHMO as well?

I’d feel sorry for California except they have brought a lot of this upon themselves. As a past President famously said; “Elections have consequences!” Well, seems that all those mandates to destroy hydro power, drain the reservoirs and get green is makeng the state dark and brown!

Oh, at the Apple presentation tomorrow? Bring your own flashlight and water please!

Meanwhile, California will continue to buy 30% of its energy from out of state, where they aren’t so picky about how to generate it.
