That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

Democrats can enact laws that require all-electric homes and automobiles, but they cannot counter the laws of physics, specifically Ohm’s Law, the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

When the current increases (increased demand by all-electric homes) and voltage remains the same, the resistance increases, limiting the amount of electricity that can pass through the electrical grid. Neighborhood electrical grids will need to be upgraded for all-electric homes.

The electrical grid must be designed and built in new single-family subdivisions to support all-electric homes. The number of electrical transformers per home will increase, from one 50 KVA transformer per four homes to one 50 KVA transformer per two homes.

And how much will it cost existing homes to upgrade to all electric as they eliminate the natural gas distribution system?

The scum sucking elites will just say, let them eat cake, cooked on an open fire, but no gas.

Ohm well.

Seriously...better start building some serious nuclear generation and hydrogen cell technology YESTERDAY!

California long ago mandated low flush toilets, and low water “energy efficient” washing machines. Both of those are pretty awful.

They hardly never think about the second and third effects because they are only focused on their narcissistic behaviors and give-a-ways of treasury to get their LCD base to support them in the next election.
But”some how, they manage.”

Pretty soon only the woke Amish will be left in the golden state and eventually the entire west coast. Oops, forgot to add Colorado.

From energy to pronouns, we live in a world of utter delusion. It is not sustainable. We are near implosion.

No electricity for homes, what about cars?!

And while they destroy California and the US, China and India have free reign to use coal, petroleum, and whatever they want, laughing at the destruction of the US.

I'm all for nuclear power. But we're not doing that. The only nation who's capable of pulling that off right now would be the French. We have to give them credit where it's due.

Just about every day I have at least a fleeting thought that something has to give. But maybe implosion is where we’re headed. Halfway there anyway.

Might as well. Gen Z is woke. That's where we're heading. There won't be much resistance by then. Maybe some MAGA diehards by 2050 in Florida and some flyover states. But they will have 40% of the popular vote. Same deal you see in Canada today.

low flush toilets

The trick to those is to flush before you sit down (wetting the porcelain keeps the dirt from sticking), twice as a courtesy, and once when you finish.

And there you go: government efficiency.

AB 8, 9 and 10 forces more density on existing neighborhoods, in many cases tripling the load / Demand not just on existing power but, water and sewer systems.

Most older neighborhood’s utilities were already overloaded. You can only get so much through a pipe or wire.

As far as I know PG&E and SoCal Edison didn’t pull Gavin Newsom aside when he was mandating all this and say “hey bud, have you lost your everlovin mind?’. So basically they own it.

You have to flush before you go to make sure it won’t overflow after you go.

“Neighborhood electrical grids will need to be upgraded for all-electric homes.”

This. The electric system upgrades from generation to transmission to distribution will be vastly expensive.
And CA electric rates are already silly.
