I accidentally wound up in Florida some time in the summer. It was so humid you had to use your wipers when it was sunny. I was sweating just looking outside. No thank you.
West coast is different, it's a Mediterranean climate, much less humid and the ocean in California is cold so it has a cooling effect pretty much always
Unlike the Georgia coast that gets bath water beach days. A breeze just blows around the sweat beads on your face. You need a stick of deodorant/day and at least 4 shirt changes. And don’t even think about putting a bra on. Only things that cool you off is a baby pool full of well water, and parking your ass on a central AC floor vent. I’d take it any day over California.
uh, nope, the cool Cali coastal areas are quite difficult to get to and are sparsely populated. After the logging years, they have been havens for artists and surfers.
be a real shame if the distribution lines just north of Sacramento had an accident of the lines coming across at Nevada and Arizona went down. Real shame. But look at the upside, the opportunity to prove or disprove in a rational scientific manner the validity of green power.
They do own part of that nuke plant. Amazing how these libshits like the power nuclear makes but they dont want it in their own yard. Fuckin hypocrites.
My son & I are going to get solar panels & batteries, plus some windmills(the small portable ones). I don't want a big solar company involved because of the cost. There's a ton of companies offering solar generator/battery kits. Are those any good? I have a 12,000 watt gas/propane generator that was GOING to be my backup, but this fuel fiasco Biden created is making me think about switching. We can live through a blackout by switching to survival mode. The main power need we have is the fridge & freezer, cellphones, alarm system, sprinklers, & tools. We could get by with a portable system, but I need someone to tell me what to watch out for, which systems to avoid, which ones are good. Every single review site I look up is run by a solar installer & screw that!
Go ask the preppers they will tell you that you are gucci with that generator...as for the fuel for it they will throw a shitfit and say they got jerrycans...ask them how long it will last on those said cans and they will riot at your house because how dare you question their preparedness. You are correct those generators are good for a short time a day or a few if you have a stock of fuel but if its as bad as they claim it will be a gas generator is worthless as there will be no gas.
Yeah every company looked shady when I looked too. That’s why I went with Tesla. A little more expensive but awesome other than that. Everything comes with a ten year warranty, which was nice.
I bet Hollywood or silicon valley or newsome won't be without power.
Good news though, these types of things are what causes regime changes. When the whole working state of California can't afford fuel or get water or food, they'll wake up. And then we'll see Seth Rogan and those FAGGOTS horse drawn and quartered.
No, california is just majorly corrupt. It has all the signs, one party control, unpopularity, "wasteful" spending that's actually embezzlement, all the works.
Bigot, apple recommended me a podcast earlier that said all elections are safe and secure, the 2020 steal is the Big Lie. Move along, citizen…question anything and you’re a racist, homophobic, conspiracy theorist
Likewise, drivers will be forced to adapt to new charging times, with some being asked to plug in at work during the day, while others commit to set hours at night to ensure even distribution of energy capacity.
How am I going to charge my car at work when my charger is at home? Are you telling me I won't be able to charge my car at night? I spend 50 freaking K on a commuter and I can't even charge it at home? No freaking way.
Get all the methhead methed up then make the all run East at the same time and it will reverse the rotation of the earth, thereby turning back time. The only question, from a scientific standpoint, is do we have enough meth to get us all the way back to 2016.
All diesel engines are about to be socked with Tier 5 emissions. You thought particulate filters and DEF was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. It's their way of saying "oh well no diesel engines were able to meet regulations, better switch everybody to electric!" It's the same game the left always plays.. they create the problem and then offer a solution which just happens to take more of your freedom and autonomy.
It’s a combination of evil on the part of those wanting to enslave us and ignorant infantilism on the part of the prols. All part of the plan to deindustrialize the west into the Stone Age. I’m an environmentalist that’s more concerned about plastic/chemical poisoning and over harvesting of our resources. I’m done arguing against idiots that push green energy without any mention of nuclear.
Lmao, this is pretty much the scam with battery lawn mowers, buy the thing and it might get through your front yard. Now you need a 2nd battery that is basically the entire price of the mower to do the rest. This is assuming your yard is 1/4 acre
The key is to have 2 batteries so 1 is on a quick charger while you’re using the other one. If the batteries are large enough you should be able to cut non stop, more or less.
If you live in a townhouse electric yard equipment should be fine. 1/4 acre is probably max for a push mower. Lots of people in dense suburbia and the city should be ok.
I have a pretty good sized lot for my town, and a 40v string trimmer is adequate but not great. I bought it since the battery powered chain saw, pole saw, and hedge clippers worked great. But now that my trees are all caught up on maintenance I was barely using the batteries twice a year and that’s a recipe for them going bad. I’m going to end up replacing the carb on my old gas trimmer for edging tasks and brush cutting tasks. Electric will be relegated to quick string trims and generally backup duty.
not taking about batteries depleting naturally over the years. No more 30 years old good running lawn mowers that cost you only a small amount of gas and 1/2 litre of oil a year.
No. Hybrid, but preferably a multifuel combustion engine, so you can use grease if need be. The electric motorvation will kick in at low speeds or city cruising speeds.
Historically the energy needs has been solved by whatever is cheapest and most easily accessible locally. If you live in a forest for instance your car should run on producer gas. Look into old reliable combustion engines which runs on almost anything and you'll have plenty of alternatives.
your battery capacity will however deplete a few % every year though, which will eventually either make it a controlled obsolescence item or a good ol gasoline car.
my 98 toyota is still running strong on original engine, doing the same mileage as new, that's more my kind of thing.
This is the sort of hybrid I'd be interested in. Electric truck with a good sized burn-almost-anything engine-generator in the back that charges itself. It's like a choo choo train!
Watch 2000 mules, learn how they rig the elections, then make sure they can't rig it and finally, go and vote. Commiefornia has drop boxes as far as I know, fill them with trash so that the mules can't fit their fake ballots, become part of the team that counts the votes to stop the left from claiming those spots and cheat.
Take the identity of those who kick out election observers or fuck around in other ways, then shoot them while they're alone, bury 9ft deep and put dead raccoons over their bodies at 6ft depth.
Most importantly, never give up, that's how you lose. Commiefornia is a red state, it was before they started to rig elections. Look into the electors, that's 10-11% of the entire US only in Commiefornia, the biggest state of them all, no wonder the left steals it every year. It's much easier for them to do that than it is to rig elections in all 6 swing states, including Florida.
They used the Clinton years to thoroughly rig things in every place they had some level of control. Nixon - two landslide victories, Reagan - two landslide victories, HW Bush - landslide victory, with only the flukes Jimmy Carter and then the Ross Perot ordeal opening a path for Bill. They realized they had lost the country and had to rig fast if they wanted any hope of power in America.
The only downside of depopulating California would be the state demanding more federal subsidy due to decreased tax revenue (because no way in hell would they even consider budget cuts)
California ALWAYS has power problems. They always battle brownouts and blackouts. I wish neighboring states and Canada would shut off power to them and force them to build Nuclear Power Plants of their own.
It is damning that a 1st world country has brownouts/blackouts regularly. Last blackout where I live was more than a year ago and was caused by a lightning strike blowing up a transformer house. Within 24 hours it was fixed.
Especially the 4th generation reactors which can run on the waste from previous generations for hundreds of years ahead. Without any need to extract more uranium.
I would bow and kiss the feet of a nuclear engineer. They're basically wizards and I don't have the capacity to understand it all. They're basically the most important people on the planet, in my opinion.
What is the point of having people go solar if it doesn't seem to do anything? I have solar panels and it completely removed my grid energy usage. I'm in Texas though. California has even more solar customers. How can they still not keep up with production requirements?
A coworker mentioned how terrible nuclear is for the environment because the reactor or reactor cores don't biodegrade, leak into the surrounding terrain, and can't be recycled.
Can someone give me the counter argument? I read a comment on here a few days again stating nuclear waste could be recycled. Is that true?
Problem with "renewable" sources is that their production never match the energy demand on the grid. Demand will always vary over the day, on regular workdays demand goes up daytime because of the industries, then in the afternoon when everyone gets home from work to watch TV.
It's a very predictable pattern. And the only thing that can match that demand is regulated sources, like fossil fuel, dams or geothermal. Wind is completely useless, solar has it's place for off grid households with low energy usage, but is often useless on the grid.
Yep, this is the biggest flaw with electricity. Tho in the rare case that you'll find a source that's much cheaper than anything else, the inefficiency won't be a problem. Look into Europe for instance, each country went their own way when building their power grids based on what source would be cheapest locally.
Then came the environmentalists and decided to go all in on wind and suddenly most countries grids fucked up completely.
This reminds me of the people I knew that put in solar panels a couple decades back. They lived in a north-south running valley. In the deep, deep woods. Right between the coast and a mountain range. In Oregon.
And their house sat right next to a completely untouched creek that ran high and fast much of the year, so much so it even became dangerous several times. But no one was allowed to develop it and create a desperately needed electrical source for locals or even just contain it... Because of a salamander if I recall.
Yep. The utility has to learn how to become the battery bank to store renewable energy while it’s abundant and transmit it out to customers when demand needs it.
Going solar without a battery bank of some kind doesn’t make much sense. But if you can create enough storage you can sell that stores energy back to the grid during peak usage and profit if your state allows it.
Several reasons. The first being you still need power at night. Unless you have a ridiculous battery system, you're using grid power. That goes for day use also, btw. If you don't have a battery system, you're just offsetting your usage from grid. You can not use your power without a battery system.
Now, look into the cali problems. You have a grid that's being slowly killed by the heat island effect and a solar war between the poor and rich.
The heat island effect is what's going on, not this bullshit "climate change" excuse. Population increases, cities get bigger, heat radiation goes up, need more juice for population to be comfortable. Now, add that some retard designed their grid system compounded with "you need to go electric because muh environment," you get a completely unstable grid system. Especially when you put band-aids on a 40ish year old shit-box instead of an actual upgrade. Go read about the la oil tubes.
Now the class warfare. Because of how many people in cali got their solar panels and battery systems and what not, there's a huge decrease of paying customers to keep the grid covered in those band-aids. So, now you have people that can afford solar vs the ones that can't and, you guessed it, they're being killed financially because the power companies lost all those people, they have to pay them for the generation of power, so your neighbors savings gets directly taken from you by a huge increase in your power bill.
But, thank God you bought that tesla you can't charge.
My friend in CA said his excess is just taken and he is charged a fee to be connected and for transferring that excess. He just gathered all his old computer equipment and mines crypto instead so there is no excess.
Their progress on sustainable drought resistance - shut down plans for desalination plant.
Sadly, if I didn't have memes constantly reminding me "They hate you." in the back of my head, I likely wouldn't believe it even while experiencing all of it.
But solar power isn't the problem, and neither is oil/gas or wind - it's power policy.
If only it was literal shit and not shit shit. At least literal shit is a good fertilizer and can be converted into biogas which is a good source of energy. 🤡
I'm almost positive Disney has a few Fallout-style Vaults running underneath them, the fact that they had it written specifically in their self governance contract so they could build nuclear reactors without any form of oversight and then to just not do it is way too suspicious for me...
That's a lot of a state that has so many mountains and rivers (perfect for hydro) and so much desert with mostly sun (perfect for solar). Communism really ruins everything.
Hmmm could it have to do with the belligerent decision to just shut down all nuclear and fossil fuel power plants without any plans whatsoever to match demand with renewables. This is another Enron situation. They plan to buy power from Nevada at triple the price.
I’m making over a million dollars this year selling solar in California no vaccine no mask no questions asked I got hired as the regional director get salary commission bonuses and underwriting. Fuck black outs fuck California I’m getting this money and running away to lake havasu where every store and house has a Trump flag or a let’s go Brandon flag boats trucks guns half naked woman with tans everywhere no weirdo fag shit anywhere life will be amazing in the future
...you mean photovoltaic panels? Because that's very much not a DIY thing to build, if you want DIY go with a bunch of mirrors and a solar boiler, preferably filled with something that has a heat capacity than water.
I have a well. The problem is that I don’t have a generator big enough to power my well. I do keep 30 gallons of well water on hand plus some bottled water.
For fucks sake. EVERY TIME the issue with the grid not being able to support EVs is brought up in car forums, some dummy inevitably comes along and starts in about how “ACKCHYUALLY according to experts the grid is just fine and everyone should buy an EV!” And yet here we are. These stupid faggots think the world is going to run on solar panels and wind. You can’t have hydroelectric, you can’t have nuclear, natural gas is making muh CO2 so that’s right out. Oh yeah, and don’t even bother looking into alternative fuels for combustion engines, cause the future is most definitely battery powered cars made with lithium mined in China. Yeah fuck off with that nonsense.
Lol ain’t that the truth. I don’t even hate EVs necessarily, but the fact that nearly all lithium comes from outside the US and largely from China/Chinese controlled mines is a massive national security issue.
Californias political establishment is cutting electrical generation - cutting natural gas steam plants, forcing nuclear to go offline, forcing hydro to stop generation.
Our elites are caught up in overlapping webs of foreign money networks involved in politics and centralized control of media by the few holding companies that own 90% of all media sources in the state.
The ground is being prepared to collapse this state through negligence and corruption.
Our bread basket central valley - gone.
Our high tech aerospace and digital technology and software - gone.
Our military bases and population centers - gone.
We need America to reinvade California. Our domestic billionaires have underplayed their hand. They make their money off of government or they make their money off of the dismantling of California.
You write off California, you can write off this country all the way East to a few choke points and rivers in the Rocky Mountains.
California has set out to become a leader in the green transition, aiming to rid its electrical grid of all carbon sources by 2045. The state is already the nation’s top producer of solar, geothermal, and biomass energy, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with renewables accounting for more than 30% of the energy generated in the state.
California is the leader in Green Energy, which is why the state is short on power. Retards.
LMAO dumb faggots.
I can’t imagine living somewhere and just accepting that I’ll have to deal with rolling blackouts for several months every year.
Those rolling blackouts sure as fuck wont effect certain groups of wealthy people.
Yes, wealthy people who have thier own backup power supply.
They also live on the coast. no ac required
3000% humidity is a typical day in the southeast. Fucking miserable but we just deal with it.
I accidentally wound up in Florida some time in the summer. It was so humid you had to use your wipers when it was sunny. I was sweating just looking outside. No thank you.
Swamp ass… good times.
NC, AL, FL, TN
Just came in from pine barking blueberries. Holy crap. 88 degrees, 75% humidity.
The only thing that saved me was a brisk South wind.
Heat and humidity teach patience, and cold makes you strong.
I live in Houston. You'll be fine, cupcake.
(Edit: replaced "sweetheart")
He can't breathe!
West coast is different, it's a Mediterranean climate, much less humid and the ocean in California is cold so it has a cooling effect pretty much always
Unlike the Georgia coast that gets bath water beach days. A breeze just blows around the sweat beads on your face. You need a stick of deodorant/day and at least 4 shirt changes. And don’t even think about putting a bra on. Only things that cool you off is a baby pool full of well water, and parking your ass on a central AC floor vent. I’d take it any day over California.
uh, nope, the cool Cali coastal areas are quite difficult to get to and are sparsely populated. After the logging years, they have been havens for artists and surfers.
be a real shame if the distribution lines just north of Sacramento had an accident of the lines coming across at Nevada and Arizona went down. Real shame. But look at the upside, the opportunity to prove or disprove in a rational scientific manner the validity of green power.
Id be pretty broken up about it
They do own part of that nuke plant. Amazing how these libshits like the power nuclear makes but they dont want it in their own yard. Fuckin hypocrites.
A slight correction, the San Juan coal generating station is in New Mexico, not Arizona. Democrap policies will be completely shutting it down.
There’s a few coal plants the retarded faggots in Sac shut down.
unplug the fuckers
Might as well move to Venezuela. At least the cost of living is cheaper lol
And they have oil.
And no joggers.
And you can eat your pet.
Venezuela is wild. I'd eat my pet if it was life or death, but that's fucked up
I would eat your pet also.
Owning guns has entered the chat
Yeah I like my little buddy as well. All 94 lbs of dumb bird dog
Pets can provide mental benefits in the apocalypse.
And they have the best patients in the world. Because of jail.
How much food can I put in carry on luggage?
It’s been happening for decades. Not for me though, I have panels and batteries so I haven’t paid for electricity in a while
Doesn't panel efficiency deteriorate 10% every year or two
Don’t they get you on maintenance costs for that?
No maintenance costs from Tesla or my electric company. They were talking about passing a new law about it but they dropped it.
My son & I are going to get solar panels & batteries, plus some windmills(the small portable ones). I don't want a big solar company involved because of the cost.

Make gas unaffordable. People buy electric cars. Turn off power.👍🏻
Even better empty your vehicle's charge to power rich persons A/C, then can't get to work as no power to get there.
Didn't they ban gas generators last year in California as well? Did that pass? Lol
But... The wind farms and the solar panels... I thought California had unlimited free renewable energy? North Korea, USA.
North Korea, but with more Inclusiveness(TM) and Our Values, Inc.
Short, concise, to the point.
Your response is masterful and you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Saw a Newsom reelect ad yesterday. Fml
The Democrat campaign boiled down to a single sentence.
Democrats want to murder everyone. Yes, including the wimmin and minorities whom they claim to protect.
Are you against equality or something?
Dats racists.
And the number of midwits and elite, "educated" professionals here who actually believe some version of this is quite staggering.
I guess we saw the same commercial. Don't watch TV, but the local news was on at a place I was eating at last week.
And he'll get reelected in a landslide. Californians are majorly retarded
No, california is just majorly corrupt. It has all the signs, one party control, unpopularity, "wasteful" spending that's actually embezzlement, all the works.
Bigot, apple recommended me a podcast earlier that said all elections are safe and secure, the 2020 steal is the Big Lie. Move along, citizen…question anything and you’re a racist, homophobic, conspiracy theorist
Commifornia pede here. This is exactly how i feel.
2016 - Totally insecure (because an outsider won despite them cheating)
2020 - Most secure election ever (because they "beat" the outsider with unprecedented fraud)
I live amongst them. I concur
Many Sheeple do live in California, but there are still very many red blooded Americans on the interior
I'm still here.
Like me. Like Devin Nunes.
How am I going to charge my car at work when my charger is at home? Are you telling me I won't be able to charge my car at night? I spend 50 freaking K on a commuter and I can't even charge it at home? No freaking way.
Just buy a back-up electric car
The correct answer is take the bus with all the homeless guys. You will own nothing.
Why not pay two homeless guys, in meth, to carry you to work?
If you get the meth heads up to 88 miles per hour, can we go back to 2016-2020?
Oh, tv show idea. Methbusters.
It’s already called tweaked hunters 😂
Jumping Gigawatts!
Get all the methhead methed up then make the all run East at the same time and it will reverse the rotation of the earth, thereby turning back time. The only question, from a scientific standpoint, is do we have enough meth to get us all the way back to 2016.
Haul around a backup portable electric generator powered by … diesel.
They banned generators remember? Lmao.
All diesel engines are about to be socked with Tier 5 emissions. You thought particulate filters and DEF was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. It's their way of saying "oh well no diesel engines were able to meet regulations, better switch everybody to electric!"

How many homeless people does it take to pull a car?
Reminds me of how in the Depression, people would pop the engine, motor, all the heavy stuff out of their trucks in order to pull them around easily.
3, one to pull the car, one to hold the whip and one to beg you for change. 🤡
I have a Volt which runs on full electric or gas. I like it.
your battery capacity will however deplete a few % every year though, which will eventually either make it a controlled obsolescence item or a good ol gasoline car.
my 98 toyota is still running strong on original engine, doing the same mileage as new, that's more my kind of thing.

Yes. That's what they are telling you.
Don't bother voting in CA; It's all been rigged since the '90s.
Watch 2000 mules, learn how they rig the elections, then make sure they can't rig it and finally, go and vote.

Also, how are you going to escape the yearly wildfires when your car has no juice because the electricity has been shut off?
Ruh roh!
The only downside of depopulating California would be the state demanding more federal subsidy due to decreased tax revenue (because no way in hell would they even consider budget cuts)
Thry would like to cut off your home charger remotely
That's going to be fun waking up to an uncharged car.
Its in your best interest! Trust us!
Da comrade. Velcum to communism.
You know what will fix that?Giving more money to the government,electric cars and more wind turbines,bigots.
Don't forget to make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share. That will lower inflation as well...
If only those evil Republicans in California would let the Democrats fix this!
That also fixes the weather! But more tax money, also.
California ALWAYS has power problems. They always battle brownouts and blackouts. I wish neighboring states and Canada would shut off power to them and force them to build Nuclear Power Plants of their own.
It is damning that a 1st world country has brownouts/blackouts regularly. Last blackout where I live was more than a year ago and was caused by a lightning strike blowing up a transformer house. Within 24 hours it was fixed.
Back in the day we impeached Davis because of the blackouts and poor power planning, but of course it's only gotten worse since then.
they have to turn off the power to prevent wildfires
Coming up soon when the wind starts blowing.
Or whenever some eco terrorist gets a hold of some matches

Hey, how did you do that (Sauce) link by your name? Is that a new feature I'm not seeing?
Good thing they shut down the greenest form of energy production there is; nuclear.
Especially the 4th generation reactors which can run on the waste from previous generations for hundreds of years ahead. Without any need to extract more uranium.
No kidding??? That's awesome
I would bow and kiss the feet of a nuclear engineer. They're basically wizards and I don't have the capacity to understand it all. They're basically the most important people on the planet, in my opinion.
But everyone get an EV
No Air Conditioning in California for the Summer...
HUGE BIDEN VICTORY!!!
The Italian government is limiting the use of aircond in the summer and heating in the winter because muh Russia.
Sweat it out to beat Putin who we are not at technically war with!
It is as if 5 million brand new illegals are maxing out the already inadequate system
Watch this administration go from peddling electric cars to actual bicycles for our solution. We will be a 3rd world country under them...
Land yachts.
What is the point of having people go solar if it doesn't seem to do anything? I have solar panels and it completely removed my grid energy usage. I'm in Texas though. California has even more solar customers. How can they still not keep up with production requirements?
Democrat policies put the cart before the horse. Solar could be a decent supplement if we had a main source of power, like idk nuclear.
And if you live in a state where the sun shines all the time.
and no snow on your solar panels, like here where we have snow on our roofs 5 months a year
A coworker mentioned how terrible nuclear is for the environment because the reactor or reactor cores don't biodegrade, leak into the surrounding terrain, and can't be recycled.
Can someone give me the counter argument? I read a comment on here a few days again stating nuclear waste could be recycled. Is that true?
We've come a long way since then. The tranny Biden hired actually did research on recycling nuclear better.
The reactors we have now are from the 70s I think.
Problem with "renewable" sources is that their production never match the energy demand on the grid. Demand will always vary over the day, on regular workdays demand goes up daytime because of the industries, then in the afternoon when everyone gets home from work to watch TV.
It's a very predictable pattern. And the only thing that can match that demand is regulated sources, like fossil fuel, dams or geothermal. Wind is completely useless, solar has it's place for off grid households with low energy usage, but is often useless on the grid.
Converting the electricity to a usable form is also incredibly uneconomical and inefficient. The whole thing is a farce.
Yep, this is the biggest flaw with electricity. Tho in the rare case that you'll find a source that's much cheaper than anything else, the inefficiency won't be a problem. Look into Europe for instance, each country went their own way when building their power grids based on what source would be cheapest locally.
Then came the environmentalists and decided to go all in on wind and suddenly most countries grids fucked up completely.
This reminds me of the people I knew that put in solar panels a couple decades back. They lived in a north-south running valley. In the deep, deep woods. Right between the coast and a mountain range. In Oregon.
And their house sat right next to a completely untouched creek that ran high and fast much of the year, so much so it even became dangerous several times. But no one was allowed to develop it and create a desperately needed electrical source for locals or even just contain it... Because of a salamander if I recall.
I bet that salamander somehow died because of a local wind turbine, but that's ok according to the woke left. 🤡
Yep. The utility has to learn how to become the battery bank to store renewable energy while it’s abundant and transmit it out to customers when demand needs it.
Going solar without a battery bank of some kind doesn’t make much sense. But if you can create enough storage you can sell that stores energy back to the grid during peak usage and profit if your state allows it.
How about the n-word that is anathema?
Several reasons. The first being you still need power at night. Unless you have a ridiculous battery system, you're using grid power. That goes for day use also, btw. If you don't have a battery system, you're just offsetting your usage from grid. You can not use your power without a battery system.
Now, look into the cali problems. You have a grid that's being slowly killed by the heat island effect and a solar war between the poor and rich.
The heat island effect is what's going on, not this bullshit "climate change" excuse. Population increases, cities get bigger, heat radiation goes up, need more juice for population to be comfortable. Now, add that some retard designed their grid system compounded with "you need to go electric because muh environment," you get a completely unstable grid system. Especially when you put band-aids on a 40ish year old shit-box instead of an actual upgrade. Go read about the la oil tubes.
Now the class warfare. Because of how many people in cali got their solar panels and battery systems and what not, there's a huge decrease of paying customers to keep the grid covered in those band-aids. So, now you have people that can afford solar vs the ones that can't and, you guessed it, they're being killed financially because the power companies lost all those people, they have to pay them for the generation of power, so your neighbors savings gets directly taken from you by a huge increase in your power bill.
But, thank God you bought that tesla you can't charge.
My friend in CA said his excess is just taken and he is charged a fee to be connected and for transferring that excess. He just gathered all his old computer equipment and mines crypto instead so there is no excess.
Their progress on sustainable drought resistance - shut down plans for desalination plant.
Sadly, if I didn't have memes constantly reminding me "They hate you." in the back of my head, I likely wouldn't believe it even while experiencing all of it.
But solar power isn't the problem, and neither is oil/gas or wind - it's power policy.

Everything they touch turns to shit.
If only it was literal shit and not shit shit. At least literal shit is a good fertilizer and can be converted into biogas which is a good source of energy. 🤡
Or jenkem
meanwhile, at the hall of justice...
Pedos are underground with hydrogen fuel cells running until the food eaters fight the battle royale on the surface.
I'm almost positive Disney has a few Fallout-style Vaults running underneath them, the fact that they had it written specifically in their self governance contract so they could build nuclear reactors without any form of oversight and then to just not do it is way too suspicious for me...
im sure the Cali Elite wont see power loss
50% of their power comes from natural gas. Good luck transitioning to everything electric
That's a lot of a state that has so many mountains and rivers (perfect for hydro) and so much desert with mostly sun (perfect for solar). Communism really ruins everything.
Communism: making a first world today into a third world tomorrow.
Hmmm could it have to do with the belligerent decision to just shut down all nuclear and fossil fuel power plants without any plans whatsoever to match demand with renewables. This is another Enron situation. They plan to buy power from Nevada at triple the price.
I’m making over a million dollars this year selling solar in California no vaccine no mask no questions asked I got hired as the regional director get salary commission bonuses and underwriting. Fuck black outs fuck California I’m getting this money and running away to lake havasu where every store and house has a Trump flag or a let’s go Brandon flag boats trucks guns half naked woman with tans everywhere no weirdo fag shit anywhere life will be amazing in the future
does everyone share her?
Lmao I was blessed by god with a dick and a brain but only enough blood to use one at a time and as you can see at this time which one I was using lol
HaHAHAHAHA....breathe HAHAHAHA
Democrats want you to die, quickly.
That sentiment is only ½ returned.
I want libshits to die painfully.
With blackouts you may get your wish. How would anyone know?
Be ungovernable. DIY offgrid solar is a thing and the only thing you need an electrician for is your panel work for your inverter and transfer switch.
If only it was this easy for a private well....
Last time I was quote a private well it was $7K, I live next to a spring and have great water.
This site is pretty useful: https://drillyourownwell.com/
...you mean photovoltaic panels? Because that's very much not a DIY thing to build, if you want DIY go with a bunch of mirrors and a solar boiler, preferably filled with something that has a heat capacity than water.
A survival level well can be done easily if you live in the right place. This well would be perfect as no electricity is required to run it.

I have a well. The problem is that I don’t have a generator big enough to power my well. I do keep 30 gallons of well water on hand plus some bottled water.
my smaller 3000W generator can power the well (only the well) if needed. You don't need that big of a gen. It's at the limit though when it turns on.
Make sure to get an electric car to overload the system further too!
I hate my state. And by that I mean the assholes who run this shit, not the gorgeous amount of natural beauty and resources.
For fucks sake. EVERY TIME the issue with the grid not being able to support EVs is brought up in car forums, some dummy inevitably comes along and starts in about how “ACKCHYUALLY according to experts the grid is just fine and everyone should buy an EV!” And yet here we are. These stupid faggots think the world is going to run on solar panels and wind. You can’t have hydroelectric, you can’t have nuclear, natural gas is making muh CO2 so that’s right out. Oh yeah, and don’t even bother looking into alternative fuels for combustion engines, cause the future is most definitely battery powered cars made with lithium mined in China. Yeah fuck off with that nonsense.
Well ACKCHYUALLY , lithium isn't just mined in chyna. There is Africa and Afghanistan too. Chyna only owns the strip mines.
Lol ain’t that the truth. I don’t even hate EVs necessarily, but the fact that nearly all lithium comes from outside the US and largely from China/Chinese controlled mines is a massive national security issue.
Californias political establishment is cutting electrical generation - cutting natural gas steam plants, forcing nuclear to go offline, forcing hydro to stop generation.
Our elites are caught up in overlapping webs of foreign money networks involved in politics and centralized control of media by the few holding companies that own 90% of all media sources in the state.
The ground is being prepared to collapse this state through negligence and corruption.
Our bread basket central valley - gone.
Our high tech aerospace and digital technology and software - gone.
Our military bases and population centers - gone.
We need America to reinvade California. Our domestic billionaires have underplayed their hand. They make their money off of government or they make their money off of the dismantling of California.
You write off California, you can write off this country all the way East to a few choke points and rivers in the Rocky Mountains.
I am a bit worried some people may be cooked alive in that unbearable California heat
I am worried some may not.
it's a dry heat
me too
it will stink like hell
"buy more electric cars!"
Hey I’ve seen this one.

Ahahahahaha fuck you California!
Don't they do this every year? Isn't it just blackout season?
So, same as the last five years.
Just get more wind mills. What's the problem?
They do that every summer
Step 1: Mandate electric cars.
Step 2: Don't build new power plants.
Step 3: Oh, shit.
Step 4: Move to Texas
Step 5: GOTO Step 1
Brace for blackouts as more and more of the truth of our wicked politician's dirty deeds come out, they meant.
Gonna have to draw memes with crayons and mail them to people
They were in terrible shape before the push for electric cars. If it got too hot or windy, had to shut off power to avoid massive wildfires.
"Just buy an electric car"... some government fag with no grounding in reality...
But also, buy more electric cars.
Retards.
Ahahahahahahha
Why don't they buy a gas can and fill it with extra energy for the blackouts ahead. Oh...they can't cause it's an oversized tonka truck.
California is the leader in Green Energy, which is why the state is short on power. Retards.
Imagine thinking this wasn’t anticipated more than a year ahead of time…
You’d think with the rate California is hemorrhaging residents, they would at least try to figure out some solution to their energy problems
CA has litterally been going through this for multiple decades. makes you wonder.
It doesn't make me wonder.
ROFLOL what a bunch of retards!
Third world state.
What about all the remote professionals? They just won’t connect to the internet and work?
If they knew this will happen why not prepare so it doesn't happen?
The government prints money and gives it to them?
Obviously because they're making it happen on purpose to keep their subjects broken and beaten.
