2519 There is no better sign you live in a third world country than rationed electricity. Venezuela: Planned blackouts because they failed to account for the unpredictability of energy sources. California: There are electricity blackouts due to the inadequacy of solar and wind power at peak demand.

I cannot fucking believe it. We are fucking SJW morons in New York - but even WE are not that fucking dumb. At least we have some rain nearby, so we can supplement coal with hydro-electric. Did California ban coal because climate change ? Do they have enough water there to generate ANY hydro-electric ? permalink save report block reply ▲ 1 ▼ – apawst8 1 point 220 days ago +1 / -0 Of course. CA gets a lot more sun than NY and has more unused land. So they have more solar than most states. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 1 ▼ – slaphappy2 1 point 220 days ago +1 / -0 LOL. Yeah, so they have more empty space to put up inefficient, government-subsidized solar farms that fail to provide for power needs, but beautifully provide virtue-signallng needs. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 1 ▼ – apawst8 1 point 220 days ago +1 / -0 I didn't say it was a good idea.
