As California braces for a heat wave this week, Pacific Gas and Electric
Co. warned Sunday of potential power shut-offs in parts of the Bay Area
and elsewhere in Northern California to help prevent its electrical
equipment from sparking wildfires.

PG&E officials were monitoring weather conditions for a possible public
safety power shut-off Tuesday in Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Napa, Shasta,
Solano, Tehama and Yolo counties. During the shut-offs, the utility
preemptively turns off customers’ power in areas with elevated fire risk
when weather forecasts predict gusty winds and dry conditions.

Dry, hot and windy conditions are in the forecast this week, raising the
risk of wildfires. The National Weather Service issued a red flag
warning for parts of the Sacramento Valley, Lake County and Solano
County. High temperatures in the North Bay valleys are predicted to
range from 100 to 110 degrees Tuesday.

“As of now, no PSPS has been called, and no customers have been
notified, as the potential event is more than two days away,” said PG&E
spokesperson Karly Hernandez.

Specific details — including addresses and maps that could be affected
by the shut-offs — are available two days before the shutoff, according
to PG&E’s website.

PG&E customers can sign up for text or phone call alerts on its website.

“We are committed to keeping our communities informed and will provide
updates as conditions evolve,” Hernandez added.

Guess what was on sale at Target and Walmart in California this weekend.

Battery powered UPS units capable of running smart phones, tablets, LED
lights and Internet equipment, $300.

Not enough capacity to run a 'fridge. We can see what the priorities
are in Newsom's administration. Bandaids here, bandaids there.

It is not really a government problem. There is not enough generation
capacity for the extreme temperatures. Does Newsom run the power plant?

He makes it so it is impossible to build one with all
they strings and regulations and bribes required.

His idiots have managed to shut down all but one
nuclear power plant and they are hard at work on
that one too.

Yes it is a "government problem" at the state and federal levels since
they regulate power and set rate limits.

You know the answer to your dumb question.

That is a dumb sweeping statement. Do you have specifics of what power
plants were not allowed?

That electric train is supposed to go from California to vegas it gets up
to a 120° If they can't handle 88° how was it gonna handle that. Can you
imagine being stuck out in the middle of the desert at 120° with no air
conditioning.



Another ill-formed Democrat belief that they can electrify and control
everything appears out of nowhere.

Don't worry, by the time they get the tracks laid in 3156 they might have
solved that problem.

It has _nothing_ to do with generation capacity. The public safety
power shutdowns are to avoid starting fires in hot, windy weather.

There's plenty of power. The problem is that PG&E returned all their
profits to shareholders and forgot to maintain the equipment and lines,
so their solution is to preemptively shut certain rural areas rather
than fix their system.

None of the affects any of the major population centers at all.

The same people who use puerile insults to describe Newsom are the ones
who have ridiculed the idea of global warming and climate change, and
the same ones who have resisted efforts to cut down CO2 emission and all
the other partial remedies that Newsom and others have suggested. What
a bunch of boobs!

If climate change is real, why are the globalist billionaire climate
change nazis still jetting around in their private jets burning up
"fossil" fuels?

As you sleep safely at night while military jets cruise overhead keeping
America safe from fools like yourself and Newsom.

How did you serve your country, little man? Delivering letters and
squirting chihuahuas with repellent?

That's a great idea actually.

I can hear the screeching now, "Turn Those Machines Back On!"



Bonus Hillary.

Hillary: "TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!"

That wasn't what I implied at all, Ms. third grade comprehension level.
I'm sure Newsom will be happy to send you some pesticide laced pot.
Give him a ring, (916) 445-2841.

I just googled this up:

https://rvmiles.com/california-generator-ban/

I knew they were putting in similar bans on leaf blowers and lawn mowers.

With government mandates to do away with fossil fuels pushing us to
electric vehicles and heat pumps they are bound to stress the grid.
