Six months after a historic failure in the Texas power grid which collapsed when various "Renewable" sources of electricity failed concurrently and dragged down the entire network, California - that liberal utopia powered by renewable power and/or unicorn flatulence - realizes it is about to get Enroned, and has made an urgent request for additional power supplies to avoid blackouts this summer, an extraordinary step after suffering from rolling outages less than a year ago.
State energy officials asked the California Independent System Operator, which runs most of the grid, to contract for additional power capacity for July and August on concern it won't be able to meet demand during the evening when solar production fades, according to a joint statement Thursday from grid, utility and energy agencies.
"California is using all available tools to increase electricity reliability this summer," the heads of the California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, and grid operator said citing "Unprecedented climate change-driven heat events, which are occurring throughout the West in combination with drought conditions that reduce hydroelectric capacity."
It's always someone else's fault that you could not properly budget even a few months in advance after keeping millions of people in the dark last year when California again blamed global warming.
The state narrowly avoided rolling power outages recently as extreme heat came early this year, and with few new generation sources on the immediate horizon supplies tighten when hot weather hits.
What is remarkable is that even Bloomberg, which has been on a crusade to crush non-green sources of power, admits that California's problem is the state's aggressive push to cut carbon emissions by shifting to renewable energy.
Because while electricity may not grow on trees in California but at least money still does.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
