CA, Dependent On Solar Power, Has Rolling Blackouts In Heat Wave. Hint: The Sun Sets At Night.

[Franklin Pierce]

In California, where reliance on solar power is favored over the idea of nuclear power, many Californians suffering through an intense heat wave over the last weekend lost power because of rolling blackouts. That loss of power was at least partially derived from one single fact:

The sun sets at night.

Jon Sexton of HotAir explains:

​

California’s energy grid is run by an organization called California Independent System Operator or Cal ISO. Cal ISO’s job is to turn various supplies of energy on or off and, if necessary, seek out energy from out of state to meet the demand for electricity in the state. On Friday and again Saturday Cal ISO simply couldn’t find enough supply to meet the demand so it called for a stage 3 emergency and ordered energy companies to simply turn off power to some customers to prevent the grid from flickering on and off for everyone. So the blackout wasn’t a surprise or the result of an equipment failure. It was an emergency response to a lack of supply.​

People get what they ask for until it affects them. If Californians are okay with high heat and no power so be it. They wanted green power, live with it.

Lol. Solar power bad now?

I always tell my friends when they complain.. oh well that’s the price you pay for living in paradise .

It is when you have your power turned off, but maybe you have TVA power which is supplied by clean nuclear power and dams?

They have been having rolling black out in certain parts of California for years. Their power grid is barely holding on by a thread . If a foreign country wanted to really mess with us , they could basically shut California down whenever they chose to .

Solar power is great when you have battery banks to store it..but not so much when you pump it back into the grid to offset your reduction of fossil fuel power..

Science.

The population of 39.5 million is not helping with the drain on their power grid.

The population of 39.5 million is not helping with the drain on their power grid.

39.4 million today, it's going down day by day, week by week.

Nolte: Failed State of California Urges Thermostats Be Turned Up to 78 Degrees

California’s Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging the residents of his failed state to turn their thermostats up to 78 degrees.

Here are some highlights from the governor’s August 20 guidelines:

No solar power not sufficient

 

[ButchPlz]

If lefties were serious about clean and effective power they'd be nuclear advocates. If they were part of a real party of science, they'd be nuclear advocates. If they wanted to reduce our greenhouse emissions and save the world, they'd be nuclear advocates.

But they're not, they're not, and they don't.

Slo Jo and Co. are going to quadruple down on stupid. From their climate crisis plan.

Within five years, we will install 500 million solar panels, including eight million solar roofs and community solar energy systems, and 60,000 made-in-America wind turbines.

Note - The solar panels will all come from China. Very few are made in the US.

Solar is good for specific uses. But it is not reliable enough to power a major economy. It is not reliable. If there was ever an industry that literally needed Just-In-Time delivery, it would be the electrical utility industry. Just on a very small scale, when you turn your light switch on in your home, do you want it to stay dark and dim until a good breeze comes along or when the cloud cover breaks apart? Now think if you are a big industrial customer...

I always have my house at 78...is that not the norm?

72 in my house. Not sure what’s normal.

I've got like 4000+ sq ft. I'll murder anyone who sets my thermostats to 72.

 

[utvolpj]

76 here but it's usually so hot in the summer that is plenty

Solar absolutely needs to be figured out though. Absolutely no reason for it not to be affordable and easily utilized in states like FL or AZ

They will make it up with illegal volume

And its six coal-fired plants.

Lib policies suck. They can literally screw up something like electricity.
