State with no electricity demands everyone have cars that run on electricity

[6-eyed]

CA governor Gavin Nuisance has banned gasoline powered cars in the state, and expects to fulfill this objective by 2035.

Only problem is, this state's multiple blackouts and power shortages

Doesn't really matter, after all Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said we only have twelve years left anyway. We'll all be dead before we make the switch.

she is a special kind of retard that one

Gee. I live in Berkeley, my laptop is plugged in right now, so is my cell phone, my lights are on, my refrigerator, and fans are running. All of which are happening as I post this.

Also dipshit I've heard the press conferences. He is talking about a 15 year phase out. But you are either too stupid or too lazy to see what he actually said. Instead you go with the sensationalist headline. You might as well get your info from the Weekly World News. I remember the pictures of Bill Clinton with Bat Boy.

Could you please stop talking out of your ass? You have the same 11 year old level of insults that Trump does Probably also the some 11 year olds level of intellectual understanding. Granted your level of stupidity is only really harmful to you. No wonder why we are the laughing stock of the world.

If Trump gets 4 more years the US officially be a 3rd world country. And California will still be the 5th largest economy. Go figure.

Just for the record I remember how much of a twat Newsom was as mayor of SF. Trump even borrowed some of his policies regarding the homeless and instituted them with refugees.

Because your city is greedy and privileged. At whose expense are you given electricity?

The cause is the green energy, Cali governor pointed to the state’s shift to renewable resources as part of the cause for the supply shortage, adding that shutdowns to polluting gas power plants has created gaps in the state’s energy supply. Funny that natural gas isn’t bad for the environment, but shit on it they do. They want zero emissions. Good luck with that.

California is committed to a greener future, Newsom said the state “cannot sacrifice reliability” and promised that officials would be “much more aggressive … in making sure that is the case.”

[Rev J]

Wrong! I've been checking out the daily reports that the governor is giving regarding COVID and the Wildfires. They are cutting power in fire zones after it was found that previous wildfires were caused poorly maintained areas around power lines. Since I live closer to town and not in the hills where there is fire danger they didn't cut my power. They do it every year during fire season. After fire season is over the areas that don't have electricity right now will have it again. It's a part of the fire management plan.

Between the fines and damages that PG&E accrued from previous fire seasons, and a poorly maintained gas line that blew up a residential neighborhood in San Francisco has had to file for bankruptcy. Due to years of poorly maintaining the power and gas lines it's going to take years to fix it.

I realize it reads like the counterpart to half the horseshit leftist sources you post but it is in fact a fictitious article dumbass.

Thank you for saving my breath

Yeah, The Washington Post, and Time magazine are real leftist sources. Given the fact that the OP references articles from the UK Daily Mail and The Gateway Pundit as sources of fact and tried to pass off an air quality map as a global warming map means I should take his word for anything. I guess anything that doesn't tow the line in the current administration must be "Leftist Horseshit", anything that doesn't jive with the current administration is "Fake News", maybe we should have an official state sponsored news source (I'm being facetious).

the blackouts are real and have been a serious problem. i believe there has been some fatalities from older folks. tbe blackouts happen in southern california.

if they close diablo then i imagine problems will begin north of where the problems are now as well.

journalism is dead. on both sides to some degree.

[Din Djarin]

Are you talking about the two political sides? Lol. Good journalism goes beyond that, even if a news source or individual journalist has a leaning.
The primary reason its dying is because people don't pay for news like they used to.

[Din Djarin]

There should of course be more viable political facets/sides in your democracy anyway. This rigid thinking in two sides only, which opportunities are so limited at this point that it doesn't even suit a lot of the people who are supposed to support either side, limits more than just the chance for a voting citizen to identify with a party or candidate

[Din Djarin]

Can't the electrical power supply increase in 15 years?
And 6-eyed are you only ridiculing this plan because it is a difficult challenge, or are you also against the shift from fossil fuelled cars to electrical? Just wondering But if so, why?

Theoretically electrical cars will improve and the electrical supply may increases by 2035. The only problem is where is that electricity going to be coming from. It won’t be entirely from wind or solar that’s for sure. You could burn more fossil fuels which would defeat the purpose of carbon emissions. You could build more dams but that causes problems for fish migration and ecological consequences. Not to mention it takes dozens of barrels of oil to make one new electric car. So the ecologically viable method is to keep an old motorcycle running than to buy a new Tesla.

[running]

its easy to say the answer is with solar and wind. in some situations it is economic. even in the best situation it doesn't remove baseload power generally coming from coal, natural gas, and nuclear. with intermittent power you have to also have baseload power. sometime in tbe future an economic and capable battery will come out. then you can store the energy becoming more like baseload. but you are still at the mercy of mother nature. therefore there will always be a mix of power for the foreseeable future.

California will have to step it up big time to fill the gap in electricity needed to fulfill the plan of electric cars.

[Beach Ball Bitch]

I just hope that they do not want it at the expense to Canadians who will receive black outs instead in order to feed the greed of California. Where California pays Canadian generators to supply them.

[running]

beach ball bitch

its not just california that has upped the price of electricity to its residents and ran short of it due to ignorance. germany shut down their nuclear. stepped up solar and wind. to fall short. causing them to build two coal plants and also buy nuclear energy across the river from france. im afraid the stupid award is a tie with germany and the peoples republic of california.

sounds like canada is doing what france is. cut them off and make them grow up......

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Oh I know, we have had rolling brown ours here because our generators, which are owned by the people has been selling to the USA, then the liberals decided to sell our generators and stuff to quebec, who sells to the USA at a big markup.

[running]

at tbis time it would take half of the worlds supply of copper for just the U.K. to go all green. that's of course hypothetically speaking as the technology to do so does not exist.

a new battery for cars is needed before its reasonable for electric to take over much of the market over the traditional. the only high grade cobalt mines exist in the congo and i think russia. when the price of cobalt goes up children go to work mining it. its a disaster scenario at this time.

there are some companies working on recycling the batteries in an economic and environment friendly way. im not sure where they are at on that. at this time it takes about 5lbs of earth mined compared to .3 liquid lbs mined comparing electric to gas powered vehicles. so there is still a big gap before its more enviromental friendly over the combustion engine. battery makers are working on needing less and less cobalt. there is a lot of moving parts in analysing this stuff. people make assumptions and unfortunately the assumptions become poltical decisions and the people get the shaft.

We have electricity. Like literally posting on my electronic device at this very moment.

But the news i consume is fake. Fuck...

It's because you and I live in greedy liberal cities that want to use up all of the electricity and not let anyone else have any.
