HA! I managed to survive the recent Cali fires!
They now "preemptively" turn off the power for a lot of people if it gets any more windy than 15mph in certain areas, basically causing a lot of people to suddenly fear " slightly breezy" days because the power company refuses to eat the cost of burying power lines in high-risk areas.
I hate this freaking state!
The majority "Democrat Establishment Party" government says they "Care about the environment" but then seem to ACTIVELY DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT WHENEVER THEY CAN!
It is like they are doing it on purpose just so they can have something to "fight" and get stupid people to keep voting for them.
They NEVER WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEMS because then they can keep campaigning on "trying to fix" the problems. Homelessness, price gouging and inflation, housing costs, rent costs, fires, drought and so on.
Gross governmental mismanagement of forests and refusal to build new reservoirs or even fill the ones already there, all while allowing power companies to have legal "local monopolies" as the "CEO" of SCE at EDISON INTERNATIONAL is paid over $3.1MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!
They also constantly want to raise power costs to consumers by over 10% every year, and the so-called "liberal' and "progressive" California government almost always allows it (especially when they get direct kickbacks and stock options).
This same state wants to outlaw gas and diesel vehicles, and even the gas or diesel GENERATORS that are needed in blackouts by 2030, while doing nothing to make power more stable or reliable or affordable, all so Gavin Newsom can run as the "establishment" Democrat for puppet/president in 2028 by pretending he "Cares about muh environment", while in reality doing more to hurt the environment than help it.
They are trying to mandate "ZERO EMISSION GENERATORS" which... Don't fucking exist!
A fueled generator is used when electricity is hard to get, meaning even battery walls/banks need to be supplemented by gas or diesel generators to keep charged in extended blackouts because solar or wind power is either too expensive or not allowed in certain cities/ordinances in this so-called "liberal" and "progressive" state.
This is so hypocritical in a state that likes to brag about how "progressive" and "liberal" it is, while doing janky "corporate bullshit" that Republican conservatives did back in the 1990s/2000s.
Though it was pretty hilarious to see a bunch of overly rich Tesla and Lucid and Rivian electric vehicle owners all stranded at a local mall when the massive black-soot-spewing semi-truck-sized diesel generators needed to charge their "environmentally friendly" cars in a planned blackout broke down leaving them with no place to charge within 15 miles, and then causing day-long waits to charge at the few tesla stations 15 miles away.
The future's so dark, I gotta wear Night Vision Goggles! *facepalm*
