Gavin Newsom’s Dirty Energy Secret

[BabyBoomer50s]

“Irony of ironies, the state has installed temporary gas-fired generators to run during grid emergencies. In other words, the state that is working so hard to banish fossil fuels has become more dependent on them. Los Angeles’s municipal utility is generating nearly 30% of its electricity from coal, some of which is being shared with the rest of the state. Call it Gavin Newsom’s dirty little climate secret.”

“Electricity prices in California’s wholesale market surged Tuesday evening to about $1,700 per MWh compared to the normal $100 and $67 a year ago. All of this explains why residential electric rates in California have risen by 50% in the past two years—three times more than they have nationwide.

“Californians paid on average about 29 cents per kilowatt hour in June, by far the most in the continental U.S. and twice as much as in neighboring states. Rates are only going higher.

“But what starts in California rarely stays in California. Americans everywhere will soon be soaked with higher prices for power that is becoming less reliable.”

Them CA idiots had a chance to get rid of that fool and they didn't. They deserve what they get.

NERC's Reliability regulations require all base load to be backed up by an energy source that can produce the required electricity. The only sources that meet the NERCs regulations are Nuclear or Fossil fuel. It's only a secret to the uninformed.

Thank you Governor for doing the right thing for the good people of California is the correct headline.

 

[JohnEBbad]

The USA should build a bunch of nuclear plants in some of those big empty states to supply the country and get it over with.

Not practical to send electricity over great distances on lines.

Bluetooth.

That's not electricity. That's data transmission

 

[iso36]

You should read up on wireless electricity transmission sometime.

On second thought… don’t. Keep posting! ( more laughs).

Bluetooth isn't.
If you read up on it, you'd know that as well.

Thats not Bluetooth. They are not at all similar.

Tell us more!

A woman was publicly beheaded in California, one of many things happening in an unprecedented crime spree. He's changing laws to make it easier for predators to go after minors, the state is such a pit that they've lost house seats due to a drop in population, and Hollywood has all but bailed, filming a lot more in Florida, Georgia and other locations.

The energy 'secret' is the least of his issues. I don't understand anyone who blindly votes party. You see the disgrace that state has become in a fairly short time and keep voting for him? If nothing else you couldn't back another democrat?

I feel bad for the decent folks out there, but at the same time they get what they deserve, too bad like the rest of him he'll never get what he deserves.

That’s what solar power is. There is no better wireless power transmission, and solar doesn’t require making transmitters.

 

[phrodeau]

The big green peak shows how solar power helps California meet its energy needs, and even produces enough for them to export during part of the day.

You fuckers ruined everything with all your facts and basic knowledge of how things work.

We, decent folks, are doing fine out here, snowflake. I mean, we have to dodge mass decapitations on a daily basis but we do ok.

Too bad Tesla's ideas for wireless transmission weren't taken seriously and more research conducted.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

Here's some real talk from a California who signed the petition to recall Newsom:

In the middle of the longest heatwave on record during a massive drought and half of the State burning, Newsom has kept the lights on. If you don't think that's worth a fuckton of votes and good juju, you're a fucking uninformed idiot who knows fuck all about my beautiful State and our governor.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Cheer up Californians. Alaska, Hawaii, Connecticut and Rhode Island have even higher electricity rates than you. And don’t let those natural gas bans on new construction get you down.

I blame Elon.

And Alessandro Volta.

But how many trips to Cancun did he make?

You weren't mentally or financially stable enough to make it here, loser. Hush.

But how many trips to Cancun did he make?

The recommended allowance for the governor of a State in crisis. Zero.
