California heat wave to stress power grid, cause potential blackouts, officials say

that excessive heat starting on Wednesday would stress the energy grid and potentially lead to blackouts. "Starting tomorrow through Tuesday, California and the West are expecting extreme heat that is likely to strain the grid with increased energy demands, especially over the holiday weekend," it said in an advisory, noting that temperatures would intensify over the weekend and into early next week.

A view of windmills and power lines in Tracy, California, Aug. 17, 2022, as the state's grid operator urged residents to ratchet down electricity use during an extreme heat wave.in the West so far this year, temperatures in Northern California are expected to be 10-20 degrees warmer than normal through Tuesday, Sept. 6. In Southern California, temperatures are expected to be 10-18 degrees warmer than normal," it said.

This message comes after California regulators moved last week to require all new vehicles in the state to run on electricity by 2035. Should grid conditions deteriorate, the ISO may issue a series of emergency notifications to prepare the public for possible energy shortages and the operator expects to call for voluntary conservation via Flex alerts over the weekend.

This is what we want for the country? Poor planning, actually no planning to the move to renewables.

Democrats setting you up for blackouts and electric rationing. If you go to Democrat you are the problem

😆 🤣 😂

Oh well don’t plug in the damn car

Don’t worry government agencies can fix it

Dems news flash: it gets hot in the summertime, people need to power AC. If renewable power sources cannot hack it, there are plenty of carbon based fuels available, which are reliable, efficient and effective in suppling an abundance of power 24/7.

Hey CAgovernor remember 20+ years ago having the same problems. Have we not improved our infrastructure? We added all this solar and wind. What the hell is going on? I feel like PGE4Me is full of it.

At least all the electric cars will be safe.
