Cal-ISO anticipates declaring an Energy Emergency Alert 3 by about 5:30 p.m., which will mean that rolling blackouts are imminent.
"This is an extraordinary heat event we are experiencing, and the efforts by consumers to lean in and reduce their energy use after 4 p.m. are absolutely essential," said Elliot Mainzer, the California ISO's president and CEO. Overnight lows are not offering much relief either, staying in the 70s and even in the low 80s in some of the hotter areas.
You all should turn every light on
105 degrees and you have to close your pools CALIFORNIA, and don't use Air Condition. 🙄
Oh my!, scary.
Can’t power what we have now and Newson letting in Hundreds of thousands of illegal invaders and wants to build thousands of homes and apartments. What the he’ll are the Democrats smoking?
And crazy California wants to force everyone to buy electric cars when they can't even control the grid going on now with electricity, the problems that it's having. California is crazy, because the democrats running the state into the ground are crazy!!!
Clean all California's solar panels turn on all Wind farms, lets get all the renewable energy to work California.
Biden said we were converting to green energy and I quote “over time”. As someone who has been through SCE blackouts often in California this seems absolutely ridiculous. Can you imagine cars lined up at a charging station in the middle of the night? We’re not prepared.
And what did we learn?🤔😜
Companies like SCE refuse to allow banked solar power to be used during peak times. How about an affordable way to *store* solar power at each individual home that generates it so that power can be used during these peak times? Is it not possible?
And CA passed a law that by 2035, all new car sales must be full electric. That’s 13 years away. If you can’t fix this issue, what makes you think we can go full electric by 2035?
Buy more electric vehicles, cause our grids can handle it . All electric by 2035🥴🥴🥴🥴
Fuck you the Temps have been the same for FYCKING 15 YEARS. NOTHINGS CHANGED. SO FUCK YOU
So which is it? Fear based news that we are burning the planet with out gas consumption? So we need electric cars? No wait! Now it’s fear based news that we don’t have a grid that can support even the people living here! CBS news should change their news focus: Corp wage theft
How can you mandate electric cars when you do not enough electricity for normal use
Let’s go all electric!!!! LOL
California is no better than a third world nation.
Electric cars are more harmful to the environment anyway. Looks what it takes to build a battery, then your going to have a landfill of dead batteries. Most of those materials are not ♻️.
Build one big nuclear power plant, problem solved. What happened to the bullet trains? Where are the water reservoirs we paid for and the rainwater that still goes in the ocean?
But be sure to continue forcing electric vehicles!!!🤦♀️. Can’t fix it!!!
Who wrote this? Poorly written. what is expected to be a historic demand for electricity. Should be written: what is expected to be AN historic demand for electricity. This is ELEMENTARY school grammar!!
🖕🏻
Thanks DWP, It is time we stop depending on energy from the city. Energy that they control and we have no control over. Luckily, we live in a new period of time in which we can harness Energy from the sun ☀️ if you will like to control Puwer at home, please DM me.
EV’s screwing it up for the rest of us 🤦🏻♂️
After all the people fleeing his policies finish moving out of CA, there s/b plenty of electricity...
When Prez is in bed with the Chneeze
These guys are all fucking crooks. Did no one learn as a kid playing monopoly? They just want the fucking money we don’t have.
Hold on let me go plug in all my electric cars…
God bless
solar panels time?
Oh Lort that means we are gonna be toast for a few more weeks CaliforniaHeatWave
Lmao CA specially LA area wake up fast for your family and your future generation.
Glad I have emergency solar panels...
Tf out of here I’m running my A/C all fkn day 💰💰
Who are we selling power to other states and almost black out California's? Tell me that one gavie!
Can someone educate me on how this is fair especially to someone like that has breastmilk in the fridge/freezer? I get the freezer might be ok but like I shouldn’t have to freeze then thaw when I can just have a bottle prepped.
BL… if more businesses, apartments and individual home owners got solar it would offset demand significantly.
Hey I’ve got a great idea! Let’s all switch to electric cars 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My power just came on after 9 hours in 104 Temps awesome!!
I turned off and or unplugged a lot of stuff. Just not my little fan, I'm so hot!😭😭😭😭
I wonder if all this will give Gavin pause about his ban of gas powered cars. If we don’t have enough energy for basic air, how are we going to charge 20 million electric cars?
Well we keep pushing everything to run off electric so enjoy the fun , one resource for everything is not the answer .
Trust me I know 🥴
Walt Disney should go to code THREE OR TWO for passenger of Shultz Nights THREE
2035 is just round the corner we’re shutting down more power plants than we built, hydroelectric from Nevada will be next to go, there’s nothing in the pipeline to address the added stress on our grid… we’re so screwed
If that’s an issue can we have low cost or free solar panels ?
build some nuclear power plants already
Mean while AZ & Nevada are laughing to your sell out state
It's scam to charge you more for electricity. When electric cars are the norm they will still be run by fossil fuels. Fossil fuel still make most of America's electricity. That's why oil company stock continues to be a investment
This is 30 years of no maintenance or upgrades . Closing plants with no replacement
Not gonna listen to their idiocy.. this is a self inflicted wound.. how come Arizona , Florida, Texas, Nevada, and other very hot states don’t have these issues? Nevada is a desert which of course includes Vegas which consumes massive amounts of energy to power their casinos.
Hahaha and we are all supposed to get electric cars - pure comedy 🤣🤣
Lol, So, what’s going to happen when 2035 comes and everyone is plugging their electric cars to this so called grid.
If you have a problem with electricity it has to do with the electricity cars who are sucking up all of the power because with out them we were doing perfectly fine and no going through this but like someone told me this is not true and it doesn’t exist this is all fake
So let me know how your electric cars work now!
I dont understand why the problem with power. This has been a problem for decades. I would think we could have come up with a solution by now.
It's not even hot out
Wonder how they're going to run all those electric cars if they can keep the grid going
So he sure to buy only electric vehicles. Because there’s obviously so much electricity to go around, and none of the power grids are going to go downs
But let's go all electric on cars and buses. I cannot even use my toaster the fvck 🤣
The state says this every year for the past 30 years. They have added more electric things since then. What have they done to maximize what we need to run power? Nothing! The state of California just keeps running into the ground. The state of California should be embarrassed.
We did our part Nov '21. We took our 200K+ combined salaries, and moved out of CA. The tax saving elsewhere is amazing!
Bet Tesla is laughing in his grave right now
Oh well
Let’s charge everything then
1st world economy with 3rd world energy supply. So Bogus. Forget electric vehicles.
Why is there a 'historic demand for electricity' every single year? It seems it's not the demand that's increasing, but the supply that's limited.
But I have to charge my car I was forced to buy by Newson at the end of 2018
The grid can’t handle us all having electric cars.
California is reaping what the green progressive movement sows. When green energy is actually more efficient (which should be what we all focus on..efficient = fewer resources) then we will have progressed. Good luck Cali, next time vote for financial responsibility
How about closing down big businesses that use a lot of power from 4 to 9!?
But I gotta charge my EV car!!
It's crazy my bill is $800 and then they want me to shut my ac off during the hottest time of the day
Plug in your cars. Electric car charging is comparable to running your home ac for 8 hours. What is going to happen to the grid when everyone has an electric vehicle ?
Rolling blackouts for the last 20+ years in SOCAL
Redesign? Don't worry, someone will do that in the year 3000.
But bUy An ElEcTrIc CaR 🥴
This is our chance to demostrate to all California politicians that green energy still isnot reliable. Newsom is aski g people not to charhe their electric cars during this heat wave. Imagine when there will be more elwctric cars than gas cars. Lets all blast our CAs and fully
How long have we had this problem It’s Pathetic how much money we send to the government just so they can not fix basic things in our state.
Newsome will never be President 👎🏼
But yet they want to push electric cars what a dumb idea
I charged my ev in WeHoCity . The whole lot went out of order in the middle of a charge at around 12pm . Had about 8 cars charging. Sheesh
Seems like need to upgrade instead of giving out those big bonuses
If only we could use the sun's energy for our own electricity......
Can’t wait to get my new EV!
Hope all you Leftists enjoy living in the dark in the sweltering heat. Remember who you voted for, dummies!
Its 100 in Pasadena and California doesnt have enough electricity 🤣
