California Warns: Here Come the Blackouts, Don’t Charge Your Car
PJ Media | 08/31/2022 | Stephen GreenCalifornia’s energy overseer warned of blackouts starting Wednesday and urged residents to “avoid using large appliances and charging electric vehicles, and turn off unnecessary lights.”
The state also wants those thermostats set no lower than 78 degrees.
Called a Flex Alert, the California Independent System Operator says households should “reduce energy use from 4-9 p.m. when the system is most stressed because demand for electricity remains high and there is less solar energy available.”
“The power grid operator,” the notice says, “expects to call on Californians for voluntary energy conservation via Flex alerts over the long weekend.”
Straight Line of the Day: Ways that Californians can conserve energy: …
Replace energy intensive middle class people with more eco-friendly peasants from south of the border.
…build a wall!!!(screaming in Sam Kinison type voice) BUILD IT!!!
… don’t read the news – the aggravation level will ease off tremendously…
… shorten your commute by getting laid off – the unemployment check in the mail is only a few steps away…
For illegal aliens, just remove the word “off.”
…heed all evacuation orders.
…especially the bowel ones.
…especially if you happen to be on a public sidewalk.
ew
… set up your tent downtown near your favorite panhandling locations – save yourself the extra steps…
… eat only locally-pilfered food…
…live in a large wooden badger.
Lots of small rodents on little treadmills. If they don’t end up using them as a food source first.
Only if Fauci can torture them first.
For, um, science.
And make sure there’s lots of them.
Get rid of all those energy wasting farms. Just buy your groceries from the store like everyone else. Doi!
Find a way to convert SMUG into electricity. Gavin could power the whole damn State and then some. (Somebody with better interwebbing skills could link to Southpark clip)
Drain all their pools. That would also help save the water for Arizona, and probably have a big effect on the climate too.
Instead of having lightbulbs light up over their heads every time some californian comes up with a “Bright Idea”, put that energy back into the grid.
There’s nothing but brown-outs in the state legislature…
You misspelled “noses.”
Or left out “Jerry.”
Oh, if only we could have left out Jerry – we’re still paying for his yet-unbuilt train set…
Ways That Californians Can Conserve Energy… MOVE TO TEXAS!!! BWA HA HA HA
What did Texans ever do to you to deserve that?
They could push more gender equality. Use less air conditioning. Women, go topless when it’s hot, just like men!
Topless women:
Is there any crisis they can’t ameliorate?
Ginger? MaryAnn?
Pelosi? shudder
{Charlton Heston on the beach}: You went there!
To quote Ron White: “Yep….uggghh”
I’d like to offer word of caution – and that word is “Pelosi”.
That comment got sent to got moderation?
Ugh.
Some Pelosi-lover down-twinkled this whole thread?
Ugh!
…invest in a ’93 Canopysaurus.
Unplug Mark Zuckerberg.
Tommyknockers anyone?
Straight Line of the Day: Ways That Californians Can Conserve Energy: …
Hire Mexicans to work for them?
Hire?
Californians should go copulate with themselves..solves monkey pox at the same time…
