Brandon said, When solar farms make too much electricity at night. Wind farms can't make less wind. There's surplus power. The power company can't afford to sell because the price is too low sho subsidy tax breaks of 300 kamillia presntents.

Or words to that effect.

@MasterLee Benny wanted to talk to her and even said he'd tip her 10 grand and she turned him down. Most important job a bartender has. Anyone can uncap brewskis and pour shots. Takes a brain and knowing a few things to tend bar.

I don't believe she ever was a bartender.

Yeah. It's controlling the energy output so there's not an overload on the system. Happens in California a fair amount where they're called rolling blackouts.
Fancy talk for.
Oh shit, we really should NOT take energy policy advice from a autistic chick from Sweden..?

I’m familiar with load shedding in electrical applications.

Usually reducing power demand when generation is not high enough

When you don’t tie down the cargo properly.
It’s common outside of SA too. 😐

Wtf.... Load shedding is to do with electrical power supply, what has it to do with South Africans?
Jul2Nov · 22-25, M
@Convivial lol because we have 10.5 hours of it a day.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Jul2Nov i gather you're in South Africa?

Something tells me you have a new and 'improved' definition of Loadshedding
Jul2Nov · 22-25, M
@Budwick 😂We are st stage 6 loadshedding in South Africa. So thats 10.5 hours of power outage divided in 2.5 to 3.5 hour sessions.

@Jul2Nov That's got to be annoying as hell!

Happens in the U.S. not infrequently.

@Ontheroad interesting 🤔

Lights out.
Yes, it sounds like something they’ve been trying in my state to "keep the electric grid stable".

Load shedding is used to relieve stress on a primary energy source when demand for electricity is greater than the primary power source can supply
