Green Energy…California Power Grid May Fail in Heat Wave

Green Energy from Solar and Wind cannot supply even the green energy needed to power your fancy new Electric Vehicles when conditions are extreme. The State officials warned that Californians would have to cut back on usage, and even avoid charging their electric vehicles due to a major heatwave targeting the state this week. It might cause blackouts on the California power grid. So much for the reliability of green energy.

They're saying this as they are also saying that all fossil fueled vehicles will be 100% illegal to own or operate within the Communist State of Kalifornia by 2035.

The Leftist Buffoons don't realize is that it'll take 50 years before our electrical grid infrastructure is compatible. By the way, that's 99.99% of the entire North American Power Grid.

My source is through my son-in-law who is a Licensed Utility Lineman. When you see workers working on the Powerlines throughout the USA Today, they're trying to fix the Power needs of Today, and definitely NOT for the Future.

My son-in-law is also a Licensed Utility Lineman and he says you're wrong.

@BohemianBabe Unless you were born on February 29 or unless your wife is my age, then you cannot have a son-in-law that's a lineman.

@dakotaviper To my knowledge, it's only on sales of new cars from dealer lots. Still legal to operate and own after 2035. I researched this one to death. Some of the headlines were clickbait and misleading. But it's only new car sales.

Key word is "new car sales". But even this headline used "gas car ban".

Don't worry, I'll keep firing up my V8s to offset the fruits and nuts 🤣

@dakotaviper plus the only way green energy is making any money is through government subsidies.

FLAT OUT FALSE!!!

They are saying dealers cannot sell NEW gasoline cars in California after 2035. Any pre-existing gas cars are grandfathered in.

@ElwoodBlues Yup, we know, newsome waves his magic pen and poof! millions of charging stations open up overnight! Amazing! Just leaves a few questions, like where's all the raw materials coming from to supply all the manufactures making all those charging stations, and who is gonna pay for the infrastructure needed to support those millions of charging stations, and where is all that electricity coming from?
