It’s just embarrassing how both sides play us for suckers. They don’t even try to hide that fact anymore.

When you have safe injection sites you 1.) save lives; 2.) prevents disease AND 3.) help clean up your streets. I prefer them going to an injection site than shooting up on a corner or at our playground and then leaving their needles laying around.

Come to Seattle. I'll show you the neighborhoods with safe injection sites. They're filthy, attract crime and drive away businesses. The biggest problem with the legislation he vetoed that it allowed an unlimited number of such sites to be created, with essentially no regulation of where they could be located.

You know what works better at cleaning up the streets? Actually cleaning up the streets. We used to do that and I never saw anyone shooting up on a corner. Only in lefty cities does this stuff happen.

Exactly. You're supposed to crank the AC early so the house gets cooler before demand is highest and you're asked to turn thermostats up in the early evening. When the sun goes down (and solar falls off the grid) is when the California ISO needs energy conservation.

This is an irregular weather pattern. California hasn't had demand this high since July 2006. Just like we don't build six lane roads in anticipation of rare concert events, utilities don't procure power needs for extreme weather events. Texas went through this last year and in neither case is it on the governor.
The state has actually handled it really well so far.

As a lifelong Californian I completely disagree CC. There have been a ton of bad power decisions (shuttering of nuclear plants, shifting of solar costs/credits bending to the will of the power companies, no forward action to address the increasing demand, etc etc) and don’t get me started on desalination and our abject failures there. Our power demands have not been a surprise and regardless of this heat spike every single year we have rolling brown outs. That’s unacceptable.
Now have they handled this extreme weather event better then Texas did? Sure. But that’s a pretty low bar.
Captain Cranks
Footballguy
I can understand your frustration as a consumer. The ISO isn't without fault, for sure, but global warming is really putting the state behind the 8 ball. Not only is the heat increasing demand, but wildfires and hydro shortages are zapping expected supply options.
The brownouts in summer 2020 was on the ISO due to their flawed import estimators, but they've since corrected the issue. I'm pretty impressed by their performance of the current heatwave.
ETA - I agree with you on the decommissioning of nukes.

Meh. CA is the text-book example of "don't do this" in politics.Looks like CA may be turning the corner. Covid state of emergency to be lifted LINK Feb 28
So CA "turning the corner" means, to me, they got rid of all the loony-toons Democrats running that State into the dirt. That would basically be ALL of them, starting with the Trudeau-wanna-be Newsome. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
