#1 it was 107 yesterday at my place with 65% humidity....sucks. I don't mind the heat if it's dry, but the monsoonal flow has been thick this year

#2 If we all had plug in electric cars we wouldn't have electrical blackouts.

#4 Typical misdirection! There are brownouts because of the enviros not allowing power plants to be upgraded nor new ones built. All BS!

#5 California energy management is notorious for over-regulation. Most initiatives don't meet Al Gore' environmental protection criterion.

As for "global warming," it occurs after each Ice Age. All but the brain dead, believe that at some point slow cooling will begin again. Annual warming-cooling differentials are measured in small fractions of a degree, and don't warrant Gore-hysterics. As for the "greenhouse effect," that has more political than theoretical content.

Packin' my clothes,
Coolest ones I've got,
'Cause that San Fernando Valley is hot.

This verse was later struck out of the popular version of the hit song "San Fernando Valley" that went "gold" in the late 1930's. The local Chamber of Commerce didn't want the truth to come out until after you bought property there.

#7 thanks for correcting me, I was under the delusion that the state had stopped building power plants to keep up with demand.

#8 California Office of Emergency Services reports that virtually all of the power outages are from local transformer failures, and the lack of new generation power for over 20 years has left the state severely under-served for state-based power generation systems. The asshats in Sacramento want it that way, expecting to get their power from outside the state so they can play to the lefty enviro's politically. Problem is, the marginas are always razor thin each day, and maxxed out transmision lines coupled with an old generator in the state failing, means rolling blackouts.... so rather than build more power capacity (or even new dams to serve the other massive state problem, not enough water) (and coincidently creating electricity as well)) we just go along courting disaster. Liberals govern this state, and basic infrastructure, roads, power, water, public safety, good schools, all have been ignored because we need all the bull**it social programs to buy votes from illegals and minorities..... what a mess..
