#1 Generator sales up.

#2 Generators which run on "green" resources, of course. I'm so happy for Kaliphornia.

#3 The CA gov probably encourage generator use since they tax gasoline up the wazoo.

#4 ...Reality check, indeed. California is exactly one bad day away from a statewide blackout that won't just be over and done with in a few hours.

#6 I hope Stretch Pelosi has generators to keep her ice cream safe from melting.

#7 cooling trend in Calif beginning about 30 Aug will likely help the grid a lot

unfortunately, Calif in Sept frequently has days with strong Santa Ana conditions - that should also stress the system

when Diablo Canyon Nuke plant goes off line things get way more serious as that plant produces a bit less than 10% of total electricity in the state

#8 Califzuela

Heh. Except Venezuela doesn't take illegals.

#9 Hopefully there will be enough electricity to make all the popcorn we're going to need when the liberals try to talk their way out of this one.

#10 That is one line, "it's Trump's fault".

#11 Popcorn. Heck, I want that nighttime picture of America with lots of California looking like North Korea, blacked out.

#12 Ever notice how places that go all in on green power end up with shortages and unreliable, expensive electricity? South Australia (which is in Australia) is a most excellent example.

#14 The disappointment of all the illegals crossing the border for nothing.

#15 Politically, culturally, socially we have created a world that we can't live without, but are unable to maintain.
