California
- is imposing black-outs for a 2nd time in a year
- saw electric prices rise 6x more than rest of US, 2011 - 2019
- is shutting down last nuclear plant which creates cheap, clean, reliable power to 3M people
- is the model Democrats want to impose on the rest of US

California is experiencing rolling black-outs
They could result in heat stroke and even death for sick and elderly from lack of air conditioning
The causes are incompetence, corruption, and unreliable renewables

The black-outs are a result of political corruption and incompetence by @GavinNewsom and his cronies who have been ruining California for 50+ years

California is often cited as a climate leader but
- in-state emissions from electricity rose from 33 to 44 MMT of CO2 from 2011 and 2017
- emissions rose 3.7% even as they declined 5.4% in the rest of US

To recap:
- In the name of preventing deadly heat waves from climate change, California is making heat waves more deadly
- In the name of protecting the poor, California raised electricity prices 6x more than rest of US

- In the name of protecting the environment, we Californians are shutting down our nuclear plants & replacing them with fossil fuels & industrial solar projects that require 400x more land & kill endangered species including our condors & desert tortoises

California says its climate policies are needed to prevent heat-related illness & death
But shutting down nat gas & nuclear plants, and trying to rely on renewables, have created blackouts which risk heat-related illness & death

Same nightmare is unfolding in Europe
“I am currently finding it difficult maintaining my pro-renewables position.”

Pacific Gas & Electric has just begun rolling blackouts
But instead of providing info on them @PGE4Me has tweeted a link to a web page with "warm weather tips"
The first one?
"Avoid using your oven on hot days"

At 4:21 pm California’s electric grid operator said “no emergencies planned”
At 7:51 pm it said “Stage 3 Emergency” & rolling blackouts!
Why?
Too little nat gas (lost 470-MW plant) & too much unreliable wind (loss of 1,000-MW)
The climate crusade is putting lives at risk

Correction: the grid operator reported stage 3 emergency at 6:28 pm not 7:50 pm
California regulators “last year warned the state could face an energy shortage as early as 2021. That day arrived a year early.... Democrats want to take this policy nationwide via Joe Biden, so prepare for hot summer nights.”

More blackouts coming tonight
What’s the plan, @GavinNewsom ?
You insisted “renewables are the future” & we didn’t need nuclear
After last year’s blackouts you promised to fix this. Why haven’t you?
