BLACKOUTS COMING? California’s electricity grid manager admitted today they can’t provide reliable power this summer so they are making a “call to the world” to help us keep the lights on. This is an embarrassing result of one-party rule gone crazy. https://t.co/wFk4V0Z6NT

The ruling party finally admits we can’t operate a 21st century grid with solar & wind power alone. They’ve been dismantling gas and nuclear power plants for years. They’re quietly adding 5 new natural-gas power plants so we can keep the lights on. https://t.co/gF4SYQPn5g
Biden has just killed hundreds of thousands of US jobs, ended US energy independence, gifted oil and gas producing nations who hate us a dangerous monopoly, and sentenced US drivers to increasing fuel prices. “Stupid is as stupid does.” ~Forrest Gump https://t.co/Zy3evqkaWZ
Tonight, 3.3 million people are expected to be in the dark. Governor Newsom has called for an investigation. He clearly doesnt understand - we dont need an investigation. We need enough #electricity to keep the lights on. https://t.co/hs0MKBLe80 #CaLeg #blackouts
Hey, Mr. Governor, some inconvenient science from the attached article: Thanks mostly to state and local policies driving down in-state production in recent years, California only produces 28% of the oil it needs every day. https://t.co/tDSN9rgQMd
PREPARED FOR BLACKOUTS? There could be up to 2.25 million homes without power over this weekend. Governor Newsom failed to mention this today in his press conference. They expect to be 3,000 MW short at night Sunday-Tuesday. Be prepared folks. Read more: https://t.co/fUXrWWJ0h2
The blackouts clearly tell us that California has a power supply problem. Its unacceptable that a state with a world-class economy grounded in cutting edge technology has the unreliable electrical service of a third world country. ~Dan Walters https://t.co/tbpmWyINOD
Im not one for charts & graphs. I have to squint to read them. Figure out whats on the vertical & horizontal axis. This one is simple. The CA grid is becoming unreliable, and the cost of electricity is becoming unaffordable. Elections - and electrons - have consequences. https://t.co/KSGwtQ3Cig
CA warned again of blackouts, and to stop using electricity when we need it the most. It has taken a proclamation by Newsom to give us what you get in other states: reliable power. Here it takes 115 degrees and an emergency proclamation. Here's why. https://t.co/5gvZKdag9D
Here we go again. CA doesn't have enough electricity to keep the lights or the AC on for us today because it's hot. Newsom and the Democrats in control like to say our state is a leader. This isn't leading. This is failing, miserably. https://t.co/jrALzXsa2t #FlexAlert
