“Blackouts Imminent” – 75,000 Powerless As Record California Power Usage Sparks ‘Demand Response Event’<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

Update (2030ET):\u00a0<\/strong>As was expected earlier,\u00a0California power usage surged to a record high this afternoon raising the emergency status of the state\u2019s electrical system to the highest possible level amid a blistering heat wave, which means rolling blackouts are imminent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This triggered a “demand response event”…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

And CA ISO is warning of more “blackouts imminent”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be so dicey,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Michael Wara, director of Stanford University\u2019s climate and energy policy program, said earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a gap for two hours in the evening right now between available supply and projected demand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This farce for one of the most-taxed states comes just four days after President Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praised the state\u2019s green energy policies.<\/p>\n

Granholm said that California was leading the nation in green energy development and praised its ability to shape national energy policy,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to an interview conducted by Fox 11 Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the fact that California is unabashedly bold about (green) energy policy,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Granholm stated, calling the state as a green \u201cleader\u201d for the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia\u2019s boldness has \u2026\u00a0shaped our willingness in the federal government to move further and faster,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>she said of California\u2019s green energy policies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

California’s energy policy has currently left 75,000 Californians without power already…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

And the state\u2019s largest power company, PG&E Corp., said in a statement that it\u00a0had notified about 525,000 homes and businesses that they could lose power for up to two hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So this is what the rest of America can look forward to?<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

Update (1700ET):<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0As we warned about earlier, Califiornians are apparently not heeding officials’ warnings that they should sacrifice their comfort for the sake of whatever business or social-engineering plan is the new thing.<\/p>\n
