The other day we saw the geniuses in Californicated ordering

no new gas or diesel cars licensed or registered by 2035.

Today we have this:
California — under the illustrious leadership of Gov. Gavin Newsom — has asked its residents to avoid their air conditioners in the midst of a heat wave to prevent rolling blackouts, again.
...
The manager of California’s power grid has implemented another “flex alert” and for those of you who haven’t lived in the overpriced hellhole of California, that’s when the government asks residents not to use energy between 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. to prevent rolling blackouts.

Not only should residents avoid the AC, you should also avoid appliances such as the dishwasher or washing machine — really any heavy appliance is off limits though Gavin will almost certainly still be using his hair dryer before a night out at the French Laundry.

I checked: no, you're not supposed to charge your electric car either.

So, they can't keep up with demand now in stressful conditions(like it's hot), they have zero plans I know of to build new powerplants, but they want to push everyone onto electric EVERYTHING...

The goal is to get rid of ICE vehicles. NOT to replace them with EVs. They want ALL of us totally dependent on public transit....which THEY control. That way you don't go ANYWHERE without their approval. All part of the concerted effort to enslave those of us that survive the purge they Are engineering.

California will not build any new electric generating plants nor any water storage until the deadline has already passed.

Seems like he’s trying to turn California into a third world country.
