“The 2000-01 blackouts “occurred when California had a shortage of electricity supply caused by electricity market manipulations. A demand-supply gap was created, mainly by Enron, to create an artificial shortage so speculators could benefit from an 800 percent increase in wholesale electricity prices. As a result, California suffered from multiple large-scale blackouts. Now an electricity shortage coupled with rolling blackouts is happening again, but for a different reason.”
California over-sold all the EXTRA Alternative Power (Windmills & Solar) by contracting with Enron….Of Course Enron abused the morons when NOTHING produced as promised… IT was the Failure of the AGW reality….
GW BUSH saved California by arresting the ENRON executives (for accounting& Market Price manipulation) & Enron went into Bankruptcy. The Court made the California debt disappear.. Corrupt… The CEO & CFO appealed criminal convictions and won.. but ENRON was gone.. AGW story never told by MSM
The lead FBI was Comey & Mueller… who guessed? The ENRON accountants that filed the Complaint were trained in Canada by the same group that trained Susan Rice….busy busy
And socialists will insist that all capitalism is crony capitalism, so this sort of shortage is all the fault of the free market.
You’re free to make any power generation you want in California. Except coal. Except nuclear. Except oil. Except tidal. Except hydroelectric. Limited natural gas only. Wind and solar are great. Always invest in unicorn farts, they’re the clean energy of the future!
And they’ll insist the free market is to blame after the lights go out.
The CA suburban mom, safe in her $3.8M 2,500 sq.ft. Sunnyvale bungalow … cares … about the poor unfortunate illegal Guatemalan immigrant and her fellow 11 million amigos who have been straining ALL of California’s resources. She employs several of them to clean her toilets, and to pull weeds in her tulip bed. She also … cares … about the “urban” single mother who had just dropped her third kid at age 21, but she would never hire her.
She mostly … cares … about a safe clean environment for her two children. That’s why she drives a Tesla, charged from the 24 solar panels that make her roof the envy of all her neighbors. That’s why she she has a high efficiency 96% condensing furnace with an AC condenser with a SEER of 22! She also has a super high quality triboelectric air filter that cleans unhealthy PM (particulate matter) from her home. She can’t even smell the fires burning over the hills from her and engulfing Sunnyvale in a smoky haze. She also recently installed a Tesla Power Wall which provides stored electricity for the multiple PG&E safety shutdowns and rolling blackouts. She doesn’t need to turn up her thermostat … because she’s $rich$ enough to generate her own electricity. She’s on the grid, and off the grid – simultaneously … right in the middle of Sunnyvale suburbia. She loves Gavin Newman.
This CA suburban mom … like every other one in the greater Bay Area … votes exclusively for Democrats. Why? Because they … care. Didn’t you SEE Michelle Obama’s weepy-face? Michelle “weeps” for Trump’s America. Weeps. What a caring … but strong … black woman? Right? Michelle contemplates the misery of POC from one of her numerous estates from coast to coast … and soon … from Obama’s home island in Hawaii. Why, Yes … each one of Obama’s homes are equipped like the CA suburban mom’s house. Off the grid-on the grid.
CA suburban moms love Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom. Mainly because they’re white and rich. They carrrrrre about the brown man too. They have a BLM logo in their Living Room window!! They carrrrrre about the environment. They carrrrre about Global Warming. They carrrrre about the planet. They know fossil fuels are baaad mmmkay? And they are rich enough to not care about anything but saving the planet from Co2
They will all vote for Joe Biden
Think this is bad? It will be far worse in California when its only remaining nuclear power plant Diablo Canyon closes in 2025.
and the idiots double down on it…..

“California’s Dim Bulbs
By P.J. O’Rourke
California is in the midst of an enormous stupidity crisis. Californians have been sitting in the dark because … they didn’t turn the lights on.”
Don’t worry, the rich and well connected will not suffer. They will be the ones that have whole house generators and automatic transfer switches. It might cost a little more, but they will have the knowledge that they won’t suffer from blackouts like the little people. They can piously pontificate all day, and never, ever personally face the consequences.
Want to bet the Governor’s Mansion has a generator?
How about Nancy Pelos’s mansions?
They will never care about mirrors, windmills, or any other BS
The green Clergy / Politicians are just sick and tired of those arrogant citizens who think that they can just turn on their lights and ACs and expect that the green theocracy will allow it. Piss on them and just make sure my security people keep them away from my mansion. They can just freeze or burn but they will live with our bat chomping, bird slicing eco-crucifixes and learn to like it! Next, comes the re-education camps! Heil Gaia!
The crime Committed by ENRON was operational Racketeering because they made sure ALL of California’s Contract was used every day… But they were never charged because that would not have resulted in the California DEBT been erased.
The real criminals walked and the Corrupt Courts covered up the Failure of AWG & the media focused on accounting nonsense. If ENRON had foreclosed on California they would have got ALL of California’s worthless Power System….They off-Shored the debt & Accounts to protect their Stock market shareholders.. Enron was greedy & wanted to keep the money flowing even though California was in default (was not paying)
It’s coming to Saskatchewan soon enough. Moronic eaters of human faeces, who call themselves the “Saskatchewan” Party, have a “climate plan” that will end in exactly the same place as California, German, the UK, Denmark, Spain, ….
What’s that you say? If you don’t give all your money and votes to the SaskP, the CPoC, then you say you would get the NDP, Liberal, and Green policies 3% faster, and that would be a disaster? So you are telling me, the exact same policy, just implemented a tiny bit slower, is conservative, and guaranteed to be a success?
