  1. The californians are doing their level best to screw themselves, Ms. McMillan. Your prayer to St. Andrew is being answered!

  2. Maybe all the environmentalist should walk out of the State and take the pressure off of the precious resources.
    They won’t be truly satisfied until California is one giant park, sustained by tax dollars from the rest of the Union. Only those wearing raw hemp clothing, accessorized with at least 3 beaded, self -made necklaces, and Jesus sandals will be permitted to walk he sacred grounds.

  3. The circle leads back to coal fired electricity. Red Rachel wants to take brand-new coal plants off-line quickly. Germany is using coal to replace all the failed green energy. Why do all the rest of us have to make the same stupid mistakes?

  4. How can one NOT conclude AGW is a fraud?
    The fight AGAINST nuclear power by those who strongly believe in AGW is for me the biggest single factor in calling AGW a fraud. Nuclear power produces literally no “polluting” CO2, is dependable, and is far more economical than wind or solar when ALL factors are accounted for. Yet here we are building these ugly, costly, undependable, grid destructive windmills and solar farms over acres and acres of land. Either we have a “crisis” caused by CO2 and deal with it in a logical manner or it’s all made up.
    On the plus side for the believers, even the godfather of global warming, Dr. James Hanson (NASA retired) has said that we need nuclear power to fight CO2 caused AGW. It hasn’t diminished his AGW credentials but it hasn’t converted many believers either.
    It’s a mad, mad world.

  5. “Why do all the rest of us have to make the same stupid mistakes?”
    Who do you mean by all of us,scar? Only the commies running the show, and the LIV morons who voted them in are making the mistakes. Unfortunately, the rest of us will go down with them,unless you stock up on the necessities for at least 2 years. As far as Red Rachel Nutley,she is so bass ackwards,she says she is going to sue over PPA’s and the threat of ending the contracts. Problem is, she will being suing herself,as the clause that allows the producers to break the contract,legally,is unchangeable and was brought in and passed by government. So in effect,she is suing herself!!! Good luck with that.
    The stupidity of the leftards runs deep.

  9. Since we’re talking about the state best known for Hollywood, this must apply : Stupid is as stupid does. It has nothing to do with IQ. Math and engineering skills and aptitude, perhaps.
    Does anyone still remember when electrical companies were investments considered safe enough for even widows? Prices were stable and affordable. Electricity was plentiful. Keeping your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer was not considered a sin that needed to be punished by governments artificially raising the cost via carbon pricing (sin tax). And all for a measly difference of .05C to .005C by the year 2100, if the entire world is as pointlessly altruistic as Europe and NA.
    I’m sure glad politicians, business class environmentalists and activists, the “smart” people, fixed that affordable, reliable, plentiful electricity problem for us. Congratulations. What would we do without you.

  10. What’s interesting in all this is that this was a four-party agreement: PG&E, a collection of environmental groups, the California government, and IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). They are the union representing the plant workers.
    Riddle me this. What kind of union sells out its own members? Why is the local leadership who agreed to this still not hanged in effigy by those who pay their union dues? All the other parties in this agreement can at least make some claim to representing their interests, EXCEPT IBEW. This is as big a sellout of union members as was ever made by the Teamsters Union in the bad old days when it was being run by Jimmy Hoffa and the Mafia.

  15. Union leadership is just like party leadership; they serve themselves and only themselves. They pay to get their friends elected, their friends pay the debt by passing laws that make union membership mandatory; repeat cycle.

  16. I quite agree. I found that out at the place where I was teaching.
    There were rumours that our staff association negotiators were only concerned about getting nice retirement packages for themselves.
    The staff association who was in office when I started signed everything the institution’s administration put in front of him. His successor may have fought for the collective group, but he didn’t hesitate to collaborate with administrators if there was a dispute with an individual instructor.
    His successor was willing to go to the wall for the teaching staff but internal politics forced her out. Her successor was another administration lapdog.
    The support staff was much better off as it was represented by the provincial public workers union.
