| #11 Talked to my friend in Alamo, California today. He and his wife went to South Africa and Namibia to go hunting. Went well, but Namibia is in a SEVERE drought. Was gone for a month and came home and power outages caused freezers to fail and thaw in garage. Lots of game meat, salmon, ducks, geese thawed out. Smelled like some serial killer's garage. I told him to get a standby generator running on an emergency circuit to take care of the freezers, refrigerators, and some lights. Maybe 5 to 7 kw natural gas. There is a YUGE backlog of installations to go right now. Welcome to the turd world. |

| #10 Tax subsidies for windmill power so they can shut the grid down when the wind blows. That's California stupid. |

| #9 The Democrat plan for every state in the US. Centrist and right-wing news sites and channels should shout this out 24/7. Make this the only issue, louder than the lynching on in Washington, the elections, or Syria. Expose what happens if a liberal or libertarian fool plan is allowed. |

| #8 Note to all millennials that think socialism is a great thing. CA is the example of a near socialist state. The power company is government run. The power is off because they failed to keep the lines maintained and the transformers up to date. A lot like Venezuela. The poor are filling the streets, homeless and now sick with disease. The rich are barricaded in their castles. And the working, tax paying, middle class are leaving. Vote for Bernie or warren, this is your future... |

| #1 Welcome to the third world, where neighbors will set up their own neighborhood ad-hoc electric utilities and fire fighting volunteer brigades. HINT: use natural gas for your generators until the govt shuts it off. Stand watches for the CARB police. |
