California keeps Electricity - Who or how will the LSD's provide it?
2022-08-26
Yesterday, it was calculated the Kilo-Watt-Hours that California will need to just swap over its existing 15 million Fuel Power Vehicles, would be about 219,000,000,000 kWh a year.

That's 219 Billion more Kilo Watt Hours of Electricity a year than California can produce now, to even keep the lights on and the AC's running.

Given, this figure did not include the energy needed to mine, produce and install the infrastructure to support the charging of the Million EV's. Nor the related Hazmat waste generated pr the massive disruptions to their precious environment to install the cabling.

It begs the Big Question:
Where is the power going to come from?

Will California rebuild all the Dams and return to Hydro Power, and/or build or refuel the Nuclear Power plants? Both of which take 10+ years to permit and do?

Or will California ramp up Solar and Wind Power?

Or who will they steal it from?

#7  Maybe Nevada and Arizona should build a few nuke plants. They'll cash in while California preens.

#6  The two people left in the state by 2030 will have more than enough power. They can scoot around on shag carpet in their socks and shock their lights on.

#5  #1 eco-freaks don't have the ability to grasp that in any civil war scenario, all those lines and pipelines get cut and there is no way to protect the full hundreds/thousands of miles of them.

#2  Both California and Illinois (and probably New York too) have only one plan for all their future needs: Socialism inflicted on everyone who lives outside their borders.

#1  Those last two lines are sick because they present reality of the eco-freaks.

Any one in Arizona, Nevada or Oregon better look out for new power lines that come from the land of fruits and nuts.
