Life comes at you pretty fast. On August 26, a group of government bureaucrats voted to ban gas-powered cars in California by 2035. Six days later, Californians are told not to power their electric vehicles because the grid is too weak.
The non-profit American Public Power Association issued a warning that because California is going to be very hot this weekend, residents may be using too much electricity. All the astronomical taxes Californians pay haven't been going toward making a strong grid, and it might not be able to handle the extra wattage. Citizens are strongly urged to adhere to the "Flex Alert" from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, which means setting your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher (f*ck that), turning off unnecessary lights, and avoiding using large appliances and charging electric vehicles.
Critics are laughing their asses off at California's troubles because, five short days ago, the virtue-signaling California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that gas-powered vehicles will be banned by 2035. CARB made their decision by ignoring the experts who say that's not possible. See, we only have to follow the EXPERTS if the EXPERTS support whatever the progressive agenda is that week.
Californians who drive gas-powered vehicles are NOT limited from filling up their cars with gasoline from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm. At this time, LWC is unable to confirm if a group of drivers will be burning rubber outside of blacked-out houses from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm just to be spiteful.
"But Brodigan, I don't live in California. I live in a non-socialist state. Why do I care about the socialist state?"
Because where do you think socialists in other states and Washington, DC, get their ideas from? Case in point: CARB's decision is screwing Virginia. When Democrats ran the state, they voted to give away any decision-making of their own and in 2021 passed a law requiring the state to adopt the same automobile standards as those adopted by CARB. Do you know if your state made a similar boneheaded move?
California's bad ideas become America's bad ideas while people pretend California doesn't exist. That's why we need to pay attention. We can still laugh at Califonia's misery in the meantime.
