California Asks Residents to Avoid Charging Electric Cars Amid Power Grid Strain

California's power grid operators have asked the state's residents to conserve electricity in order to put less strain on the power grid amid a major heat wave...

Hows that for a green deal???? Not gonna happen!

Can you just see it -
"Boss, I can't come in to work because I can't charge up my car"
Can they buy a gas run generator to charge a car? Boy, will they be a hot item.

Let me save Stan and Bucky the time and go ahead and say that unless MSNBC has this same story then it's fake.

It's not fake. Texas can't even keep electricity on to keep the pump running, the heater going, the refrig and freezer going, and now we're going to charge our electric cars? Texas is relying too much on wind power. If we wasn't so poor, we'd buy a generac.

I heard a interview with someone on the board of ERTOC and he said that 30% of our (Texas) grid is made up of renewable energy and it (renewable energy) only makes 6% of our energy. It's just not a good energy source. It can't be store for a long time either.

I think some Tesla cars have an option for a small Honda gas generator you keep in the trunk if you are using it in an area where there aren't a lot of charging stations, or you plan on taking long trips.

 

[Chevy]

So....they plug up a Telsa to a charging station which is electric.... electric coming from where?
Windmills, coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear energy, solar, ect.
If the electric is coming from windmills or solar maybe... otherwise not knowing where the electric is coming from electric cars are defeating the purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong.
On the other hand are we all going to be forced to have electric cars, solar, windmills, ect. At a certain point our power will be cut off due to lack of wind sun ect not all areas have enough wind or sun to have these as options. So we just not going to have trees? What's the long term effect of solar panels the toxins on humans? Don't they only last 10-20 years... than were will all the solar panels with all the toxins go? What's the long term plans? Ever say a windmills propellers fly off?

 

[Mrcopier]

I dont think they last 10-20 years even, and where do they make the windmills??? What do they use to build them?? ELECTRICITY!!!

 

[Buck Randall]

It's almost as if we need a giant infrastructure bill to modernize the country. Hmmm...

 

[D2Cat]

If only what the folks call infrastructure was really infrastructure.

What D2Cat said!
