The alert has been in effect for several days in the midst of a heat wave that is slated to last through Labor Day. The California Independent System Operator, the manager of the state’s power grid, issued the statewide Flex Alert from 4 to 9 p.m. Residents are urged to set their thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, avoid using major appliances, avoid charging electric vehicles, and turning off unnecessary lights. “Additional Flex Alerts will likely be called as heat will only intensify through Tuesday, with little relief from triple-digit temperatures seen over the next several days,” the operator wrote. “Daytime high temperatures are forecast at 10-20 degrees above normal in much of the state through the Labor Day weekend and into next week, and record-breaking heat is projected in some parts of California.” Elliot Mainzer, Cal ISO president, told local media this weekend that Sept. 1 saw the “highest demand for power” since September 2017 in California, adding that it’s “a dress rehearsal for what’s going to be much more significantly stressed conditions here as we get into the heart of the weekend.” The National Weather Service says 100-degree temperatures are currently hitting Los Angeles, the state’s most populated city, on Sunday. Sacramento and other areas in the Central Valley, meanwhile, are forecast to hit 113 degrees F on Monday and Tuesday. San Jose, another heavily populated city, will see temperatures over 100 F on Monday and Tuesday.

Quoting: Whiskey*Tango Can the electric company view a draw in real time? That would be some shit wouldn’t it? I just hooked up individual meters on my triplex. Even I can read real time. You gotta know they can. And you gotta know they will. Smart meters..... |

Apparently authorities have little approach to the thousands of illegal grow operations and people regularly go missing with no investigation 3 counties where illegal growers run wild |

Pretty sure they will be forced to back off this EV bullshit, the infrastructure obviously isn't in place. It's all political for now. We'll see. Quoting: Tangy I bet every EV charge station is open for business. Are you in the Central Valley? I'm in Sacramento, and today forecast is 113 and Tuesday is 114, All time high is 114 going back 150 years. So it got up to 114 degrees in 1872? Check the local newspapers from back then and you won't find a single headline screaming "CLIMATE CHANGE!!!" 1925...The records only go back to 1870s The point is...did humans cause the high temperature than? Did we have to many gasoline cars? |
