California's main electrical utility is now cutting power to millions of customers. The reason is, due to years of poor maintenance, they are worried about the power lines starting forest fires. Rather than do maintenance, they simply shut down when winds are high.

One of the interesting things to come out of this is that a lot of people who went all in on residential solar power are finding that it does them no good in an outage. Most of the solar systems are connected to the grid and do not have local storage. When the grid is down, so is the homeowner's residential system.

Kind of like what we found out about our windmills 2 years ago. Unless they have grid power for energization, they cannot generate enough power on their own to light a flashlight.

Speaking of windmills, the Naguabo wind farm is still dead. There seem to be no plans whatever to repair it. All the money in windmills seems to be in building them, not actually operating them.

Another scam on us long-suffering taxpayers.

NUCLEAR NOW!
