What a Bunch of Assholes

Our idiot asshole gov newsom is ticked off that we have rolling power blackouts. 

1 million California homes, businesses could lose power amid heat wave; Gov. Newsom demands probe

An irate Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an emergency proclamation Sunday allowing some energy users and utilities to tap backup energy sources. He acknowledged Monday that the state failed to predict and plan for the energy shortages.

Well no shit blinky, after years of shutting down natural gas and coal fired and biomass power plants that made good amounts of electricity for us, what the hell did you think was going to happen? Solar? Solar is great, for an individual house. But when it comes to providing electricity for the whole state, solar sucks! So does windpower. 

If you drive south of fresno calif down hiway 41 you will come upon at least 2 solar plants. One of those suckers is a full mile long, and at least a half mile wide. That is one helluva crapload of solar panels, must make a helluva lot of electricity. When the sun shines.

A lot of people will be on the bandwagon and say we need nuclear power.  Before you do, just say one word: Fukushima.

I operated nuke reactors in the navy, they are not as safe as folks would have you believe.

Anyway, calif government is full of assholes. We got a recall petition going, but I doubt it will go far. Too many people like sucking on government.
