Title: I just received this emergency alert on my phone.
Post by: -gg- on September 06, 2022, 08:11:19 PM
The California power grid is a mess. It's been this way for as long as anyone can remember.

I'm not sure how they expect people to go to all electric vehicles when they can't even supply power to people's air conditioners when they're dying from the heat.

How many hours DOES it take to charge the average electric car? (with typical home charger) Less than 8?...MORE than 8?

Maybe Kali residents shouldn't be charging anything. Not computers, phones or lithium battery flashlights. Electric Wattage Matters!!

Gina start a gofundme instead of complaining. or just set up your thermostat to 78.

or have another thread when taxes go up to fix the power grid.

So I should start a crowdsourcing effort to build the power grid in california?

I don't think I was complaining. I was making a point.

I was making a point too.  you complain now because the grid is insufficient and you will complain tomorrow when they tax to upgrade the grid.

so either way you will complain. or you can just set your thermostat to 78 instead of 72.

I didn't fly squad night tonight because of the alert. Figured I would rather keep the ac running. I already do all that other energy conservation stuff that is recommended and I'm actually shown as using less electricity this year than last.

Not sure why we should pay more taxes for a reliable power grid. We are already the highest taxed state in the union for real bad service all the way around.

oh and BTW that alert that you got on your phone. are you surprised? did it come out of nowhere? after all it's been all over the news for weeks.

what's even worst you even participated in thread that mentioned what you just posted.  perhaps you should report yourself for starting a duplicate thread.

it did come as a surprise, as I was in bed and suddenly both of my phones started blaring with the emergency broadcast alarms.

There wasn't another thread with the same subject.

I'm looking at land.

I want to have at least an acre and build something that can run off-grid if needed. Mostly I just want the security of owning my own land.
