I have literally had $400 per month SDG&E bills despite being fairly frugal and do not having a giant house.  Thus why I invested in solar.  Last month my SDG&E bill was just $45.  The problem is other people can no longer copy what I did as the new net metering rules gutted credits people get for installing solar being reduced by 80%.  Worse, the newest proposed rules mean businesses and multiple unit buildings (apartments) will now get virtually no financial benefit for installing solar.  Dems just don't want roof top solar and have made sure no additional capacity will be installed in the future.

I now here they just want people to reduce electricity use and plan for future "load shedding" which means rolling black outs to force people to use less.  This would destroy economies; just look at how it has destroyed South Africa's economy but this is what Democrats are saying they want according to the California Public Utilities Commission.  They want to destroy the economy and this is a religion for them.

I plan to eventually install one or two battery backups on my house to have a few hours of backup power for my family plus wire and outdoor plug where I can install a generator.  I am unsure which generator path is the best to go with.  The two options arebtwo small generators plugged in series or a whole house back up generator (maybe with dual fuel natural gas or propane power).  The second one would be much more expensive.

I cant wait to see the fires that are started when those lowlifes who are paying next to nothing begin to think it's a brilliant idea to string lines of daisy chained extension cords to their neighbors houses for a monthly fee

I knew rationing electricity use was part of this climate emergency bullshit.

Ir won't reduce emissions. What it will do is make less abundant and more expensive.

It really pisses me off the way the left wants to mess around with electricity.

So many blacks are thieves and robbers this is how The Liquor Store in Compton has to operate.  Even the black lady making the film say "this is the nigger liquor store in Compton".

Here are a couple of stats about California compared to Florida.

Homelessness
California-170,000 people on the streets
Florida has a little over 27,000 with the majority in shelters

Gasoline
California-$4.85 a gallon
Florida-$3.16 a gallon

People leaving or moving to the state
California from January 2020-January 2023-the state had 800,000 people leave the Golden State for other states
Florida from 2020-2022-622,000 moved to the state from other states

You just cant believe how many people are moving to Florida.They're building new roads and neighborhoods everywhere.

A 5 minute drive through my neighborhood shows no less than 10 new homes under construction at any given time

Some California business owners are getting savvy in protecting their merchandise now that the state has basically decriminalized shoplifting.

A business owner was able to track down an alleged thief who had stolen thousands of dollars of items after putting Apple AirTag trackers on his merchandise.

Michael Sullivan, the operations manager for Roger's Garden, told KABC-TV that the nursery in Newport Beach had been hit by a thief several times, and he was caught on video, but police were unable to do anything about it.

Big government Democrats pass state level policies based upon what their urban big city base wants (along with what brain dead suburban white women feel sounds nice) but they absolutely fucking destroy rural areas and small towns/cities.  Richmond was always a run down blue collar town even in the best of times but the massive over regulations of everything and sky high minimum wage laws just render marginal areas such as Richmond unviable.

Most of these small businesses were owned by immigrants, people of color, and working class white families.  These groups don't have deep pockets and they often are just barely making it.  So when the general economy takes a hit they are in trouble but when radical leftists in the state government also gives them a few gut punches then the entire economy of these economically marginal areas goes under.  Especially when Dems do unscientific shutdowns for political reasons.  Vote blue and your town can also start looking like Richmond.
