Comment Re:Why is the news pretending not to know? (Score 3, Informative) 260

I did read the article and there was not one mention regarding the effect of solar or local congestion. The reserve numbers they were using were quoting were for statewide capacity. Unfortunately there are limitations to how much electricity can be moved between areas. The Bay Area was hit hard but has a historical local limitation that continues to be a struggle because of opposition to new plants within the local area. You can regularly see the local prices in the Bay Area jump anytime it is hot there because they can only bring in so much from the outside. It was not helped by solar which drops off when the sun goes down but the demand does not drop off at the same rate. That is why the blackouts started in the evening.

There you go. Acting on information. Facts.
You should know better. You aren't hyping up the paranoia. You aren't driving views and exploring the depths of YouTube.
We should be locking up everyone against their will creating additional opportunities for the virus to spread like they did on the Princess Cruise in Japan.
All because I heard one guy with no appropriate credentials say that is how it should be done.

Why aren't the members of Congress questioning themselves. Legislators are protected from their choice due to their generous lifetime health care. This model is allowed to exist because the wealthy are highly invested in pharmaceuticals. They make money on these outrageous costs. It basically becomes a tax on the poor and elderly.
