I wonder how it'll fare if they have a prolific wildfire season this year? I'm thinking it could be in the cards based on persistence of the pattern, climatology, and modeling. Their fire seasons are likely to become increasingly hard on the areal power grid in the future.

The important part from the article: To prevent the West Coast Power Grid from collapsing, the California Independent System Operator (which manages 80% of the states grid) extended a Flex Alert, urging residents to curtail electricity use between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm till the end of the week. The operator also suggested residents pre-cool their homes at 72 degrees Fahrenheit before 4 pm and then set their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher during conservation hours, CNN Reports. Additionally, residents should avoid charging electric vehicles or using large appliances. You can argue the semantics around whether something is "on the verge of collapsing" or not depending on whether these series of steps are taken, I'm not interested in that fight, but it does call into question how exactly California is going to shift everyone from gas to electric if they're already at a point where they're asking owners not to charge their cars to prevent blackouts. Google says that currently about 13% of California drivers are in an electric car. I don't think it would be controversial to state that their power grid clearly couldn't handle 50% of drivers, let alone 100%, taxing the grid whenever they plug in. Either California is going to have to make sweeping changes to their power grid in the next decade or they're going to have to ease up on their push for electric vehicles, because as it exists today those two goals are fundamentally incompatible. Edit: or hidden option c, California needs to stop decommissioning their nuclear power plants and shift to functioning green energy by building more instead. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Cleo_II posted... Good thing we have solar unfortunately most solar arrays are plugged into the grid, so in the event of rolling blackouts, the small amount of electricity required to operate your panels will not be supplied, so they cannot generate the larger amount they produce when supplied having solar is definitely good for your community though! reduces your personal drawing from the grid, since you likely produce more than you use during the 4-9pm hours. --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. ...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-california-vpp-virtual-power-plant-california-heat-wave/ One thing that's interesting about California's power grid these days is that hundreds of home owners have Tesla powerwalls. They've been running the virtual power plant program where they can have those hundreds of homes supply power to the grid if they opt in. In the most recent event, they supplied about 20mW of power to the grid from people's homes. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...
