And still Lefty insists there’s nothing wrong in California. Everything is a-ok and Democrats ‘ misguided policies had nothing to do with the fact that the once-golden state is now a bleak, dark, rat-infested sewer.
On top of high poverty rates,
skyrocketing homelessness,
rising crime, and the return of medieval-sounding diseases, the state California) has been hit by a series of rolling, widespread blackouts.
The blackout, which has hit cities throughout Northern California, is causing chaos: businesses have to shut down, people can’t go to work, and in some blacked-out areas, curfews have been put in place to prevent crime.
Renewable energy has been prioritized over reliable infrastructure, DeVore
recently wrote in The Federalist, while there has been an uptick of vulnerable power lines to connect distant wind farms to urban centers.
PG&E shifted its priority to the overpriced renewables at the behest of politicians, The Wall Street Journal
explained in an article aptly titled “California’s Dark Ages.”
For years, the utility skimped on safety upgrades and repairs while pumping billions into green energy and electric-car subsidies to please its overlords in Sacramento.
Credit Suisse has estimated that long-term contracts with developers of renewables cost the utility $2.2 billion annually more than current market power rates.
Now, in large parts of California, if you want to keep the lights on during the blackouts, you better have a flashlight or a gas lamp. Twenty-first century green dreams have led to 19th-century realities.
The Dark Ages indeed.
