I heard that rolling blackouts are back. How does that work? Do you know when you may be blacked out? Or is it a complete shock when it does happen?
It would suck to be working and suddenly have the power go off on you or cooking or or or.
Here’s hoping you get some advance warning or at least some notification that your area is on the list for possible blackouts.

News to me. We normally get email and/or text notifications of any planned outages. I know they called a “flex” alert where they ask everyone to reduce their usage, due to the unusually hot weather.
That doesn’t really apply to me because I’m already covering all of my usage during the peak period between solar and battery storage. Not actually hoping for an outage here but I haven’t had a chance yet to see how well the battery backup works in a real situation. It’s one of the reasons we’ve done all the work on our house in the past couple of years.

We got notice the one time they blacked us out, by then there was zero in the freezer that could spoil. We just went camping for a couple of days. Didn’t really notice any problems when we got back.
And Shedick lying again is getting super old.

Today, I’d be more worried about the folks in Iowa.
Large parts of the state were virtually destroyed on Monday. Their R governor took five days to request federal assistance and their two R senators have yet to be heard from.

The supreme orange one has established the R agenda. Point a finger away for any problems that may be. Do not acknowledge anything unfortunate until it can be directed at the opposition.
This is why the governor, senators, R leaders do nothing.

fuck their flex alerts, I run the ACs on both ends of my house at 68 degrees and they still say I produce more power than I use, but they won't pay me for all they take from my solar panels

Killing a baby is illegal unless the mother's life is at risk. And even then the baby is provided palliative care prior.
Otherwise there are "babies being killed."

The Left Shitter platform---
Dump isn't responsble for 165,000 and growing Covid 19 deaths and millions of positive cases because......Democrats support legal abortion.
The Party of Personal Responsibility (TM).......refuses to take any sort of personal responsibitliy for the elected officials they put in office. As a reminder, we still do not have any sort of federal strategy and response to fight Covid 19 other than enriching Trump officials and Trump cronies with shady contracts.
Pretty well sums up the Dump Administration.

He's talking about abortion, aka the intentional genocide of the African-American population. Cacs had a good run. 50 years later, and they're still officially replaced by non-whites. Just not the descendants of slaves feared most.

This just in this morning:
Dear Customer,
As you have seen in the news, electric utilities in California, including SDG&E, are being directed to initiate rotating outages due to prolonged heat and high energy demand. To help avoid the potential for widespread rotating outages in the coming days, it’s vital we all do our part to help reduce the strain on the electric grid by conserving energy.
The heatwave is forecasted to continue through Thursday. As a result, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which manages the state’s power grid and is responsible for ordering rotating outages, is urging everyone to conserve energy because exceptionally high energy demand is expected during this period. CAISO has issued a Flex Alert today through Wednesday, asking for reduced energy use.
Without significant conservation measures to reduce demand on the grid, we anticipate SDG&E and other utilities in the state will be required to implement widespread rotating outages as a last resort to help maintain stability of the statewide grid. Power is usually restored to impacted customers in about an hour.
Due to the severity of the forecasted conditions, it is possible that customers who were affected by rotating outages on Friday and Saturday (Aug. 14 and 15) could be impacted again over the coming days, if CAISO directs SDG&E to implement rotating outages.
Communities located in High Fire Threat Districts that are subject to Public Safety Power Shutoffs are excluded from rotating outages, as are certain critical facilities, such as hospitals, police and fire stations.
How You Can Help
Conservation continues to be vital to help avoid the need for rotating outages, as well as the duration of outages and the number of customers affected. Health and safety permitting, here are some actions to take to save energy:
• Set your air conditioner thermostat a few degrees higher (ideally at 78 degrees or higher) and pre-cool your home before 4 p.m. If possible, turn off the AC during a power emergency
• Use large appliances, such as dishwashers, clothes washers, and dryers before 4 p.m. or after 9 p.m.
• Reduce pool pump filtering or turn it off
• Keep the doors of your refrigerator and freezer closed.
• Switch off all unnecessary lighting (for businesses, turn off advertising signs and display/flood/decorative lighting)
• Cut down on water use because water pumping/processing requires electricity
• Don’t charge electric vehicles from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., if possible
• Defer or reduce all non-essential use of commercial and industrial equipment, such as boilers, exhaust fans, reproduction equipment, maintenance and repair equipment, dispensing machines, intercoms, cleaning equipment, circulating pumps and electric chargers.
To help support our community during this challenging time, everyone is also urged to continue to observe social distancing and face covering guidelines as they find ways to cope with the heat and rotating outages.
Where to Learn More
While SD&GE may not receive much advance notice that it is being directed to implement outages, SDG&E is committed to providing our customers with as much notice as possible as the situation changes. We are leveraging multiple means to provide customers with updates, including automated phone calls, text messages, emails, our website (sdge.com), local news outlets and social media (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram).
• For information about outages and restoration times, visit sdge.com/outagemap
• For safety tips on what to during an outage and for answers to frequently asked questions regarding rotating outages, visit sdge.com/outage
If rotating outages are ordered by CAISO, SDG&E will post the circuit and block numbers of those who may be impacted at sdgenews.com. You can find those numbers on your paper bill under the electric service section or via the SDG&E app or sdge.com/myaccount.
We understand there is never a good time to lose power, and it’s especially challenging during a heat wave and pandemic. Please be assured we will restore power safely and quickly as soon as we are directed to do so by CAISO. We appreciate your efforts to conserve energy and thank you for your patience.

yeah, Death Valley reached 130 degrees yesterday (hottest recorded temperature in the world in over 100 years). Today looks like it starting to bake again.
It's not quite so hot here today. It's only up to 88, probably because it's been cloudy (and muggy as hell). It was 95 yesterday.
Fortunately (for me I guess) we are exempt for the time being from rolling blackouts. But that's only because we're on the Public Safety Power Shutoff list for being in a high fire risk area. Can't wait for the Santa Ana's to start.
I don't use any electricity from the grid between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM anyway. It's all covered by PV and a battery.

Nice good for you. Got some relief last couple of days with the tropical rain. I can't remember the last time it rained here in the summer. It was 110 in the Bay Area befor the rain. Still hot but muggy as well.

Doesn't matter if it did or didn't, Red. There are Epsteins and Maxwells and Bucks in the world engaging in far worse degeneracy than getting pissed on by adult women in a foreign country.
If it's about the women's nationality, about who owns the women's bodies, then that is what needs to be addressed. Are Russian hookers proof of being compromised by a foreign country? or just a fetish for a particular body type?
