Lost more than 100,000 since 2020, while the rest of the country grew in population.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Doesn't matter at the current rate of exodus, no one will be left in CA to care.
Good point.
Actually California population is growing. The largest group in Texans moving to California.

Just did some math on this question because I’m curious and replacing 100% of current gasoline consumption in the US (135.7 billion gallons per year) would require around 1,700 Terawatts of additional electricity generation each year. Current utility scale electricity generation per year is around, 4,230 TW. So electricity generation needs to increase by 40% to electrify 100% of gasoline vehicles.
When did anyone ever say it was going to happen overnight. Even the most aggressive timeline, in California, is targeting 10 years out.
Meanwhile California is trying to close down the remaining power plants still in the state and rely solely on grid power from other states, lolz! Pure genius.
And last year during the annual summer brownouts, there was a bunch of talk about REQUIRING owners of EV’s to keep them plugged into charging ports so that power *could be drawn* from millions of vehicle batteries back into the power grid in times of peak demand!
California is a LOT like DCUM - out of touch bubble dwellers.
Ouch.

Xun xact: In the last year California added enough capacity in solar (5000MW) and wind (1000MW) to power around 1.3 million homes.
All of your fossil fuel lobby money can suck an egg because you're falling behind in your narratives.
California has the most expensive electricity in the country outside of Hawaii.
Double your energy bills, which are already higher because of Democrats' policies in Maryland and Virginia.
California has expensive electricity because of several things, particularly issues with the wildfires, along with putting a lot of investments into their infrastructure and distribution grid. California has one of the most complex and challenging distribution grids in the country.
But some talking head told you "Democrat policies" without any details and you just accept that and repeat it to others.
A lot of words to say they can't figure out how to do what every other state does

No. That’s exactly why Democrats try to force us to buy EVs, or you’re stuck in a 15 minute city to survive. Sheer Communism was their goal.

There is spare capacity in the US grid. Smart people have looked in to it and there is no problem with supply of electricity. People like you think EVs draw power from the grid with a big extension cord and the cars are plugged in all the time..![]()
