From the Department of Redundancy Department:
“…left without power Thursday morning as a result of a Canyon Country power outage.” Ya think?
A whole community of senior citizens without power on a 104 degree day. From 9 am till still off at 4:43. PM
A Thursday morning Canyon Country outage left 1,600 without power.
Just wait till everyone has electric vehicles!
There is no shortage of power. The infrastructure sucks. Storage is critical. Electric vehicles provide grid storage when idle and charged. So they improve rather than threaten the future.
Did the lights ever go back on?
Sierra Hwy and Whispering Leaves is Newhall or Santa Clarita, not Canyon Country.
So our idiot governor Gruesome Newsom wants to kill gas and diesel powered vehicles and transfer over to electrical power. YET, we continually have power outages. Without building more power generating plants, how will Newsom fix our aging grid to handle the extra surge?
Can’t wait as the 10s of 1,000s of more new homes get built as well as the drought!
