[…] California Energy Crash Coming By KATY GRIMES,Cal Watchdog, 2/8/12 Ready for more electricity blackouts? With California’s renewable energy mandates, cap and trade requirements, and implementation of AB 32, it is becoming increasingly clear that California is at a precarious energy crossroads, and one that lawmakers don’t yet appear willing to address. They are still busy patting themselves on the back for passage of the Renewable Portfolio Standard. But lawmakers will soon be forced to address the upcoming lawmaker-made energy crisis because their renewable energy mandates won’t be able to power the state. An new study released by the California Independent System Operator, CalISO, warns that as California tries to meet the stringent requirements of the Renewable Portfolio Standard of 33 percent renewable energy production, “so does the need for flexible capacity resources.” “Integrating a 33 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard creates several new challenges for the ISO,” the study states. “Among these challenges is ensuring that the ISO has sufficient flexible capacity to address the added variability and unpredictability created by intermittent resources.” The 33 percent figure is no coincidence, as the Legislature pushed through and passed the environmentally restrictive Renewable Portfolio Standard, which mandates that California obtain 33 percent of all electricity from renewable resources by 2020. CalISO is a quasi-governmental agency, which exists to regulate the reliability of the state electrical grid. It appears that CalISO doesn’t believe that meeting the RPS of 33 percent renewable energy is possible, even though “CalISO also is partnering with California’s energy and environmental agencies to implement a new vision for California’s Clean Energy Future…. “California is making plans to link the cap-and-trade system with that of Quebec in 2012, under the auspices of the Western Climate Initiative, but challenges remain as allowances trade at record lows.” So far, no other countries are interested in participating in trading carbon credits.

I can hardly wait for the Chickens to come home to roost. This is a legislative made disaster coming and these scumbags are going to see what kind of mass damage to a state these insane leftist green polices are going to do. The non -existent renewable power is a pipe dream and we then can , once and for all times finally start to move forward with REAL energy polices. The ballot imitative to make the Legislature part time again is now out for signing to be on the November ballot. Find one and pass it around to your friend s and family. This would be the fastest way to get control of our government again. When the black outs and brown outs start, people will MAYBE stop voting for the same idiots who put these polices and bureaucracy in place

Well done! Would we call the betters plans for us dimnatude or dhimmitude? The other shoe is of course that if we have a scarcity of electrons then allotment will be needed. That leeds us to elimination of personal travel and “incentives” for living in central housing within walking distance of task performance assigned by our betters. All this loss of personal choice is required because of limited “resources” and the requirement that they be used for the good of the masses.A better world awaits us if we will just submit.
I know it seems nuts, but watch what they do. I’m only sorta nuts.

In the meantime, the small guy gets hosed on his utility bills to the tune of 40% over what they should be because they are not using natural gas and/or hydro. I wish someone would explain to the drones that vote these idiots in year after year how much they are getting screwed by the increased cost of EVERYTHING due to the increased cost of energy that goes into producing our goods and services.

So what, All that matters is that our Public Masters and their disciples feel good, How dare you bring up Fact into an Emotional argument. Are you trying to purposely Damage their Self Esteem?? I hope you turn yourself in for this blatant hate crime against the well intentioned Masters.
