Brownout? https://calwatchdog.com/2013/02/13/crazifornia-will-it-be-gov-brownout/ Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:42:16 +0000 hourly 1 By: Bill - San Jose https://calwatchdog.com/2013/02/13/crazifornia-will-it-be-gov-brownout/#comment-8096 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:42:16 +0000 http://www.calwatchdog.com/?p=37950#comment-8096 I hope that Nevada gets onboard with abusing us with outrageous rates for power now and into the long term future.

When you shut down all power plants on the coast that are ocean cooled to save the fish, you deserve what you get.

When you refuse to build new reservoirs to end the term drought and simultaneously provide hydro electric power, you deserve what you get.

San Onofre is an outdated design but that doesn’t mean we should abandon nuclear power until there is a viable alternative available and ready to go. The energy contained within a nuclear reaction is unmatched by any other source of energy known to physics.

Well said BobA!!!!

Time for SONGS to be shut down and more modern methods employed!

Unlike teddy, who is an expert on anything and everything, I don’t have the knowledge to comment one way or the other on San Onofre.

After years of CWD reading I have come to understand the teabagger. They are a curious lot. They LOVE to pretend that teabaggism is ALL about smaller gov and less taxes and LOVE to pretend that they really are not just typical ultra right religious republicans and often with a latent racist/ignorant bent. I am sure that there are honest tea baggers who just view their baggism from the fiscal pov, but EVERY time we see one or more of these dullards on the news they are wearing costumes and holding patently racist/ignorant signs etc………it’s sad to see these clowns run the GOP out of power year after year but I truly don’t see any groundswell of pol courage in the party to eject them……

Thanks for at least noticing my expertise!

I am an expert on a few things.

Statistics for certain.

I would agree your knowledge on teabagging is 2nd to none.

Historically San O and PG&E’s Diablo Canyon where the overnight power sources to support pumped storage hydro projects (SCE’s Balsam Meadows and PG&E’s Helms projects) in the Sierras. These pumped hydro projects provide large amounts of vital peaking power into grid during peak demand periods. And pumped hydro has the advantage of being able to go from -0- to 100% output in under a minute.

Note also there is now a big push to shut down Diablo taking another few thousand MW off the grid. If both San O and Diablo cease generation there is only one source of power to do pump back at the hydro plants. And that is gas fired which would normally be off line at night. That is of course if there is enough gas fired generation capacity available.

That’s why a longitudinal ca. study is in the works. I used to surf there too Honda. Now I make the drive to Encinitas.

It gives of as much radiation as a smoke detector.
