  1. and Electric Cars Pipe Dream for FOOLS. HEY, YOU ARE IN Trouble

  2. And yet it's the first weekend in a month that I haven't had a 6hr power outage! 🤷‍♂️

  3. It's because of climate changes! Everyone needs to turn off their AC units so we can charge our cars!

  4. Don’t get me started on windmills

  5. Another climate change wildfire started in a California neighborhood.

    Was this another arsonist college professor, or a person using PGE equipment for target practice, or an illegal campfire, or a discarded cigarette along the freeway?

  6. MSM has been blowing sunshine up are azz for too long. Fair & balanced my azz.

  7. To everyone : Who is the liar ? It is the man(popo,papa)Who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist; he denies the Father(God) and the Son(Jesus) No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(Book of Bible, 1John 2:22) "Many deceives, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.(Book of Bible,2John 1:7) Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man( popo,papa)of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped,so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God."(Book of Bible,2Thessalonians 2:3) "Fear God and give him glory because the hour of his judgment has come.Worship him who made the heavens, the earth and the springs of water."(Book of Bible,Revelation 14:7)

  8. California dreaming turning into California nightmares.

  9. Biden's fault. This never happened when the orange fascist was in charge. #trumpISaboveTHElaw.
    Vote so they can throw it out.
    Register so they can wipe you from the rolls.

  10. So um, how y’all like your elected officials now……

  11. Don’t worry Gavin Newsom will save you by making it worse 🙌🙌🙌🙌🔵🔵🔵🔵

  12. California keeps building but it is not taking care of the forest, especially around towns.

  13. ONLY ELECTRIC CARS WILL BE APPROVED for you Serfs in California! “…If you fail to follow the Dictate, your Social Score will be impacted and the Reich will make your life miserable…”

  14. This is the State that wants to charge electric Cars all day ???

  15. Don't worry CA — build back better + gavin newsome = problems solved

  16. How is going to all electric vehicles working out. Vote Newsom and these democrats out of office.

  17. Great work!! The democrats that are in charge of California are doing such a good job at doing a horrible job!!🙌🙌🙌🙌

  18. No power problems: crank up the windmill and solar panels.

  19. Luckily we have energy independence. Oh wait… not so much anymore.

  20. California: OMG we are in so much trouble (due to your inept decision making). Everyone else: LOL..good luck (just dont move to my state)

  21. California has done ALL of this to themselves.

  22. Isn't this the same state that want's all vehicles to be electric by 2035? At this rate that may be attainable because there will be like 5 people left alive.

  23. Don’t plug your cars in

  24. It's almost as if spurning the cleanest, most efficient, most abundant source of energy possible with current technology isn't such a good idea. COUGHnuclearCOUGH Oh excuse me. Scratchy throat.

  25. and they want all electric cars in the next 15 yrs and cant even power the houses they have?

  26. The risk of wildfires increases in extremely dry conditions, such as drought, and during high winds. Wildfires can disrupt transportation, communications, power and gas services, and water supply. They also lead to a deterioration of the air quality, and loss of property, crops, resources, animals and people.

  27. Don't forget to thank all the rich people for making the black outs with there giant huge houses that 2 people live in and keep hole place cool !

  28. Decades of mismanagement at the hands of Democrats.

    Remember the libs that live in CA claim that state has the 3rd largest economy in the world?…….
