California blackouts

Just because it says they’re Republican, doesn’t mean they’re conservative. John McCain (Committee of 300), Mitt Romney (33 Degree Mason) Both Bush’s (Committee of 300 & Skull & Bones) are all listed Republicans but All are Liberal & in The NWO!
Every person that works for our company that lives in Cali are Republicans and say that there’s way more out there than what you’d think.
I have a hard time believing that, considering CA is the leader of the movement go ban state travel to other states that aren’t as progressive as they are. As much as southerners complain about CA, they don’t do anything quite that ridiculous.
Yep let's get rid of the state with 40 million people of which you are completely (and erroneously) generalizing. Not to mention the world's 5th largest economy. ******* moron.
Listen up, You little Liberal, I’ll meet you anytime, any place & I’ll desecrate You! Just the name time & the place!
If this guy decides to m
if this guy decides to meet me, I’ll let you know the time & place & you can witness it yourself
so you think @ChicagoTiger85 is a "sacred place or thing"

It will most likely be greatly reduced in the next 10 years but it will not go away. With the lack of natural gas pipelines in SC, there's no way to eliminate all the coal capacity. It doesn't hurt that coal keeps getting cheaper due to the stations that have closed in the last decade, coal units in the Carolinas are currently competitive with simple cycle gas units.
i thought trump lifted those stupid obama environmental policies that are causing these blackouts?
Coal units, depending on the size, generally take between 4-24 hours from the call to initiate start up to actually be online producing power. If the unit was recently online, week or less, it will be a little faster.
Once they synchronize with the grid, depending on how long they were offline, it will take hours longer to run at full capacity.
Coal units are meant to run around the clock, the less they run, the more unreliable they become.
As you can see, they can't be used for emergency short term peaking, that's where natural gas shines.
I was at Progress Energy when he was there. So essentially he was my boss. Way down the chain of course. I don't really have an opinion on him, but as I recall, he played football at Penn State. So not a true southerner I don't think.
Always remember that you were at SCANA, but forgot that you also were at Progress (duh, on me..."Raleigh" should have reminded me). Yeah, my former VP was one of his right-hand folks at Progress. He seems like a pretty genuine guy, but as I said earlier ITT, he just didn't mesh well out here.
Great points. Fit for purpose/fit for design, right? You wouldn't buy a Ferrari to be a grocery-getter/taxi for the kids (Recognizing that many TI members own them, though). Baseload-desiged plants shouldn't be used as peakers.
I thought new FERC Regs lean towards hydro for peak loads to maintain riverine aquatic species, water conservation and lake front property values?
Naw. Not all of them were stupid, and as I mentioned earlier ITT, his policies didn't drive California to pursue more aggressive timelines for their policies. Fed policies didn't cause our blackouts.
hey what is going on with gov newsome and that $3 million dollar mansion his brother gave him last year that he didnt pay property taxes on??
is that a big deal?
Hydro for peak loads is great...when it's available. For us, if we get poor snowfall in the Sierra, it not only eff's up my fly fishing in late August, but it also leads to decreased availability for cheap electric power during late summer/early fall heat waves.
Irrespective of your views on Climate Change, as things get warmer, the topology of the Sierra snowpack (or any mountain chain that stores snowpack) decreases. That's not good. Combine that with the fact that geologically, the soil layers in the Sierra are thin. That means that the unconfined aquifer storage is pretty limited. Essentially, once the snow melts, it forms runoff & is "gone". This is all highly simplified, but you get the idea.
Must have been Aunt Nancy's influence?
so he is selling his for $6 million
gifted one for $3 million with no taxes
pockets $3 million on sell of old one
thats a nice gig
all while serving as governor working to fix the homeless crisis
i love DEMOCRATS
i didnt look
but i bet both mansions
are FENCED to keep out americans
man these things
1-----i wish we would focus on solar power
there is no reason every home in america cannot have a solar backup or primary system by now.
we have the resources. a good business man could make it work
2----i wish we would focus on turning saltwater into freshwater. this would solve alot of the worlds water issues
3--- i wish we would focus on getting ownership of the natural resources on mars
that would fix the checkbook on the first day of ownership
4---i wish we would focus on infrastructure
nope
we are bytching about race
go figure
So they ruined the country's food basket by letting too many people in because of the great weather - as long as you have enough water?
when they put air conditioners in colemen tents on the streets
there will be a serious power shortage
when i was in berkeley
i was told to watch where i walked
i might step on an ant
yea as much crap as i talk about california i do think 30% of the population lean republican but not too cozy with conservatives
moderate republicans can do well with the right message
I hope you’re right. Otherwise, we’ll be right where CA is. Won’t happen often, but an unusually hot or cold weather pattern with traditional units not performing will put us in the same spot.
New FERC regs definitely want to protect aquatic life. From what I've seen they mandate higher volumes of water being released around the clock, not just on peak.
SC is in a much better place than California when it comes to traditional power production.
