California has purchased and shut down their only Nuclear power plant and a bunch of fossil fuel plants in favor of wind and solar. As a result they have brownouts and rolling blackouts. Once everyone plugs in their recharging stations for all of these electric cars there won't be enough power left to operate my laptop to post on RedSquare. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
