Massive Power Outages Across Bay Area after California’s Grid Operator Declares Emergency Amid Soaring Temps

 

Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California…

Thousands of customers across the Bay Area were without power Monday afternoon amid a blistering heat wave.

California’s grid operator on Monday declared an energy emergency amid soaring temps.

Californians were strongly urged to use less energy today between 5pm to 9pm to avoid rotating blackouts. 

People were urged to turn off appliances, turn up their thermostats and avoid charging electric vehicles during the peak hours.

More than 20,000 customers in North Bay, East Bay and South Bay were without power Monday afternoon.

Temps in Sacramento reached 115 degrees today and now customers in the area are without power.

What a nightmare!

Joe Biden’s incompetent Energy Secretary said the rest of the country should follow California’s radical ban on gas-powered vehicle sales.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm touted California’s ban on gas-powered cars even though the state issued a flex alert asking Californians not to charge their electric vehicles during a sweltering heatwave to avoid rolling blackouts.

This is what Joe Biden wants for all Americans, except for the elites.

The elites will be able to charge their EVs or still enjoy their gas-powered fleets while the peasants are unable to drive or travel.
