WUWT: When the sun goes dark, California will lose the equivalent of five nuclear power plants of power.
California is bracing for a significant loss of electric power as its fast-growing fleet of solar electric panels plunge into darkness during a major solar eclipse on August 21.
While the eclipse will be partial in the state, energy planners are getting ready to tap 6,000 megawatts of electricity from other sources between 9 a.m. and noon PDT during the eclipse, according to the California ISO which oversees the electricity markets in America’s most populous state.
The new vulnerability of the massive electric grid to a celestial marvel like an eclipse reflects a massive transformation of how energy is being created and used in America – something most consumers do not ordinarily think about. more here
Plans are underway to blow up that pesky moon. We’re going to catapult a Tesla at it.
I’m going to see Ozzy Osborn during the eclipse, at Moonstock 2017.
There will be another full eclipse April 8 2024.

Sorry for double posting….but it is worth repeating.
Could somebody post the traffic jams, rioting, and freakishness
from something not really concerning happening?
I’m sure SeeENEN will be all over the calamities that ensue.
Does the shadow run west to east or is that map wrong?
Here are some good maps of the eclipse:

– – It goes west to east
Thank God and ExxonMobil/ConocoPhillips/BP etc. for fossil fuels to keep California’s air conditioners humming while the eclipse shuts down the solar grid.
– You think the ecolibtards will show any appreciation?
You know when else they need that added capacity? It’s called “sundown”, from an ancient Mayan word that means “Play time is over”.
I’ll check my almanac to see when this will occur next.

Any more of their “forward” thinking and the entire state will be back in the stone age.
Jerry “moonbeam” will think this is a tribute to him.
Happens every day – it’s called “Night time”.
More proof that Jerry Brown has to go
