The mayor of Los Angeles instructed residents of his city to turn off their air conditioning and major appliances on what may have been the hottest day in the city’s history on Sunday. The demand to limit electricity use is similar to what occurs in third world countries, where the public loses access to power for large sections of the day because existing energy systems are insufficient to provide amenities such as air conditioning.
Mayor Eric Garcetti made the demand in a Sunday tweet. His tone seemed to imply that he wasn’t asking politely, although Los Angeles isn’t going to do anything to enforce his demand.
Aubry Huff is the fukcing man! Fukc that third world bullshiite.
I wonder if he abides to his own rules?
Perhaps there is a silver lining in this cloud. If enough shitholers hear about this and conclude that they might as well stay in their own shitholes rather than coming to our California shithole, some good may come of this.
Why come to 115 degree heat here when you can stay in Delhi (new or old) and live in 115 degree heat? And without the hassle of having to report your HB-1 status to the State Department every year.
Obviously it’s 112* F in LA with no AC…
it’s Hell on Earth.
You get the government you vote for.
Don’t care
Public appeal for power conservation during times of declared short supply are part the national grid’s procedures. FERC requires it, NERC enforces it.
with all the falsification of #’s during the Plandemic, I sadly no longer trust anything coming out of any gov’t entity anymore, even weather data … it’s all manipulated for political power
since they’ve found out how to easily control us they have become drunk w/ their absolute power
we are nothing more than serfs to them to be beaten, taxed, & told to shut up & like it or be punished, imprisoned or killed in the labor camp … that’s the near future they envision … it’s so close they can taste the adrenochrome

Don’t work well.Inefficient
and $$$ to maintain.Oil,gas,coal
get the job done.I think gas is the cleanest.
They had fairly decent gas scubbers at a coal fired power plant I helped build in SC around 1980.Heck I bet they
got some much better pollution control equip
now a days….
Venezuela is unable to respond because of an electrical shortage.
What is the difference between the Titanic and Los Angeles?
The titanic had its lights on when it went down.
What does Gil Garcetti and the Titanic have in common? They both went down.
Public buildings should be the first to shut down AC’s. Check with the power company to see if the Mayor and council have shut theirs off.
But, we know the answer.
I traveled through Albania during the heat of summer while it was in the high 90s and low 100s. The electricity would go out like clockwork at 1pm and not turn on again until 6pm. On the coast you could jump in the sea, not so much inland.
Billy Fuster – When I was a kid in Greece, they did the same thing. You never knew the time, though and for how long. But it was a guaranteed brown out at least once a day.
Not sure, but I think the city itself runs the power company.
Used to say “what a dump.” Now I say “What a load of Clinton.”
That city is functioning IN SPITE of the idiot in the mayoral position.
But you can be sure Garcetti’s air conditioning is on high 24/7.
This reminds me of Trump’s statement about the press’s questions it put to Biden as being “for a child”.
Garcetti has been acting like a child throughout the Covid problem (and angry, clueless child), then like a child simp during the riots, and now as a clueless grade-school class president during an energy crisis the likes of him created.
…And will the Cali Libs learn anything about “green” energy?
Don’t hold your breath.
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha….
I care so much…
lololololololololololololololo…..
I thought that’s what they’ve been calling for so what’s the problem? Saving the planet in reality isn’t quite what they were expecting or are they having trouble redeeming their carbon credits?
Not a drop of sweat seen on Earaches brow, I would wager…This sort of behavior eventually leads to torches, pitchforks, and other remedies.
As far as I’m concerned, overdue. Constitutional remedies.
1. The “conservative” GOP candidates running for state wide offices this century backed these guys in 2018!
The reasons these guys and the folk before them are in office is that the liberals control the Cal GOP; and have done so for 30 years.
Pete and Arnie ran against the “elite” leaders an won. Arnie in ’04 was the most conservative Gov ever! But he cut the subsidy of “wind farms” 50 %. (Conservative analysis say 50% of “wind faros” would die in a year without subsidy, and 90% in 6 years.) this made the weaker “farms” cut their div. this angered and scarred the rich who had “invested” in them, names: LeBron, “Babs”, “the Boss”, Tom Hanks…
These rich libs were friend of bothArnie and his wife. They put pressure on Maria and Arnie. She joined them and badgered Arnie.
Also in ’04 the Rove/Bush folk said if Arnie would turn to port they would back his run for President. Before you say “Not native born” the 2 top vote getters in ’08 were not “native born”. John Roberts was, and still is Chief Judge!
Except for Pete and Arnie ALL THE CANDIDATES the Cal GOP has put forth since 1988 have been so liberal the Des are more conservative. the “choice” voters have had for 30 years is between a far left, liberal GOP or a “center left” Dem.
2. This is not new! We had electricity rationing 21 years ago! The lib GOP said “Rolling blackouts”! this is 1 of the reasons Arnie won in ’03!
John needs to look in the mirror! Had the GOP run conservatives the last 30years the Dems would never have won! The cause of this problem. AND IT IS A BIG PROBLEM, is the left controls the Cal GOP and fights to keep conservatives off the ballot! I think had Ronny not backed Pete, and been vocal, Petewould never have been Gov. That Arnie was a famous man ; and it was a recall with over 100 names on the ballot, including a dozen GOP, may be the only reason he won.
Voters consistently pick the most conservative, or in the case of Cal, the least liberal.
John is disingenuous for the 2 reasons above!
BTW
As Iv’ve told you 3 or 4 times the last 6 years Pete CRUSHED BROWN! He had 140% of her votes.
The GOP “leaders” lie when they say they “want to elect folk”! the #’s are irrefutable CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES WIN! Leftist candidates – what the GOP has given us (Pete and Arnie were “Rougues”) – lose!
