Crowds Pack Beaches as California Bakes in Labor Day Weekend Heat Wave
“Brutally hot” temperatures drive thousands to CA beaches over the holiday weekend. While this article “should be” about surf conditions, BBQing and volleyball, it focuses on electricity. It reminds us that policy decisions about renewables vs fossil fuels, forestry management and the resilience of the grid impact our daily lives in ways that have not been anticipated.
From the article.....”The California Independent System Operator, which runs the state power grid, issued a “Flex Alert” for 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday through Monday, asking people to conserve power by not using appliances and keeping air conditioners at 78 degrees (25.6 Celsius) or above.
Operators didn't expect a repeat of the rolling blackouts that took place during a mid-August heat wave. But they warned that the system could be strained by unforeseen problems, such as a fire that disrupts a power line.”
We need viable energy solutions that work in the short run while preparing and positioning for the future. See my whitepaper “Finding Opportunity in the Green New Deal” https://lnkd.in/eU5iEWz for a program that utilities could offer built around Net Zero Energy. Thanks Mike
