Haha what’s Seattle going to do in 2030 when 450,000 people plug there cars in after work and turn on the AC.
Extreme weather or years of miss management and waste on expensive and unreliable “green energy”?
I refuse to call global warming climate change so as not to offend the KKKonservatives.
WSJ is so pathetic at this point that they're making up more stories about Musk… LOL. Great journalism, losers.
After researching the history of great assets such as real estate, dividend-paying stocks, gold, oil, and other commodities, Ive come to the conclusion that most excellent assets never come down to the price you want to acquire them at. Simply get the ones you can afford right now.
windmills?
A mass outage across the USA is just a matter of when. The market economy approach to utilities have too little investment for redundancy and resiliency .
but Mayor Pete… how will I charge my EV?
They can’t handle ac use yet want everyone in electric cars! That will work out well!
You forgot to mention the additional strain on the Grid brought by people using e-cars.
Fools don't even have healthcare
We are not ready for anything in this country. Sad
Substation transformers can work at 104F. It’s only if it’s overloaded where the top oil and winding temperature is above it’s rated limits.
Video tille should be effect of global warming on power grid
Yes, let's all start driving EVs during a power shortage
This seems to be a national problem.
We need more EVs guys! Save the planet!
LOL!!!!
This is called "conditioning." They're letting you know their game plan ahead of time
What do you think is going too happen When Everyone has E-Cars we're going too have Blackouts for Months Very Soon Get Ready for not having Power for Months too Years You haven't seen anything yet.
Ah yes blackout's definitely all because of weather and not also cuz of "other reasons"
Nicely explained.
Very unfortunate that California, despite record budget surpluses, has not taken energy security seriously…
