https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-blackouts-wind-turbines_n_602c4e16c5b62767c0aaa263 #TX blackouts are failures of all energy sources, not just wind and solar.
Article’s point is not supported by data, neither is the pollies’ point.
According to an #NPR broadcast last night, 40% of failed generation capacity was solar and wind and 60% was gas / oil / coal / nuclear ... but renewables are less than 40% of the total capacity. That means renewable sources failed at a higher proportion than other sources.
But either way, *every* generation source had its own failures, and this doesn’t even count the inevitable downed power transmission lines due to ice.
#Texas needs to take this opportunity to focus their attention on making their generation and transmission grid more reliable in every area.
(And frankly, I think #California could also benefit from learning this and responding appropriately, as our homes are also thinly insulated, and Cal-ISO already struggles during high demand days.)

#SCOTUS rules that #California's Governor Gavin Newsom cannot enforce bans on religious gatherings that don't also apply to other public gatherings. https://nu.federati.net/url/279730 [www latimes com]
I don't agree that it should be wide open, but it is clear from the differential restrictions and the fact that he leaned into it after the court warned him to ease up that Newsom is a bigot and should be treated as such.

San Quentin State Prison fined for deadly #COVID-19 conditions that lead to 29 deaths
The bad thing about fines for state agencies is that they'll just take it out of taxpayers' wallets. Perhaps #Cal-OSHA lacks the ability to pursue criminal penalties, but #Cal-DOJ doesn't.

#NOAA / #NWS has issued Winter storm advisories for the Greater #Los_Angeles area. Expecting snow and heavy rains in the mountains (primarily the seaward side), rains and runoff in the foothills and valleys. Gusty winds expected across #SoCal, so possible power outages as well.
Areas in and below the scars of recent wildfires should prepare for potential mudflows.
Parts of #California are expected to receive and atmospheric river of cold precipitation over the next few days.
Most of the state was in drought conditions,

A few drops of rain is an adequate description. There wasn’t even enough to solidly cover the concrete patio in the back yard.
Yes, most of #California, including #SoCal, is in a drought again, according to NOAA. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Drought/

So apparently, #California's current #COVID-19 restrictions include a curfew at 22:00 every night. Last night, #lazyNephew was heading out to go through a fast food drive through at 21:30, when my mom and sister reminded him about it. I didn't even know.
I mean, I read Gov Newsom's announcement, but I was distracted.

Yes, #California government is mostly accelerating, going the wrong way, but I can't help but feel this person is exaggerating.
Perhaps this sort of overstatement is necessary to get National Review to pick up your article.

The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 116F sometime around the early 2000s. But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there.

I got a chuckle out of seeing people asking where Belarus is. I attended California public schools. At that time, CA schools were 47th out of the 50 states. As a result, in times like this, I expect everyone who did not live in Mississippi to have received a better education than I did.

"Some patterns have emerged. Large metropolitan centers such as Los Angeles and San Francisco appear to be the hardest hit. Men more than women are likely to die from COVID-19, and the elderly fare the worst. More than 8,000 people have died in California." -- #California #coronavirus obituaries https://www.latimes.com/projects/coronavirus-lives-lost-in-california/ [www latimes com]
