LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Friday, 23-Apr-2021 21:57:02 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} I was talking to one of my brothers and the subject of the #TX electrical failure came up. I said that we are too smug in #CA, when
(1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
(2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
(3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.
In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened. -

The water industry has known for decades that our estimates of “normal” are based on a particular high-precipitation period, and that desalinization is the only way to sustain the current usage levels and population.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

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.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

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.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

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.
