The catastrophic drought in California has forced the state government to shut down one of its largest hydroelectric power plants. The Edward Hyatt Power Plant is California’s second-largest conventional hydroelectric power station. It is located in the Lake Oroville reservoir in Butte County, northern California. The dam is part of a sprawling system that moves water from the […]

Drought could force California power plant to shut down at hottest time of the year
The Edward Hyatt Power Plant in California is at risk of going offline for the first time due to the catastrophic drought gripping the western U.S. The power plant, which is the state’s fourth-largest hydropower producer, depends on Lake Oroville in Northern California to generate electricity. But extreme dry conditions have depleted the water in the lake to “alarming […]

Catastrophic drought puts a strain on California’s hydropower supply
The widespread drought gripping the western U.S. has drastically reduced California’s hydropower supply. With less electricity coming from hydropower dams, the state may be forced to ramp up gas-fired power generation and ask residents to reduce their electricity use. Hydroelectric power is generated by capturing the energy of water falling over dams to produce electricity. When water levels in rivers or reservoirs […]

Rolling blackouts in California show how reliance on solar and wind power can backfire
California issued its first rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years last week as the state’s grid operator tried to keep the power system from complete collapse in the midst of a heat wave, and some are pointing out that the situation demonstrates the failures of green energy. The rolling blackouts affected upwards of 2 million […]

Big shocker: Newsom admits that “green” energy is why California is suffering through blackouts
In a rare admission of guilt and complicity, California Gov. Gavin Newsom now says that so-called “green” energy has failed his state, and is directly responsible for the energy deficit that led to energy providers having to implement rolling blackouts. Relying on solar and wind instead of nuclear and coal has made it so that […]

Why can’t California keep up with its energy needs?
Back in 2001, which is the last time that California faced rolling blackouts for days on end, then-Governor Gray Davis was quickly ousted through a recall. Now, nearly 20 years later, the Golden State is facing the same situation under Gov. Gavin Newsom, which begs the question: Will Californians finally remove this inept tyrant from […]

Insurers tell California citizens to drop dead: Fire coverage yanked from 350,000 residents in response to PG&E power blackouts and ‘fire risk’
Why Americans continue to elect Democrats, whose policies are tyrannical and economically destructive, is a mystery. That is especially the case in California, which is a case study in authoritarianism when one political party possesses a super majority. Recently, California – an arid state despite the fact that it has a large Pacific coastline – […]

California residents have bankrupted their own power company, burning it down faster than any wildfire could have hoped
California power company Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is headed for financial disaster thanks to a growing number of wildfire lawsuits, and the very residents behind these suits could be facing a long summer full of power outages as a result. Created in the mid-1800s, PG&E remains the state’s biggest provider of power and one […]

California utility PG&E will shut off power to millions on high wind days during wildfire season as state’s electric infrastructure accelerates toward collapse
California’s technology industry is booming and as such is attracting hundreds of thousands of people to work in a state that is already crowded. With a population approaching 40 million people, California, which is largely desert in many parts of the state, is struggling to keep its basic infrastructure of power functioning. Now, one of […]
