California Blackouts Have Begun. Thank ‘Green Energy’

A punishing heat wave in California has triggered rolling blackouts and brownouts. But don’t blame climate change. This crisis is largely due to the state electric grid’s overreliance on unreliable green energy in a time of record energy demand.

Rolling blackouts have begun in the state, with thousands of customers having their power shut off. “We’re looking at a lot of records today,” Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center, told Bloomberg earlier this week regarding the heat wave. “They are having a lot of issues with power out there, and this isn’t going to help.”
