A Potemkin State

We have some very real problems in Cali-unicornia:

A plan by California’s biggest utility to cut power on high-wind days during the onrushing wildfire season could plunge millions of residents into darkness. And the vast majority isn’t ready.

The plan by PG&E Corp. comes after the bankrupt utility said a transmission line that snapped in windy weather probably started last year’s Camp Fire, the deadliest in state history. While the plan may end one problem, it creates another as Californians seek ways to deal with what some fear could be days and days of blackouts…

"I’m worried," Newsom said Thursday during a budget briefing in Sacramento. "We’re all worried about it for the elderly. We’re worried about it because we could see people’s power shut off not for a day or two but potentially a week."

Our governmental officials like to tout that we're the world's 5th (or so) largest economy, and that may be so, but we're getting more and more like a Third World country.

You know, there are places in the country with extreme weather where the power doesn't go out.  Just sayin'.
