No Thrax, you are wrong! Why would we need to upgrade? I know the population is growing and I know that business is expanding and there are hundreds of new homes being built everyday and we can expect this trend to continue for years and years BUT we should just keep cutting back on our electrical usage until we can barely complete our day to day tasks, then we can think about upgrading.

| I remember last time CA had mass blackouts all our news stations would say "In Texas, that wouldn't happen...we have great power grids...blah blah blah". Next thing you know we're having small rolling blackouts a couple years later in Austin and SA. |

they shouldn't even make thermostats that go up to 90! they should range from 40-70 degrees! don't you people see! conserving energy just means al qaeda wins! :whip: |

Why the hell should I conserve if I am the one paying the bill? I would rather pay out money than be uncomfortable. Next thing you know cars will come with a fuel capacity of 5 gallons since there is a "gas shortage" and we need to conserve fuel.
By the way, its 3:43 am and my AC is blowing and the temp in my house is a cool 60 degrees according to my thermostat. Edison must love me... |

Yesterday, July 24th, The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) declared a Stage 2 Electrical System Emergency due to high temperatures, high electrical loads, and forecasted deficiencies in operating reserves across the CAISO control area.
At that time, the ISO has declared that Operating Reserves were currently, or forecast to be, less than 5%. If Operating Reserves deplete further, The CAISO will be curtailing Voluntary Interruptible Loads.
If Operating Reserves fall below 1.5%, the ISO will declare a Stage 3
Electrical System Emergency and may begin rolling blackouts.
County Of Los Angeles employees are asked to conserve wherever
possible. Further alert notifications will be sent to County employees upon Stage Alerts called by the State.
