But such is life in the Golden State [/quote] I guess they should have bought solar panels or a generator. Especially, since CA is known to have outages frequently. My brother in-law has solar panels on his house in Stockton which are connected to the grid but if the power fails there is no power to the house from the panels. Too bad, so sad. LOL. [/quote]

Everybody knows that electric cars are going to save the planet from climate change or something. Unlike regular cars, which run on gasoline and make all the polar bears cry as they sink into the sea, electric cars are powered by... um... magic? Mjölnir, the hammer of Thor? That must be how it works, or else owning an electric car would impose some sort of cost to the environment. And that can't be, or those guys wouldn't be so insufferably smug.
You know those intentional blackouts they're having in California to reduce the risk of wildfires? Well, guess what happens now?
