California prepares for biggest blackout yet

[DB]

Table for Oct 26, 2019 shows 23,339 MWh for wind and 555,019 MWh for total demand, making it 4.2%.  That is for today, which has high winds.

Go back and look at older ones say Sept 18, 2019.
It is 10.5%

@DB

Those numbers change daily. When you posted it it was for October 25, 2019 and for that day it showed 11,419 MWh for wind and 641,681 MWh for total demand, making it 1.77%.

Your "California gets 10% of its power from wind" may happen some days but it is far lower than that on average @IsailedawayfromFR .

You all should just pity the people who just bought the fancy electric cars......

Ok,no promises,but I will try to work on it.

Can I still point at and laugh at the pretentious,trendy bitches? That would help a lot,and not make me feel so hypocritical.

Since purchase of those POSs were subsidized to the tune of up to $7K and they get a variety of perks such as free bridge tolls and free use of pay lanes on freeways, nope, no pity from me.

And that is the entire point.

California brags about getting 10% of its electrical needs from wind but that is more like generation capacity, not actual production.

When it finally gets to its goal of 100% renewable-generated power it will still not be so as there is zero chance that non-renewables will not be needed.

We are in agreement.

Not just capacity, actual Watthours of produced electricity, wind versus total.

Over 11% for all of 2018.

Thanks.  Did not realize that California imports more of its wind-generated power than it actually produces itself.

That has got to be some high priced imports.
