Isn't one of the responsibilities of the state legislature to ensure adequate power at reasonable rates? To work with utilities to help them achieve those goals?
You would like to think so, but the only goals several state legislatures and utilities are concerned with achieving are the Agenda 2030 goals. The Marxists that work within them to steer this are still under the delusion that they will be 'rewarded' for their loyalty on completion of their mission.
About 10 years ago I was having a conversation with an otherwise intelligent, senior colleague about why I didn't have a phone, as I didn't like the thought of the increasing invasiveness. "Yes, but it's so nice to be able to have the temperature on what I want it when I get home" was her reply.
That's called what normal people do. I know someone who has their thermostat programmed to change 11 yes 11 times a day!! People like that will flock to this retarded program.
Landru: You will be absorbed. Your individuality will merge into the unity of good, and in your submergence into the common being of the body, you will find contentment, fulfillment. You will experience the absolute good.
Does everyone know you can buy DC versions of every food storage appliance and not have to use AC electricity to power them indefinitely? Just have to learn how to make a reliable home powered DC source.
No. I knew those Smart Meters had a purpose. They will track your usage and adjust your Smart thermostat. Whose brilliant idea was it to sponsor this bill? Just another assault on freedoms. So, oops. Utility company adjust thermostat down and elderly customer dies because it was accidentally adjusted to low.
How about you approve the buildingnof new power ststuins. I hear there is a new nuclear energy plant they can build that is small, safe and will.power 50k homes. Maybe the taxpayers should have them built and the energy be free to every household.
Stay tuned for "load shedding," the unavailability of electricity for so many hours a day. This will lead to people buying battery/inverter systems to charge when the power is available, to get them through times of no power. And to people playing the sucker and installing solar cells, which wear out in a few years. Also look into the costs of a motor-generator set. Be advised that if you do not have natural gas service, the better alternative to gasoline or Diesel fuel is liquid propane. Gasoline or Diesel fuel does not store well (forms a shellac-like coating on the tank walls and tubing). Kerosene lanterns are actually pretty good, particularly if you have a cerium-oxide impregnated mantle (lights up brightly). Candles are old hat, but still reliable.
Those who have a fireplace, get a stove insert and find sources of firewood. (Coal is out of style, but works fine. It is also ferociously hot! So, beware.) Also, find how to switch on your central heating air fan independently of the thermostat (if there is any electricity available). The stove will heat up its room to a surprising degree, and the fan can distribute the heat around the house more evenly. Be sure to have enough draft through your stove, so you don't accumulate any carbon monoxide in the house. (People try to keep warm by burning charcoal indoors, but it is a killer.)
If a power outage occurs during winter, and it is below freezing outside, move your refrigerated food out there. Stuff in horizontal freezers might last for a while without such measures.
It's a double-whammy. The state-mandated Green objectives drive the power companies toward wind farms, which are erratic, but the same objectives try to force people into all-electric homes and transportation. I think political resistance movements in the future will consist of tracking down the political advocates of such nonsense and sabotaging their electricity supplies.
On the firewood, my wife's family manages to scavenge enough wood to cook completely free. I was so amazed at how resourceful poor people can be. Cocoanut palm fronds burn fast, but give off so little smoke...
I've got big trees in my back yard. Every so often one had to be "put down" (rotten core) and would produce a large amount of firewood. Lately, not so much. Too many other headaches.
In the Philippines it's more about gathering fallen branches rather than chopping down anything, at least out in the boonies. Works out great! Lots of Cocoanut fronds.

That's seditious. And needs to be dealt h with as such

Who varies their thermostat multiple times a day? I put it on what I am comfortable with and leave it.
That's called what normal people do. I know someone who has their thermostat programmed to change 11 yes 11 times a day!! People like that will flock to this retarded program.
Yup the Booster Bobs for sure.
I can cool my house without central air and a controlled thermostat.
Leftist will flock to this program like lemmings running off a cliff.

how about ban EVs?
How about using the overpriced rate we pay to build more infrastructure instead of new yachts, vacation homes and helicopters.

Never had to do this before. It's the greedof the utility
Yup and it's our fault for letting the politicians run on auto. We have got to start attending town council meetings.
Libya and others have free electricity. The state just feels it's something they should provide...shows you the tyranny of the United States

This is why I bought manual mercury switch thermostats. I figured they were going to be taken off the shelves soon. So I am ready.
