Again, please show me where in the article that it states that the
reason for rolling blackouts is specifically tied to shutting down coal
plants.

Good lord, man... you're dense.

http://www.marke****ch.com/story/california-moves-quickly-to-block-new-coal-fired-power-plants

No new plants.

Phasing out all remaining coal plants. 40% of LA's power comes from coal. (see above article for "cite")

Original article states the loss of "one" plant will likely cause rolling blackouts. Grid and capacity stretched thin already.

Now introduce new loads on the grid from electric cars... say just 10% of their car registrations. 3.2 million electric cars. 1 out of 10.

Think man, think!

Gotta go cut the grass, then tailgate at the game. Have fun everyone!

I'm sorry, please show me where any of those points to reducing coal
fired plants as the culprit for rolling blackouts... It's because of the
antiquated grid, and of course you anti-technology righties don't want
to even think about fixing it with smart grids.

As soon as he starts the loony "anti-technology wingnuts...etc" he
loses and shouldn't be taken seriously. Nobody is anti-technology,
it's just a talking point, a ridiculous one, like "war on women" or
"hope and change"... LOL!!!

Smart grid controls distribution. We have plenty of distribution, we lack generation.

Smart grid technology works primarily by turning off demand, preventing you from washing clothes or heating water during peak power demands. Smart grid technology doesn't fix the lack of generation, it prevents consumers from overwhelming it.

So, with smart grid, when you plug your electric car in it either won't charge, or your washer/dryer will shut down.

Look it up.

Can your dog show me how decommishoning low output coal fired plants
causes rolling blackouts? Do you realize that if we went to a smart grid
system we wouldn't need nearly the power plants we have now?
