Yessir, electric cars are our future

OROVILLE (CBS13) — Due to falling levels at Lake Oroville, one of California’s largest reservoirs, a hydroelectric power plant that can serve up to 800,000 homes has been taken offline as extreme drought conditions continue to impact the state. 

This is the first time the power plant has been taken offline due to a drought. Karla Nemeth, the director of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), made the announcement in a statement Thursday, which read in part:

    Interesting. Oroville was in danger of breaking, too much water having destroyed the main spillway, and damaging the emergency spillway in 2017.

    Sounds to me like typical government management, i.e., crap.

    The western Colorado R. and the reservoirs it feeds are so low they're drawing down Blue Mesa Res., up by Gunnison.
    More trickle-down misery from democrats who don't know how to run anything right.

    Don't charge your EV's AND you are forbidden to buy Internal Combustion vehicles anymore!

    So strap on your (made in China) shoes and get walking.

    Makes sense to me. Newsom had ordered the dams to continue releasing extra water since 2019. The news articles are all gone, but the data is still there. This is a man made super drought. It's all part of the plandemic.

    Spose China is behind all those irresponsible radical environmental rules leading to financial ruin of a major competitor?

    Fun Fact #1: In 2019, the reservoirs were all at record levels and in March of 2019 the snowpack was at 150% of historical averages.
    Fun Fact #2: The California Water Project was designed to get the state through 5 years of below normal precipitation without so much as breaking a sweat.

    Fast forward to August 5, 2001 and Lake Oroville, keystone reservoir of the California Water Project, is at a historical low, with three months until rains return to NorCal.

    Good going, Democrats!
