National Blackouts Loom, California Lead The Way As Electricity Prices Are “Absolutely Exploding”
Be Warned!… Common sense tells me that the power outage in Texas, New York City and Calif is a red warning flag of what is to come on a larger scale and must be seen that way. It is inevitable and it is only a matter of time. NATION WIDE PLANDEMIC BLACK-OUT Two inexorable energy trends are underway in California: soaring electricity prices and ever-worsening reliability – and both trends bode ill for the state’s low- and middle-income consumers. You have to make a plan to protect yourself and your family. It is irresponsible not to do so. Because when a massive blackout does hit, you will be entirely on your own. No one will be riding to your rescue. Expect GOD… Last week, the state’s grid operator, the California Independent System Operator, issued a “flex alert” that asked the state’s consumers to reduce

California Blackouts Expose the Total Scam of Solar Panels: They Don’t Work When the Grid Goes Down
Solar panels are largely a scam. And over the last week, thousands of solar panel owners in California are colliding with that sobering reality as they realize solar panels don’t work when the power grid goes down.

And when the grid goes down, your solar panels stop working, too. That’s a far cry from what buyers of solar panels have been promised. “[M]any are learning the hard way the systems won’t keep the lights on during blackouts,” warns Bloomberg News. “…[S]ystems are tied into the grid, and the vast majority aren’t working this week as PG&E Corp. cuts power to much of Northern California to prevent wildfires.” Even when solar panels do work, they’re still largely a scam.
