(Reuters) - Demand for power is approaching record levels in California amid soaring temperatures, prompting the state grid operator to step up its calls for consumers to reduce electricity use in the afternoons and evenings to avoid outages.

"We are facing a load forecast of 48,817 megawatts and energy deficits between 2,000 and 4,000 megawatts for Monday, resulting in the highest likelihood of rotating outages we have seen so far this summer," California Independent System Operator (ISO) said in a statement.

California is ignorant and obnoxious. Run by stupid fools and hypocrits.
California needs fossil fuels because the clean energy fools don’t understand that they don’t have the solar, wind or hydro power sources to run their EV’s let alone their homes and businesses. Stupid fools! We have the domestic production of oil and gas to be energy independent but the west coast is run by idiots.
Ignorant renewable fanatics. Use nuclear energy. Safe since Chernobyl. Fukushima did not ********anyone, nor caused any significant harm to anyone's health. Plus the problem is now fixed for every reactor in the world. 11 years without incidents. Time to go big on nuclear, like half the world right now.
