Karen Bass Tells Los Angeles Residents to Conserve Power Because CA's Energy Grid Sucks

Amy Curtis | 7:30 PM on August 23, 2025

Earlier, we told you about Governor Gavin Newsom's failed dunk on President Trump over energy prices. While Governor Smarmy is trying to score political points on a national scale, one of the biggest cities in the country has such a terrible energy infrastructure that the mayor is calling on residents to lower their quality of life:

With rising temps, @LADWP is reminding Angelenos to conserve electricity and help prevent strain on our power grid.

Here’s how you can help:

🌡️ Set your A/C to 78°F
🕓 Use big appliances before 4PM or after 9PM.
💡 Turn off lights & electronics when not in use.
🔌 Unplug…

The 'free state of California,' ladies and gentlemen.

LOL. Your city is a dumpster fire 😂

Yes it is.

Speaking of temps, you’re being sued by your former fire chief.

Have fun with that.

Enjoy, Karen!

But hey, at least your governor has s****y memes, right? Enjoy roasting in the heat.

Memes will solve the problem.

Not.

Demanding your residents live like third worlders is a choice.

One the Democrats keep making.

In 2025, Californians were instructed by their government that electricity use was to be curtailed.

2025.
