California’s fossil fuel regulations have caused an energy shortage in the midst of a heatwave. Yesterday, the mayor of Los Angeles advised citizens to turn everything off:
It’s almost 3 p.m. Time to turn off major appliances, set the thermostat to 78 degrees (or use a fan instead), turn off excess lights and unplug any appliances you’re not using.
We need every Californian to help conserve energy. Please do your part. #FlexAlert

Ain’t the end result of progressive energy regulations grand? But the Left can rest easy knowing they have “journalists” on their side to keep pushing their narrative no matter how disastrous the consequences:
The climate crisis is as real as the COVID crisis. Am I right California?

First of all, one fire that’s burned thousands of acres was accidentally man-made:
I can't believe the climate crisis caused a gender reveal party. https://t.co/SdD5Ej7NkK

Maybe first Rather should consider what’s led to many of California’s problems:
The current electrical generation capacity crisis in California is completely man-made and was 100% predictable & preventable. https://t.co/3faLov3rOt

What’s that definition of “insanity” again?
Ever heard of weather and dipsticks who use renewable energy that doesn't work?

California is the only state running out of power due to localized climate change that doesn't effect the rest of us, Dan? #HotTake https://t.co/POn45uvfNX pic.twitter.com/CI8W2MTWEN

Sounds like Rather’s “science” here is NOT settled.
