California: We're Facing an Energy Shortage Due to Our Ban on Building Any New Power Plants. But We've Got a Great Idea: We'll Just Suck the Energy Out of the Batteries of Electric Vehicles During Power Shortages!
They're going to reverse the flow of electricity for car-charging stations to suck energy out of cars to make up for their deliberate crippling of the state's energy production.
Apart from the obvious problem of leeching electricity out of people's cars and leaving them in a low-power state for their morning drive to work, do you see another practical problem? That's right-- people charge their cars overnight. Power demand is the greatest during the day. Power demand drops to very low levels at night. Fewer lights, the AC either off or only being used intermittently, etc. So they'll be sucking power out of electric vehicles when power is not needed. The few who actually are charging during the day are probably doing so at work. So good luck getting home, assholes!It's been said before, California's power grid will have to expand in order to meet the demand for more energy. PG&E's CEO Patricia Poppe has come up with an "unconventional" idea, using electric cars to send excess power back to the grid to prevent blackouts. Bi-directional charging already allows a few electric cars to send energy from their battery to a home. Think of it as a backup home generator. The Ford F-150 Lightning already has that capability and all General Motors electric vehicles are expected to follow. In a recent interview with Good Morning America, GM CEO Mary Barra talked about GM leading the way in the EV industry. "I have tremendous confidence in our brands, the strength of our brands and our customers and the loyalty that we have," said Barra. But PG&E's CEO, Patricia Poppe thinks the technology can go even further by also sending that excess power to the grid, except that, the interconnection is not there yet. "Right now today, there is no technology and no automotive manufacturer whose cars can actually send power beyond the home and up into the grid," said Mark Toney, of Turn (The Utility Reform Network). But that doesn't mean it won't eventually happen, says Kurt Johnson of the Climate Center. "There are 125 plus vehicle-to-grid projects going on globally," revealed Johnson. San Diego has a pilot program with school buses using bi-directional charging that feeds into the grid at the end of the day. "It's a gigantic unharnessed, untapped power source that can be used. Most vehicles are sitting parked, unused 95 percent of the time," added Johnson. Still, PG&E has to come up with a compensation plan for those willing to plug into the grid.How much energy do you really think you can leach out of a the batteries of a few thousand -- or maybe just a few hundred -- electric vehicles? Do you really think that people will drop everything to drive to a bidirectional charging/charge-leaching station when you give them the heads-up that the state is about to experience rolling blackouts and brown-outs? All to offer the public a fake, only-on-paper "plan" that excuses the Democrat leadership for its refusal to build sufficient power generation for the state. And what starts in California ends in Missouri:
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing a new rule limiting CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-fired (coal and natural gas) power plants. As you might expect, given the ideological bent of EPA, the rule is a Trojan horse, the real purpose of which is to induce the nation's coal plants and some natural gas power generation to shut down under the increasing weight of federal regulations. Center of the American Experiment is sounding the alarm on EPA's rule. Our energy team was hired by the State of North Dakota to model the EPA proposal to determine whether it could supply reliable electricity to the 15 states on the MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator) grid. Our team found that the grid implied by the EPA rule, heavily dependent on sporadic wind and solar power, would result in devastating blackouts. They further calculated that if the grid were to be made mostly (but not entirely) immune to blackouts, while still complying with the EPA rule, another $246 billion would have to be spent within the MISO system alone. That public comment is embedded below.The end of civilization does not start with a fanfare of trumpets. It just happens, and the start of the end of civilization is reckoned by future historians, when they attempt to date the Dark Ages. William Otis writes about blue jurisdictions' decisions to make citizens officially-permitted prey species for urban predators, but the left's assault on the foundations of civilization is comprehensive and full-spectrum.
It's often said in conservative circles that decline is a choice. This is seldom better illustrated than in what is on display now in America's largest and most prominent city. The increase in crime is not just "cyclical." It's not because of COVID. It's not because of some murky social factor that academics will try to hype with impenetrable jargon. It's because of specific policy choices New York made with its eyes more-or-less open -- choices that small-time (for the moment) stealing is something we're going to live with because, well, you see, thieves gotta thieve. And we need to be more compassionate..............tolerant........inclusive........Hit the link for the rest. He notes:These numbers defy reality. Conservatively speaking, a petit larceny happens at each of these locations at least once a day; more realistically, the rate is likely closer to hourly. Oddly, this is both shocking news and old news. A Pew Foundation study a few years back showed that property crime is grossly understated in the statistics the press typically trots out. Less than a third even gets reported to the police and less than a fifth gets cleared. Theft victims believe that the police won't be interested, or even if they are will be unable to solve the case, and that they won't be getting their property or purse back one way or the other. But, as Rudy Giuliani knew when he took over as mayor -- and so much of the rest of the country seems now to have forgotten -- the societal effects that start with freebie theft don't stop there:
Since then, petty theft has exploded in New York's Midtown North precinct, where both the Duane Reade and the CVS are located. In 2019, for the first half of the year, Midtown North recorded 979 petit larcenies (generally, shoplifting of minor items). By last year, they had reached 1,161, and this year, they are at 1,331. That's a 36 percent increase over four years, which is alarming enough--but it also far understates the case. For the first half of this year, for example, the NYPD's supposedly handy CompStat map shows exactly one petit larceny at the Duane Reade corner of Broadway, and exactly one at the CVS corner of Broadway a block south, on June 6 and February 3, respectively.You read that right. It's now at the point where toothpaste and deodorant have to be locked up.
[T]he numbers can't show how this shoplifting amnesty has contributed to Midtown West's decline in public safety, public order, and just plain livability over the past few years. Until last year, the northern area of Times Square was home to three competing drugstores. Until early 2020, all three were unremarkable, serviceable locations. They were ubiquitous chain drugstores: a Rite Aid at Eighth Avenue and 50th Street, a decades-old mainstay; the Duane Reade a block east, another longtime fixture; and the CVS, the newest addition, a block south. You went in, grabbed what you wanted off the shelf, whether it be toothpaste or nail clippers, exchanged pleasantries with the clerk while paying, and left. Maybe you just ran in to use the ATM to get cash. Early in the pandemic, going to the Rite Aid, the store closest to me (almost directly underneath my home), stopped being an unremarkable experience. The store started locking everything up. I had to ask the clerk to unlock the deodorant, then the toothpaste. Maybe the store had always had a security guard, and maybe, like most retailers before 2020, it hadn't; I had never noticed either way. Now, there he was, firmly and conspicuously stationed at the sliding doors.
Again, it's not news at this stage that the closure of inner city stores mostly harms (surprise!) inner city residents, namely blacks and other minorities. It's then said, truthfully after a fashion, that blacks are being "underserved" by corporate titans. What gets left unsaid is that they were being served just fine until crime -- and, more importantly, the Left's decision to do nothing about it -- forced businesses to leave.
His presence wasn't enough to deter mass shoplifting. By early 2022, the store, plagued by profit-killing theft, had shuttered. It remains a half-block empty hulk, a vast space outside of which vagrants can panhandle and sleep unmolested by commercial activity. One of its glass doors is now covered by a formidable metal security gate.
As I suggested in the sub-head, the disappearance of the accouterments of civilized life doesn't announce itself at your door. It just happens, one little step at a time.

Part of the issue is that EVs can take quite a long time to charge on a slow-charge, I think.
You can fast-charge them, but even that takes time and probably isn't as safe or as efficient for the vehicle.

Ace, I'm not sure that's their plan. As I read their cockamamie bullshit plan, it would involve EVs hooked up to their OWN charging stations at their homes that would leech out power and send it back to the home. Still the absolute dumbest idea imaginable. But this is CA. It makes my home state of NY look well-run.

The slight problem is that when California needs the energy the most is dusk, when the huge amount of solar in California rapidly turns off.
Hope you didn't want to use your electric vehicle right after sundown.
EV owners will catch on to this pretty quick, and will simply stop connecting their cars right after dusk, so that their batteries won't be drained. The mandates requiring you to plug in your car will follow.

Well, here's some news for ya: insurance companies are having record losses and either shuttering their business in entire states or doubling deductibles to make up for the hemorrhaging. "Insurance" is YOU, dumbass. Your premiums, your deductibles, spread out over time and hundreds of thousands of policies.
And yes, I work for an insurance company. And yes, we're having a horrible year because of supply chain costs and contractors who flood areas of losses with flyers that promise entire new roofs despite minimal damage from hail or some such. First time in 16 years at the company where we've seen costs overwhelm profits. Bidenomics at work.

What Portland has discovered is that when you stop enforcing the laws against shoplifting, it's the stores in poor areas that close - it's harder for the shoplifting gangs to operate in rich areas.
There is now a chunk of low-income East Portland where it is now closest to go supermarket shopping across the county line - shoplifters are still prosecuted in the suburban county, so the stores are still open, unlike in much of East Portland.

I don't know that much about insurance, but it seems that it's based on the premises of risk assessment and risk management. Once risks reach a certain point, then companies may decide that certain businesses are no longer insurable.

Who Is David Weiss?
www.judicialwatch.org/who-is-david-weiss/
On June 20, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware announced a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden....
...David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware. “We want to talk to David Weiss,” said House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan. Weiss ran the five-year probe into Hunter Biden. Weiss’s defenders are quick to note that THE PROSECUTOR WAS A TRUMP APPOINTEE, but that’s only part of the story. Weiss has deep roots in Democrat-dominated Delaware and spent key career years as a top Obama Administration prosecutor in Wilmington.
...Specifically, the letter noted, House GOP leaders “seek to examine whistleblower claims that the Department’s investigation of Hunter Biden was purposely slow-walked and subject to improper and politically motivated interference.” An earlier letter to Weiss from Jordan also sought “documents and information” related to retaliation against one of the IRS whistleblowers.
On June 30, House investigators got the response from Weiss: drop dead.

.. use AirTags
Apple's AirTag uncovers a secret German intelligence agency
She sent a parcel with an AirTag and watched through Apple's Find My system as it was delivered via the Berlin sorting center to a sorting office in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. And then appears at the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Cologne.
So an AirTag addressed to a telecommunications authority based in one part of Germany, ends up in the offices of an intelligence agency based in another part of the country.

There is a company called Swell Energy whose business model is for solar homes with batteries to back sell power to the grid, so it isn't just your BEV being drained For The Cause, but also your household.
Their real business model is just to sell solar panels to homes and businesses, the part about selling it back is just a way to get more consumer buy in.
I proposed to them where an aggregator/sponsor that has the ability to make bids on the five minute energy market so they can compete for the $$$ between 5PM and 9PM when peak usage and minimum direct solar is being generated. That is people can sell off their batteries for The Cause.
(unfortunately, home batteries are rather underpowered so the sell back isn't all that big a deal for the fuss of building out the infrastructure)

@GOPoversight
🚨 STATEMENT ON SPECIAL COUNSEL 🚨
The DOJ is attempting a Biden family coverup.
Moments ago, AG Garland announced he is designating U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss as special counsel for the Biden criminal investigation. This is part of the DOJ’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of our Committee’s mounting evidence of President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling “the brand” for millions of dollars to foreign nationals.
The Justice Department’s misconduct and politicization in the Biden criminal investigation already allowed the statute of limitations to run with respect to egregious felonies committed by Hunter Biden. Justice Department officials refused to follow evidence that could have led to Joe Biden, tipped off the Biden transition team and Hunter Biden’s lawyers about planned interviews and searches, and attempted to sneakily place Hunter Biden on the path to a sweetheart plea deal.
Let’s be clear what today’s move is really about. The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family’s corruption.

Today special counsel appointment is Garland’s next coverup for—and protection of—his boss Biden.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat senators, buried evidence—deemed credible by another U.S. attorney—since early 2020 that Biden is compromised by a $10 million foreign bribe as Vice President.
Then Weiss orchestrated an unprecedented sweetheart deal, included a back-door pardon, for Hunter Biden—which protects President Biden.
When this scandal got exposed by Judge Noreika, we now have today’s special counsel appointment.
Now Garland and Weiss want to move Hunter’s criminal case away from Judge Noreika in Delaware to a more compliant Democrat judge in California or DC.
Obvious coverup.

OK, I just checked and they changed the numbers. Go to

A few weeks ago it said 101'% efficient. I guess they realized how insane that was and changed it to 100%
It gets complicated, but they are claiming the energy sent to tires, and then sent back during braking, makes it more efficient. It is how fools do math. Our government.

Chemical reactions can only change which atoms or electrons are "bonded" to a given atom. The atom remains what it is until acted on by some kind of nuclear reaction. So lithium is always lithium, it's just dancing around with its own electrons in a soup of other atoms and their associated electrons.

Cut off the DOJ $$ immediately and impeach Garland. But other than that - none - every witness, every piece of evidence, is now under DOJ SC control - and that counsel could prosecute anyone that speaks publicly to Congress or the press without their authority under gag orders and obstruction of justice, witness tampering rules.

No, but having the mechanism in place to rob the charge from the few peasants you still allow to own (electric only) vehicles is a key force multiplier in the entire neofeudalistic electric vehicle farce.
Why are we engaging these peoples' policies at face value? Stop pretending this is just misguided gaia-worship. It's not. These people intend to kill a ton of us and enslave the rest, and any mouth noises prior to the killing part are intended as a distraction for the gullible among us.
They need to be called out on the actual effects of their actions and then confronted about their motives.

Even though the Tesla is a pile of dogshit compared to the newer luxury EVs from major manufacturers, and there are many cheaper options, the Tesla still remains the most popular. Why? Because Tesla is the most Hollywood-approved, most conspicuous virtue-signaling EV. That is why people buy them.

The process, known as direct air capture, does not yet exist on a meaningful scale and could be a game changer if it did so economically. A representative of the Texas project said it will scale up to remove 30 million metric tons per year once fully operational. No date was given.
Seems like a couple trillion put into such facilities would get to net zero globally.
seems like corporate welfare! Let the fossil industry continue to sell and burn and the tax payers have invest to remove the f-ing carbon. Meanwhile fossil profit get pumped to shareholders and fund the army of lobbyists!
Horseshit and gunsmoke. This is more kick the can down the road greenwash. The greedy will continue to extract, refine, and profit. Citizens of the first world will not be inconvenienced. Same shit, same flies, racing into climate catastrophe and a dystopian future for our next generations.

You're getting into the weeds with the Cardashians and what-not.
If median income is $50K, and median DC income is 80K, and median TOTAL household income in the U.S. is $70K, it's likely safe to say they're in the top 1% of earners.
Sure we can throw NFL players and Britney Houston or whoever in the mix to screw things up if you want, but double median household income for people working actual jobs still speaks for itself.

Still, PG&E has to come up with a compensation plan for those willing to plug into the grid.
PGandE produces power (actually, they buy a lot of power generated in Arizona and Nevada, but I digress)
PGandE bills consumer for power used
Consumer charges up their EV
PGandE sucks up the ALREADY PURCHASED power from consumer's EV

Availability of charging ports does favor Tesla. But I think the majority of these cars are charged at home and only used for short drives. So I'm not sure how much of a factor that is.
Dealer network greatly favors the competing major manufacturers. Even mass-market brands like VW and Kia/Hyundai have EVs now at lower prices than Tesla.

The problem with the Probe was, the dipshit management at Ford billed it as the Mustang replacement. All that did was piss people off, so not many were sold.

Those 50+ year old childless homeowners are also not buying Civics.
They can afford to cross shop 7 series BMWs and S class Mercedes. Or Corvettes, since they don't have kids.

There are a lot of examples of cars that sold well to exactly the opposite of what they were billed for. The most famous post-2000 example was that the Scion xB box-on-wheels was intended as a practical starter car but sold mostly to retirees.

Median isn’t affected by a few thousand NFL players and 6 Karasheans.
$150k is a slightly above average salary for a white collar worker in high cost of living metro areas. It’s by no means rich and nowhere near 1%.

This battery concept had been discussed at the national labs decades ago. My memory is that it didn’t work out well in models.
The biggest thing here is the state of California requiring two way capability in the vehicles. This is a “taking” in my mind and may be unconstitutional.
Any lawyers have an opinion on that?

The EV owner would probably get a free charging cycle to account for the drain that occurred prior but the recharge cycle count and shortened battery life is the real long term financial damage (besides the immediate hassle of jumping into your car to go somewhere and then discovering that the power company drained it).
Posted by: hatethedeepstate at August 11, 2023 03:27 PM (Yiz1Q)
Seems to me if they thought this would help, they should just have big batteries that charge at night at the power plant, that they can use in the afternoon.
