FILE - In this Sunday, July 12, 2020, file photo, a man lies on the beach amid the coronavirus pandemic in Santa Monica, Calif. California faces a heat wave Friday, Aug. 14, 2020, that could bring dangerously high temperatures throughout the state, along with the threat of wildfires and spreading coronavirus infections as people flock to beaches and recreation areas.
“Extreme heat is really the driver behind this,” said Anne Gonzales, spokeswoman for the power grid operator. The heat wave is expected to last through next week and the power grid operator will decide whether to continue the rolling outages on a day-to-day basis, Gonzales said. Heat records fell in several cities. Downtown San Francisco hit 90 degrees, topping a high for the date of 86 that was set in 1995. Salinas hit 102, 18 degrees above the record set just last year. Palm Springs hit 120, breaking a 2015 record by several degrees.
Carroll encouraged residents to check on family, friends and neighbors, especially older adults and those in frail health, and reminded people to always wear a face mask when in the vicinity of people who don’t share their household.
Thank god I live is Canada
I see this in everyone's future if BidenHarris get elected and enact the Green New Deal. Rolling blackouts are evidence of mismanagement.
So hot yesterday I had to use my meat thermometer.

This is what happens when they don’t want power plants...
God’s wrath on California
Can they people a heads up on when they plan to turn off the power? SDG&E?
GavinNewsom where is the fires budget?
Glad I live in Arkansas.
This is where relying on renewable energy gets you.
Build more nuclear power plants.
If we can’t handle a heat wave how are we going to handle electric cars? I’m all for electric car too!! this is a serious question I have...
So what your saying is that. The state and power companies did nothing in the last 9 years to help alleviate this issue. Way to do your jobs not.
Just an example of a liberal Democrat state and what happens hopefully people will take the queue from that and vote Republican
California has regulated itself into this situation.

why live in that shiz hole?
Remember people to put your thermostat at 78°🥵 or higher so I can have mine at 68° 🥶.
I didn’t think California still had an electrical system. Didn’t they declare bankruptcy?
California is slowly becoming a third world country. Way to go Democrats...
Is it 2001 or 2011?
California run almost entirely by Democrats. In debt from mismanaging funds for years. People can’t leave fast enough.
Blame Trump
Greatest country in the world, maybe at one time not now. Pathetic leadership, no vision for the future. When profit rules everything else falls away.
Fixed it 💁♂️
The new norm in a dying world. Nature has the final say, not humanity.
Utopia
Perhaps closing out last nuclear power plants is a mistake
PG&E. SUCKS.
Damn.
Oh the Enron days ..
A large portion of Southern California is a desert. We have Hell’s Canyon. It’s always hot in the Mojave Desert in August. Histeria over nothing. Maybe the problem is everyone is home running their individual air conditioners instead of being at work.
2001 or 2011? 😀
Can we sell California to pay down our national debt?
Well at the rate people are leaving California, they shouldn't have to worry about it long.
