A major power outage in San Francisco left over 130,000 customers without electricity. This incident serves as yet another stark reminder of the fragility and unreliability of so-called “green” energy policies
San Francisco experienced a significant power outage affecting approximately 130,000 customers, according to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). While the exact cause is still under investigation, this event highlights the growing instability in California’s electrical grid.
California has aggressively pursued “green” energy mandates, rapidly shutting down reliable baseload power sources (natural gas, nuclear, and coal) in favor of intermittent wind and solar. The result is a grid that is increasingly vulnerable to blackouts, especially during peak demand or extreme weather.
Consequences of the Green Energy Scam:
- Higher electricity prices for residents and businesses
- Reduced grid reliability and more frequent outages
- Increased dependence on imported power from other states
- Real human suffering during blackouts (especially for the elderly, those on medical equipment, and low-income families)
This latest outage in one of America’s most progressive cities is a perfect example of what happens when ideology overrides engineering reality. Reliable, dispatchable energy sources are not optional — they are essential for a modern society.
