This trend is interesting only if California builds more power plants to provide electricity for all of the electric trucks. Having lived in California for sixty years, and experiencing rolling blackouts on hot days because demand exceeds supply of electricity, more demand on the power grid is not something to celebrate.
Yeah, rolling blackouts haven’t happened. Blackouts happen from time to time, but they’re not caused by load. They’re usually caused by local equipment failure, or stuff like trees falling into the power lines. That’s different than the ISO turning off parts of the grid because there isn’t enough power generation.
This is public record, and you’re repeating a right wing lie. It doesn’t happen. I’ve lived here all my 50+ years of life.
