with President Kamala? That's just around the corner IF you screw up and elect Biden! Think about that: a west coast extremely radical socialist calling the shots for YOU! Makes sense......if you're a Dem...
Get ready to dig deep into your pockets, very deep.

You realize that they are trying to dictate people’s thermostats in Cali. You are a big guy. You want your house in coastal SC at 78? You want that type of control over your life?
This is scary

Tigermanac,
I call BS.
A couple of weeks ago, California faced a heat wave which drove energy consumption way up and forced blackouts to tens of thousands in CA - putting them at risk with NO air conditioning.
Governor Newsome convened a number of the experts in the energy field and issued a statement calling for VOLUNTARY adherence to some energy saving measures to try to help prevent more blackouts.
Here are the SUGGESTIONS:
Governor Newsom convenes all-hands meeting with energy advisors and agency heads on service disruptions caused by the heat wave.
Guidance to residents and businesses to conserve power
Yesterday, CAISO issued a statewide Flex Alert calling for voluntary electricity conservation, beginning Sunday and extending through Wednesday. The Flex Alerts are in effect from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day.
CAISO highlighted three simple actions individuals and businesses can take to reduce energy consumption:
Set your thermostat to 78° or higher between 3 and 10 P.M.
Refrain from major appliance use between 3 and 10 P.M.
Turn off unnecessary lights and appliances
Additional steps and guidance for individuals & businesses:
Adjust Your Thermostat
During peak hours or when you’re not home, remember to set your thermostat at 78° or higher. Setting your air conditioner 5° higher can save up to 20 percent on cooling costs.
Pre-cool your home by running air conditioning at 72 degrees in the early part of the day (when it is more efficient) then turn your system to 78 or higher during the hottest part of the day when demand is the highest.
Use smart or programmable features to help maintain energy savings when you’re not home.
Close Windows and Doors
Keep windows and doors closed to prevent the loss of cooled or heated air.
On summer nights, open windows to let cooler air in when safe. In the morning before the day starts to heat up, close windows and blinds to keep warm air out.
Tilt blinds up and close drapes and shades on windows that receive direct sunlight.
Smart Energy Use
Turn off unnecessary lighting and use task or desktop lamps with LEDs instead of overhead lights.
Enable “power management” on all computers and turn off when not in use.
Unplug phone charges, power strips (those without a switch) and other equipment when not in use. Taken together, these small items can use as much power as your refrigerator.
Access and Functional Needs
Check in on neighbors, friends and family who may be at risk.
Charge medical devices in off hours and have back up plan for if the power goes out.
In addition to traditional community support channels, individuals with access and functional needs should reach out to local government for assistance.
Contact local utilities companies if you are dependent on power for assistive devices.
Major Appliance Use
Postpone using major appliances like the oven, dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer until cooler times of the day to avoid heating up your home.
Run your dishwasher and clothes washer only when full. Wait until after 9 p.m. to use these and other major appliances.
When possible, wash clothes in cold water. About 90 percent of the energy used in a clothes washer goes to water heating.
Clean or Replace Your Filters
A dirty filter forces your air conditioner and furnace to work harder, wasting money, using more energy or natural gas.
Adjust Your Water Heater
Turn your water heater down to 120° or the “normal” setting. Water heating accounts for about 13 percent of home energy costs.
Conservation Programs
Consider participating in your utility’s demand response program. These voluntary programs are short, temporary measures to reduce energy consumption when power supplies are critically low and a Flex Alert has been issued. Contact your local electric utility to learn about your utility’s program and incentives they may offer to participate.

Thx Tobias. The Pubs twist things like this all the time. They don’t let little things like facts and truth get in the way

This is scary. 48% payroll tax is something you are down with paying?

Tigermanac,
Not ALL liberals promote the same policies. UP above in this thread, you attempted to conflate CA Governor Newsome's voluntary suggestions to Kamala Harris's policies. Now you are trying to conflate some off-the-wall claims about Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposals onto Harris.
Have YOU been grossly misled or are you trying to grossly mislead other people.
Conservative Americans and liberal Americans have some real differences in perspective and policy, but they are not nearly as wide as some people would have us believe. Can we not work together to discover the actual facts about our situation first ? Then we can discuss the realistic way forward and look for common ground.

You didn't call her a W or B. You called her POTUS.
I'm sure that won't last long though.

Miura,
I would much prefer President Harris over President Trump.
By what yardstick are you labeling her an extremely radical socialist. Most knowledgeable political observers would put here slightly left of center.
BTW, can you define socialism for me. Some conservatives scream about it all of the time but don't seem to know what it actually means.
