Millions of Californians may have just suffered an unprecedented, induced blackout by the state's largest (and bankrupt) utility, PG&E, just so it isn't blamed for starting even more fires causing it to go even more bankrupt... but at least the price of gas is soaring.
According to Fox5NY, citing figures from AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Los Angeles County was $4.25 on Wednesday, 4.5 cents higher than one week ago, 57.6 cents more than one month ago and 37.1 cents greater than one year ago. It has also risen 86.4 cents since the start of the year. What is more troubling is that as California gas prices reached the highest level in the state since 2015, some Los Angeles area gas stations are charging more than $5 a gallon.
The gas price spike started last month after Saudi Arabia oil production facilities were attacked, and accelerated after three Los Angeles-area refineries slowed or halted production due to maintenance issues and no imported gasoline was available to make up for the shortfall, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

Before it's too late, replace the solar panels with Wind Turbines!
I wonder.... Is that why Jane Fonda moved to D.C.? Just because of access to the media when the electricity goes out?
The “green” liberals have outsmarted themselves.
Go figure!!!
can gas be pumped without power?
those pesky "maintenance issues" seem to come at the most inopportune times
These windmills and solar panels have parts that require plenty of environment damage to obtain. Is it worth their lifespan. I think not.
I told you people but know, you know ever thing about nothing don't you... I told you, these people and companies don't care about you, you are only money, a number to them.... Wake the hell up... It cost thousands for self reliant solar, the crap they push you people is the let me rent you roof for solar and we will give you a lower power bill bull crap... They only work when there is electricity go figure... If the grid is down and the meter can't detect it, your solar won't work... They also didn't have main line cut off switches to stop it from energizing the grid while it was being worked on when it went down... Not to mention all of the ones I talked to, doesn't sell storage cells or let you hook one up... Think on that, when your feel good ads sleeps tonight thinking these people give a damn about you...
6:07 yes gas car be pumped without power.All that is needed is a standard fuel oil pump like the ones used on trucks that fuel up construction equipment.Of course it won't come thru the electric pump,it would have to be pumped out of the same hole used for filling the under ground tanks.
And guess what else? They don't work at night either. The batteries do, idiots.
