POWER GRAB: GREEN FANATICS CUT JUICE, CALL IT 'FIRE SAFETY'

Noozhawk’s recent piece by Bill Macfadyen on California’s wildfire 'strategy' hit the nail on the head regarding the state's brilliant plan: cross your fingers and then cut off everyone's power. He points out the absurdity of turning us into a third-world country every time a stiff breeze blows, all in the name of 'safety.' What he, and frankly, most mainstream media outlets miss, is that these rolling blackouts aren't just about preventing sparks; they're a feature, not a bug, of the progressive green agenda.

See, when the state's unelected energy bureaucrats and their environmentalist pals decide to hobble our reliable energy grid with intermittent solar panels and wind turbines, they need a convenient scapegoat for the inevitable failures. What better way to 'prove' the grid is 'dangerous' and needs 'modernization' (read: more taxpayer-funded green boondoggles) than by intentionally cutting off power? It’s a cynical shell game where they blame the very infrastructure they refuse to maintain and then 'fix' it by making it even less reliable.

Meanwhile, while they're busy plunging productive citizens into darkness, our state's leadership continues to ignore the real solutions: sensible forest management, clearing brush, and actual, responsible land use that doesn't treat every acre as an untouchable sacred grove. But no, that would involve work, common sense, and less virtue signaling. It's far easier to just flip a switch, blame climate change, and demand more subsidies for their pet projects.

So next time the lights go out, don't just blame a gust of wind. Remember who's holding the plug and what they’re really trying to achieve. It’s not just about stopping fires; it’s about control, and ensuring that reliable, affordable energy becomes a distant memory for the average Californian, all while the state’s elite jet-setters continue to live high on the hog. Macfadyen got close, but The Whipping Post knows the full, inconvenient truth.
