Dear SF Bay Area:
I beg of you, please don’t run all your appliances at once today. If you’ve got the A/C on, DON’T DO LAUNDRY.
The power grid cannot handle the cumulative effects of all this, esp since it no longer cools off at night.
Two weeks ago on Sunday when we lost power it wasn’t even particularly hot, but everyone had done their normal Sunday shit and surprise, PG&E meltdown. I overheard neighbors talking: “At least I got my laundry done!” Great. Yup. Good for you. That meant 12 hours of misery and the loss of everything perishable in the fridge for thousands of us, but hey, good for you and your fucking laundry. 🤨
