California is experiencing a historic heat wave with San Jose (109 degrees) and Sacramento (116 degrees).
During this heat wave, a Los Angeles TV news anchor tweeted that “power just went out.” The temperature was reportedly 93 degrees, but the power still went out.

YES 👍 or NO 👎
Before the outage, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom asked state residents to curtail electricity.
The governor’s appeal to the people was met with some sarcasm, and some did not feel that the governor was feeling the heat.
The Oil & Gas Workers Association tweeted mockingly, “Get somebody to bring you 5 gallons of the wind turbine.”
The state activated four gas-powered emergency generators following California’s statewide power grid emergency declaration.
Many people thought the response from oil and gas workers was brilliant. Here are some of the reactions:
“Oh my gosh, @ogwausa, you won at Twitter,” one commenter reacted.
“This tweet wins,” another user said.
“That had to be the best reply,” another commenter said. “The media is just as complicit in this disaster perpetuated by the alleged administration[s] in Washington and Sacramento. I wonder if ABC’s backup generators are run on windmills and solar panels?”
“Basic incompetence,” another user wrote. “California has all the resources it needs, they just have to execute smarter. Have [U.S. Rep.] Eric Swalwell [D-Calif.] head over [to] the wind turbine farm, lay down one of his notorious potent vigorous farts, and get those turbines spinning. Problem solved, you’re welcome.”
“This may be my favorite tweet in the history of Twitter,” another said.
“This is my favorite response. Ever,” one person said.
“I think I just fell a little in love with you!!!” another person said.
