    They showed. A lady on TV with about a gallon of water. Said all 7 in the house had to share it. Including showers. Lol. I was half asleep, something like that, anyways sounds good. Actually sounds terrible. We’re up here watering lawns, flushing twice just for good luck.

    OK had to look up some stuff after that.......


    Looks like WA and OR are net Exporters of electricity.

    Looks like WY produces only a drop in the bucket of Cali's demand........

    From here: California - State Energy Profile Overview - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
    Quick Facts
    • California was the seventh-largest producer of crude oil among the 50 states in 2019, and, as of January 2020, it ranked third in oil refining capacity. Foreign suppliers, led by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Ecuador, and Colombia, provided more than half of the crude oil refined in California in 2019.
    • California is the largest consumer of both jet fuel and motor gasoline among the 50 states and accounted for 17% of the nation’s jet fuel consumption and 11% of motor gasoline consumption in 2019. The state is the second-largest consumer of all petroleum products combined, accounting for 10% of the U.S. total.
    • In 2018, California's energy consumption was second-highest among the states, but its per capita energy consumption was the fourth-lowest due in part to its mild climate and its energy efficiency programs.
    • In 2019, California was the nation’s top producer of electricity from solar, geothermal, and biomass energy, and the state was second in the nation in conventional hydroelectric power generation.
    • In 2019, California was the fourth-largest electricity producer in the nation, but the state was also the nation’s largest importer of electricity and received about 28% of its electricity supply from generating facilities outside of California, including imports from Mexico.

    Heck About half of the Cali production shortfall can be balanced with over production from the east L.A. Anex also known as AZ.........

    I'm still kinda surprised you are buying a place in that SoCal suburb......

    It's already worth about $30K moar than I paid for it. By the time it's built, should be at least $60K. Maybe I'll just sell it.
