Over 10,000 PG&E customers are without power in North Concord this evening.
Major outages have also been reported all over Contra Costa County.
Click on the map shown above for a larger view of the outages.

UPDATE: Power has been restored to all but about 2,000 people in the areas listed above.
Dern, I feel sorry for those PG&E men who have to work in this weather.
We pay more than anyone in the US for power and here we are getting screwed again.
We need a service that is non profit monopoly not a corporation with stockholders.
And the climate nazi gang wants to ban gas stoves? My gas stove is the only thing that works in a power outage. Internet, phones, furnace … all dead without electric power! New T-mobile 5G “wireless” phone and internet… only works with the damned wi-fi plugged into electricity. What a joke!
How are we going to charge our Teslas to get to work tomorrow? And if the power is not back on how are we going to work from home on our computers/internet/ lights?
( sarcasm )
Gas stove and a good old kitchen match… and they want to ban that too.
Stay safe everyone!

Claycord is getting a taste of what it feels like to live in a Third World country where brownouts and blackouts are common.

Get used to it because the Dems are hellbent on making everyone equally miserable.

I think the point of 12A is not that the Dems caused the wind, but that many of the Dems in power are trying to ban alternatives to electricity. The Dems are approving massive home building, despite not having an electrical grid that can support the additional housing … And there are many more examples of these types of actions …

But my electric car????
My natural gas service never gets interrupted. I guess that’s why politicians want to force us to be be electric only?
FYI, I saw that as of November 2022, all new construction in Martinez must be all electric and no gas.
I don’t remember reading this anywhere. I’ll bet many other cities are doing this.
The media only covered Berkeley.
Ours came back on at 8:42 pm. Off for about three hours. What a relief when it comes back. All of a sudden there is light.
Wow, I love my solar panels and storage battery. I have no problem with the power outage. Just turn off the hot tub and I have enough power to get me through to tomorrow when the sun will power my house and charge my battery. This is the future, join and embrace it. Stop whining.
All forms of power should be used, just not exclusively. Certainly not forced. Electricity is not without MAJOR outage problems. Plus, allowing the government to own what is installed on your roof, is no guarantee of continuous service. Better start saving for your replacement panels. On the other hand, using the covered parking lots as structures for panels is brilliant. Even I consider this as part of my energy set.
EV cars for the general public is asinine. I can see its use around planned neighborhoods. The mark of American mobility, thus commerce is built around autonomy. Rather, ground the jet set. You know them. That pompous group of celebrities and politicians, self volunteered for privilege … Using OUR money.
We aren’t whining. We are prophetic. Again, exclusive use of electricity guarantees loss of the cornerstone of small business. The American Dream.
It’s hilarious how the compassionate progressives are now also the nose in the air elitists.
It may not have occurred to you, but people living in condos and apartments don’t have the option of huge solar panels and atupid expensive battery arrays. And they probably can’t afford them even if it was an option, which is why they are living in condos and apartments and don’t own their own single family building.
Vote to impoverish people, drive up the price of energy while driving down its reliability, ans then laugh at them when they can’t afford to pay for the costs of producing their own. Modern left in a nutshell.

You’re spot on with your interpretation.
.
Other examples include lax border security, permissive drug use and accommodation, lawlessness, selective enforcement, lax accountability, overspending, taxation, inflation, etc.
When it gets to point systems are economical enough and solar panel efficiency is over 60% and pge isn’t needed, we’ll consider it.
.
Only reason panel efficiency is still low is due to government subsidies and rebate schemes.
Once government got out of space program, private sector gave us economical launch vehicles with boosters that come back and land. Prior to that they’d have to fish ’em out of the ocean.
.
Government is the hindrance to advances in solar.
A pound for a brown. No disrespect to Frank Zappa.
