Up until this point, this summer has been pretty mild for California (the extra monsoonal rainfall is a blessing, not a curse). One week of hot temps is nothing to be worried about. Early September is typically the hottest time of year for coastal California.

It's called SUMMER! Have you ever gone outside in Delhi in August? Get out of your air conditioned homes, offices and cars and take a walk to Chandni Chowk in mid day summer.

Can't charge your car? This is why we need diverse sources of energy. We can't rely on just one or two because everything fails at one point or another.

Can the electric cars be equipped with solar panels? It won't be enough to keep the car going always but it can do something

[cristobalsostre]

Everything makes the news everything then complain when the winter comes complain complain complain complain be thankful you still alive for those who are still alive

The population in the USA IS THREE TIMES MORE THAN IN 1950. We had electric cars in the early 1900 just food for thought.

*In order to not need A/C do these things.* There is a 2'X2' opening in your ceiling into the roof. Push the panel up and to the side. Drop an attic fan facing down into the room so that when it is on it *blows air into the attic.* _This is a mini whole house fan._ It cools you by causing a light breeze to flow over your skin and forms a heat barrier between the hot roof and your ceiling. There are white roof coatings which prevents your roofing material from deteriorating and reflects the heat of the sun. *Turn off the pilot light in your heater* and get a stove that uses an electric spark to light the stove. Replace rugs with ceramic tile floors and walk around barefoot. You will not need A/C at all.

Make sure you have enough energy to make it through the busy time. It is a model every business strives for, energy companies need to understand this as do restuarants on a busy Sat. night. If energy companies can't perform, fire the officials till you have folks that understand. Saying your sorry to energy hungry customers is not acceptable.

All they have to do is activate the windmills

Get your electric car now, the Pelosis need more money.
