How about blackouts and water shortages?<\/p>\n<p>Say what?<\/p>\n<p>Yep, thanks to the moonbats in Sacramento, the state capital, California does not have sufficient power generation capacity to take care of their needs. I think they import something like 20% or more of their electricity from other states, like Nevada. If California leaves the United States, that power gets turned off. All the windmills and solar panels on Earth won\u2019t solve those power issues. I&#8217;m sure that Silicon Valley will be real thrilled with having to power down their data centers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22259\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming-242x300.jpg?resize=242%2C300\" alt=\"seen-coming\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?resize=242%2C300&amp;ssl=1 242w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then there is water.
