Another issue is the fire hazard of massive battery storage facilities, to store the excess power generated during the day. The recent fire at Moss Point may now be out, but the ecological destruction of all the heavy metals etc spread far and wide there will persist for long after the flames and smoke. Please let us know where these facilities are locally, so as to warn anyone foolish enough to spend millions on a nearby home. You realtors ought to add this concern to the due diligence list, when you let potential buyers know about nearby potential hazards. And don’t forget to warn them that the nice little park on the back property line is slated to become a housing nightmare, which will make bad street parking impossible, to say nothing of neighborhood congestion.
Reagan’s famous comment on the most dangerous words in the English language still apply - we’re from the government and we have come to help you
"We're from the government and we have come to help you."
I could say the same thing to you Dr. Paul, about the last two months. The stock market is suffering the biggest losses in years, the Trump tariffs of April 2, will rock the economy and we want to make Canada the 51st state, while annexing Greenland. Both countries say no way. This is from Trump, the government. . . .
Dan- How would you address the $36,000,000,000,000 debt? If not DOGE, what?
No pain, no gain. We ‘suffer’ along with our children who are stuck with the mess we made. Were we focused on government in the sixties and the many entitlements of LBJ’s ‘Great Society’, or thereafter on self-serving politicians, or the end of silver backed dollars, or …? The list is long. We over spent. Now what?
Sweet Mustard Loving Jesus...what are you talking about? WHO DO YOU THINK created that huge debt? BenedictDonald is responsible for a good 25% of it all on his own over 4 short years. DOGE (DOGGIE) is ruining this country with massive firings of people that we can't AFFORD TO FIRE...duh! Who the hell needs employees to watch over our nuclear arsenal and we have far too many AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL workers. Have you bothered to even look up all the lies DOGE has told about their "corruption and abuse" cuts? My favorite is when they claimed to have saved over 8 BILLION dollars in one agency when it turned out to be 8 MILLION. That's just one of their many sorry lies. How can you support a lawless administration that uses the Constitution for toilet paper? An administration that lies at 150 miles per hour.
Next yer gonna tell me that our government let a journalist into our WAR PLANS against the Houthis. Oh wait...they did that already.
It’s refreshing to hear from someone who knows what they are actually seeing and hearing from this administration, and not letting themselves be bamboozled by all the obfuscation*.
How strange that you really cannot see the true disease going through this country.
What you are so blind to is the TTDS…. Total Trump Devotion Syndrome. The spineless cowards who belong to the MAGAT cult party are so fucking blind… It’s almost as if they looked directly at the sun during a total eclipse….
The last 4 years of a decent government? A president who didn't lie for a hobby? Someone who worked for the working class and put the middle class before the billionaire Nazi class? Someone who didn't do TesleR commercials from the White House lawn who wanted to jail anybody who dared boycott or say anything derogatory about Elon's EVs that trump once told us that he HATED and now suddenly he LOVES after VP Elonia gave the asshole nearly a quarter billion dollar to BUY the presidency. The Mango Mussolini stole top secret documents and SHARED them with FOREIGNERS and yer good with that???
Look...it wasn't our guy who told the nation that the Haitians are eating the dogs and the cats and the geese of the people who live THERE. It wasn't our guy who labeled women without children, "sociopaths" and "deranged childless cat ladies who deserve less than a full vote" and whatever other STUPID remark that came out of JP Mandel's butt hole. Our guys didn't talk about "GROWsirEEEEz" like it was a brand new word that is just SO COOL or told us those who broke into our Capitol to .... were VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE. WTF?!!
At least Joe ran a government that didn't bow down to trump's lover Putin and it wasn't us who wrote love letters back and forth with Kim Jong Un. We never suggested DISINFECTANT INJECTIONS could cure COVID nor did our guys ever give a blowjob to a microphone on national TV after ranting on and on about Arnold Palmer's massive penis size. We didn't call our brave dead vets, Suckers and Losers....your Head MAGAT did that. Tell me if you want more or has your little brain been filled up already? Oh...and have a great evening.
Absolutely and a little know fact is that all of these cell towers sprinkled about have huge battery backups within. A match in every neighborhood, as if electric cars and bikes were not enough.
Andy. Thank you for this very thorough explanation of 3CE. A very smart friend of mine tried to explain this to me over a year ago, encouraging us to opt out. The concept is so legitimately tangled and stupid that for the life of me I could not understand what on earth she was talking about. More importantly, I couldn’t understand, like most things that happen locally and in California, WHY and HOW they can get away with such things. DOGE can’t get to CA soon enough.
Typical boondoggle…California style! It is amazing how the “Green Mafia” has been feeding us the taxpayers, a steady load of compost. Yes, the old bait and switch. Promise one thing and deliver something totally different. All along while patting us on the head and telling us nothing to see here. Wait, I thought the Lefties wanted EV’s? Oh that’s right, as long as the name Musk doesn’t appear anywhere. I say this after witnessing the “Green Mafia” having a circuit overload yesterday in front of the Tesla dealership!
As for Das, well what can I say? Dude is like a cat that keeps landing on his feet. Sure beats living in his van! Let’s see, he totally screws the pooch (and taking the cash) on mega Marijuana farms creating such a stench he had to leave office. Now, he’s taken his con job to a new level by selling us something we already had at a fraction of the public subsidy… what a guy!
In the meantime, the Green Mafia has doubled down on screwing with oil and gas. The latest is the California Coastal Commission coming down hard on Sable to the tune of $15 million for repairing their own pipeline! I use the term “Mafia” because this is how old school organized crime extorts money from businesses.
Still further, the Green Mafia has quietly placed “Bess” batteries plants in our communities without seemingly much public discussion. Never mind the potential fire hazards. Wonder how that is working out in Monterey County? BTW, one is planned for Nipomo. All this while pulling the plug on “Peaker” natural gas substations.
Yes there’s more, Newsom had to do an about face on closing Diablo. I guess the dumb ass realized he couldn’t mothball the facility and keep the lights on by doing so. Can one imagine how much better off we’d be if San Onofre was allowed to continue to produce energy?
Any way you slice it, we will continue to subsidize the Green Mafia and their corrupt cronies. If the State of California is efficient in Energy Management as they are in keeping us safe from burning down, we are totally screwed!
Say "green" and our elected officials instantly genuflect. No further discussion needed nor allowed. Their own "term limits" lets them kick accountability for failed decisions on to someone else.
Great article, Andy. It's all about politicians getting their hands on one of the many money buckets created for them. Das sure did well for himself, he should receive a gold star to place on his forehead. Was that a last-minute work title Das conveniently fell into? It's fascinating how much money a brainless twit politician can steal from the taxpayers.
Hi Howard, My access to X-link has been blocked for over a week and I can't access your references! Why can't I access X-link, can you say F-B-I ... they are trying to silence me. I've been making too many FBI references on X.
Reposting: Green Scheme Opt Out - Thank you, Andy.
".....If you are one of the customers of 3CE, you can opt-out by calling 1-877-455-2223 and giving them your account information. For City of Santa Barbara residents, the phone number to opt out is (805) 897-1979......"
The day 3CE took over, I called Edison to find out the real story. The rep told me the main thrust of this new consortium was to break the back of nuclear power. At the time, I paid more to retain Edison. Not the case now. Even if it were, I want nothing to do with this Global Warming farce.
“Green new scam” is the perfect job for the supervisor who helped make Carpinteria a skunk smelling hub for large scale pot growing. At least one parasite was removed from the Board of Supervisors.
The host-parasite relationship story reminds me of the time a man presented me with the fish tapeworm that had terrified him in his bathroom one day. He had failed to adequately cook his farm raised salmon, purchased at a popular local market. My attempts to warn the local populace were blown off by the local public health establishment. The Noozhawk ran the story back then, calling it “click bait”. Apologies to the faint of heart on the graphic nature of this story. The moral is that whenever you are dealing with local public servants, or contemplating sushi, caveat emptor!
I read this very interesting article titled "Parasites Don’t Exist Without a Compliant Host and That’s You!" by Andy Caldwell and I proposed another equally "Disturbing" Title
"Predators among us in CALI and Santa Barbara" and I quote from Mr. Caldwell's core issue>
"Central Coast immunity Energy, also known as 3CE, is the largest of these local energy parasites" AND "Das Williams’ Payday is Secured" AND "former Santa Barbara County Supervisor Das Williams – who advocated for all this while in office – after having lost his reelection bid, landed safely in a pile of cash as he is now Senior Advisor of Policy and Legislative Affairs for Central Coast Community Energy, also known as 3CE, at an annual salary of $270,000."
Predators always GO FOR THE MONEY and as I said before FOLLOW THE MONEY and get some
very good forensic Accountants and DOGE AUDIT the SB PREDATORS. You need to carefully examine the top 100 Paid SB Employees, including their contractors, to determine if they were Politically appointed and if they have any experience to perform their High Paid Position like $270,000 for DAS WILLIAMS. Theres are alot of Predator Sharks in the CALI and SB Fish Tank just don't get EATEN ALIVE BY THESE LOVELY PREDATORS!
Allow Predators to spread and this is what you get>
This article is about parasites. Das, getting his salary (and benefits) from government is a parasite. Andy gets his money, I presume, from a private enterprise which people pay him voluntarily. BIG difference.
PS Yes, there are beneficial parasites but much government has become malignant.
I find my PG&E bill quite confusing. Often or always there are credits that make no sense. They are significant and probably meant to lull me into a zone of comfort. I expect someday the kickbacks will disappear. Looking at my recent bill, I am in the lowest usage tier and the cost per kwh is about $0.40
Andy, thank you for this on yet another green scam. I guess the money is green for Das. To clarify, if I am a SB resident and a SCE customer then I am automatically a 3CE customer? So what happens if I opt out? Will it affect my service or bill? Will it affect how SCE sources electricity? I am confused as to what the opt out means or does.
Your service will not change in anyway. We opted out on day one and nothing changed other than we don’t pay as much as people who have opted in. They did it in a very sneaky way by automatically placing you on it. Of course this insured a lot of initial money Which they are now using to keep the doors open.
The city of Santa Barbara made this choice for you, in their surfeit of chronic virtue-signaling. Rather than letting you opt-in into this green scheme; they forced you to opt-out.
Andy, where did you find D(umb)as’s salary? I’ve tried to find the compensation of the board members online. It should be available for a public company, no? Our hereditary career politician Laura Capps just voted herself a 56% raise and sits on the board of 3CE. How much is she paid for that?
Mr. Caldwel, I am not on topic but that’s OK, It doesn’t bother me. Many of you, I’m sure have seen the ads starring dog killer kristi noem. Did you know these ads were trumps bright idea? It has a $200 million budget and he personally asked her to star in them. What is the reason for these ads? I say ads because that’s what they are. They are not PSAs, this is ego stroking for trump.
What was the reason for noem going to San Salvador to stand in front of cages, holding men who may or may not be guilty of breaking any laws. Just for a photo op? Do they think gnome looks like a pillar of law and order? In full make up, and a fresh blow out? She looks so tough. I’ll bet it cost a pretty penny for a round-trip ticket.
Another issue is the fire hazard of massive battery storage facilities, to store the excess power generated during the day. The recent fire at Moss Point may now be out, but the ecological destruction of all the heavy metals etc spread far and wide there will persist for long after the flames and smoke. Please let us know where these facilities are locally, so as to warn anyone foolish enough to spend millions on a nearby home. You realtors ought to add this concern to the due diligence list, when you let potential buyers know about nearby potential hazards. And don’t forget to warn them that the nice little park on the back property line is slated to become a housing nightmare, which will make bad street parking impossible, to say nothing of neighborhood congestion.

Thank you for your very truthful sensible statement. Anyone Who can’t understand this has been taken in by the trump administration obfuscation.
You should repeat your comment and this time make sense.
Absolutely and a little know fact is that all of these cell towers sprinkled about have huge battery backups within. A match in every neighborhood, as if electric cars and bikes were not enough.
I opted out Day One. Stop feeding the Pig.

You are correct.
Das Williams is a parasite and always has been.
So many people were stupid enough to vote for him and now he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Cheers
