It is also interesting that those very same states that push EV’s also have not upgraded their power systems in quite some time. California is the leader on this list of shame with rolling blackouts and brownouts each summer. They also want to put up more windmills, off shore! Talk about throwing good money after bad and causing those of us with computers that are capable of running linux no end of trouble.

This is pretty funny since those states push power hungry electric vehicles.

Imagine having to stand on the corner looking for law enforcement as you rush to someone’s car window, hand them a GPU, and they slip you some cash. You pat the door of their car and say “be careful bro” before looking up and seeing a cop car round the corner. Snatching up your back pack you jump the fence near by and run as the words “LAPD! Stop!” echo off the walls. You don’t make it far, because your backpack is weighed down with 800 watt power supplies and nvidia graphics cards, plus your pushing 40 years old and work a desk job when you aren’t “slangin pixels” as they now call it. “You thought you were going to get away with this in my town!?” The officer screams into your ear as he pins you to the ground and cuffs you. “No one gets more than 24 FPS in LA!”
