I think #California’s mandatory vaccines list for public school students is around ten entries long. I think charter schools, being publicly funded, have the same requirements. I do not know about private or religious schools.

I believe most or all such requirements would show up on https://www.immunize.org/laws/ [www immunize org].

There are also fields of employment that come with mandatory vaccinations, though I do not know whether those are state, federal, or employer enforced. I do know that one sister’s husband has worked in hospitals and prisons, and in both situations, he had a list of vaccines he had to have (including the most current influenza vaccine each year).

Regardless of whether you support the #COVID-19 vaccines being added to the list, it would not be “unprecedented” in any way.

I was talking to one of my brothers and the subject of the #TX electrical failure came up. I said that we are too smug in #CA, when

(1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
(2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
(3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.

In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened.

@geniusmusing They only restrict consumer-facing uses, while the farm industry continues to use around 90% of #California’s water and industrial uses take 8-9%.

The water industry has known for decades that our estimates of “normal” are based on a particular high-precipitation period, and that desalinization is the only way to sustain the current usage levels and population.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-blackouts-wind-turbines_n_602c4e16c5b62767c0aaa263 #TX blackouts are failures of all energy sources, not just wind and solar.

Article’s point is not supported by data, neither is the pollies’ point.

According to an #NPR broadcast last night, 40% of failed generation capacity was solar and wind and 60% was gas / oil / coal / nuclear ... but renewables are less than 40% of the total capacity. That means renewable sources failed at a higher proportion than other sources.

But either way, *every* generation source had its own failures, and this doesn’t even count the inevitable downed power transmission lines due to ice.

#Texas needs to take this opportunity to focus their attention on making their generation and transmission grid more reliable in every area.

(And frankly, I think #California could also benefit from learning this and responding appropriately, as our homes are also thinly insulated, and Cal-ISO already struggles during high demand days.)

I don't agree that it should be wide open, but it is clear from the differential restrictions and the fact that he leaned into it after the court warned him to ease up that Newsom is a bigot and should be treated as such.
