I understand when Texas has a once in a century freeze and has a temporary energy crisis, it is because republicans are stupid and bad. Totally understood.

That being said can somebody explain to me why California is still restricting electricity use because it gets hot in the summer? It cannot be because democrats are stupid, because they are the opposite of republicans. Right? Please help a dumb Republican voter understand the nuance here.

Probably because the lights stayed on in California and 200+ people didn't freeze to death in their homes.

Cali also has a private energy system so it has all the same problems as Texas.

this, the private companies have lobbyists to make their companies money instead of higher regulations

Pacific Gas & Electric Company of California started the fire a couple years ago

Some More News did an episode on how messed up private utilities are this week. Used Cali and Texas as example states on the opposite end of the spectrum.
