California experienced rolling blackouts in late winter and early spring. Add to their power problems the inadequate snow pack which supplies melt water to generate electricity through the power dams on several rivers. The water is not coming down off the mountains this year in the volume it takes to make the volts it takes to run things. All of this means electric shortages are almost inevitable. Power outages mean business stoppage and that means trouble for an economy already being pushed to what some might assume to be limits of durability.
Computer manufacturers can only turn a profit if their production lines are moving.
Chips and hardware facilities have to depend on volume developed in mass marketing strategies. No power means no production which means no money. The internet was going to be the cash cow of the early 21st century. But something not so funny happened on the way to the bank. Many of the wonder-kind companies have bellied up.
