Threats from drought, extreme heat and wildfires, plus supply chain and regulatory issues hampering the solar industry will create challenges for energy reliability this summer and in the coming years, the officials said. They represented the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Energy Commission, and the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state's energy grid.
State models assume the state will have 1,700 fewer megawatts of power than it needs during the times of highest demand - typically early evening as the sun sets - in the hottest months when air conditioners are in full use.
Next thing needs to happen is disconnect Californiastan from the national power grid at the state line. Let all the greenies and libs try to live with their rules.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone left in California?
ReplyDeleteNone that matter.
DeleteI'm out of California, born and raised there. The gubbenor decided to help illegal aliens over tax paying citizens .Last year he spent over $146 million dollars on them, that doesn't count counties or cities that promote this shitheaded idea.
ReplyDeleteI didn't open the link so I don't know if Diablo Canyon was mentioned.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, that's the purpose of articles such as this; to curry favor among the people for the scary dread nuclear power.
Governor ScrewSome has admitted that Diablo Canyon will have to remain open past the scheduled closing in 2025 that he had hoped for. Otherwise, the lights will go out in California and his dream of becoming Preezy in 2028 will be toast.
DeleteI really don’t think he has presidential ambitions. He’d be a hard sell outside a small handful of states. Although I suppose whatever mechanism they used to have 81 million votes get counted for Biden would work for him too.

DeleteYou just nailed how Gavin Newsom will become pResident, Friend.
"I really don’t think he has presidential ambitions."
You couldn't be more wrong. If you think Barak Obama was a megalomaniac, on his best day he couldn't hold a candle to Gavin Newsom. Gavin is dangerous. He thinks he's the anointed one even more so than Barry O did.
Nothing that 170,000 gasoline generators (and their associated pollution) sprinkled throughout the state won’t solve. If everyone got an electric car overnight, the generation capacity and the distribution capacity could not keep up with the electric demand, and it would take years and cost billions to improve the electric infrastructure to accommodate the demand.
ReplyDeleteCalifornica wouldn't be Californica without at least three statewide emergencies in effect at any single time.
ReplyDeleteFuggem.
‘And they keep pushing electric vehicles’
ReplyDeleteAs absurd as it is, most people don’t even know half of it. I have a close relative in the trucking industry for a large national shipper and what they are trying to do there with class 8s is truly nuts. They are about to start mandating they buy electric Hd trucks that don’t even exist yet.
It's even worse than that. They have banned gas appliances (cookstoves, water heaters, and clothes dryers) in new construction. When your electricity goes out, _everything_ goes out - and if they get their way, you won't even be able to get in your car and drive to somewhere that didn't sabotage their own civilization, because you can't get far enough to reach a working recharger.
