you ask, California is a leader in clean energy or a cautionary tale. Power outages in August prompted stern critiques from Republicans. “In California”, Donald Trump tweeted, “Democrats have intentionally implemented rolling blackouts—forcing Americans in the dark.” In addition to provoking outrage and derision, however, the episode is also likely to inspire investment.
August’s blackouts have many causes, including poor planning, an unexpected lack of capacity and sweltering heat in not just California but nearby states from which it sometimes imports power. Long before the outages, however, electricity operators were anxious about capacity. California’s solar panels become less useful in the evening, when demand peaks. In November state regulators mandated that utilities procure an additional 3.
Those electric cars have to be part of the storage solution.
But they can't keep the electricity switched on!
“unexpected lack of capacity and sweltering heat in not just California but nearby states from which it sometimes imports power.”
When can we say that Cali is the nation's model of how we need to deal with the future? Water, fires, energy, cancer, economy, population, regulation, environment, education,and health care. We need to fix a lot in our country, but Cali seems to be taking the lead. California
That pic is basically NV lol
And we have rolling blackouts. Welcome to your future.
Ivanpah Power Station. Almost 400 MW.
B-b-but renewables...
We need more Tesla solar panels and Tesla walls for California families.
Someday all countries will come to this
Result of Dem Gov mandates is no electricity & no power for electric cars, return to cave man lifestyle
And yet they can't keep their lights on! Power cuts are now a regular feature of life in CA.
A layman asking a question ...what happens all the fields of solar batteries once they expire? All they considered hazardous? I understand California is very earth friendly, so has this ever been a concern, especially w all the electric cars in their state
ELECTRIC CARS? ELECTRIC CARS? BLOODY RUBBISH.
Hopefully no tesla crap anymore after the idiotic comments from Mr. Musk.

California is a magnet for homelessness and crime.

Cheap GE turbines, quick to install, Texas crazy cheap gas. Base supply done simple easy and WTF hasn’t it been done already! DEMOCRATES again!!!
U mean it wasn’t obvious before?
Seems Pakistan is million miles ahead of California in fighting ClimateChange we are working numerous clean energy projects, we are using Euro-5 standard petroleum products, we are planting billions of tree. West destroy world with unplanned industrialization. East is fixing it
It is probable many will make their own power by then.
PGE: 'We took this under advisement and decided that it was in our best interests to instead divert those funds into bonuses for our executives. We hope you understand'
