As California keeps facing electricity shortages, the discussion around its grid often veers to extremes.
On the one hand, some see it as a sign that the state has moved away too quickly from natural gas and nuclear power, which can run on command. Others see the heat waves and the tragic wildfires as further evidence that the state should move even faster toward a carbon-neutral future based on intermittent renewables. That misses some nuances.
djtgallagher Build more power plants...
djtgallagher Just one new nuclear power plant would help a lot. Too bad public opinion and politics so often come up with the wrong answers.
djtgallagher Nuclear energy.
djtgallagher Nuclear energy? Or maybe natural gas? Also proper forest management(that is just an aside)
djtgallagher To go totally green is noble and all but like it or not fossil burners still have their place. CA decommissioned too much capacity too soon. Now the customers pay the price.
djtgallagher Actually, there is. Make rational decisions based on economic and technical realities. Unfortunately, California is not prepared to do any such thing.
djtgallagher Add more solar panels you liberal buffoons...
djtgallagher Get rid of your democratic government.
djtgallagher Cleanspark is a huge step towards a solution. $CLSK
djtgallagher How about building more gas fired and nuclear power plants, or restarting nukes that were recently taken off line?
djtgallagher Google South Africa and beware of Loadshedding
