Everyone loves to talk about #ClimateChange and #AGW and #ParisAgreement but the boring and stubborn fact is that "green" energy does not produce the POWER we use.
California is seeing what happens MW output drops but consumption remains unchanged (likely more): brownouts
I know... you wished dad drove a cool car, but with kids, a dog, football gear, diaper bags... the wood paneled V8 station wagon made sense.
@GavinNewsom is trying to be the cool dad in a Boxster. It's not enough car for the family.
Who gets left behind in this effort to be "green" and cool? The poor. The people who don't have an extra $10k to "go green" with taxpayer subsidized solar panels. You think the governor's mansion has brownouts? HA!
But... #ClimateChangeIsReal! So's physics. And 5oz swallow cannot carry a 1 pound coconut- it's not a question of where it grips it.
California consumes N Megawatts. It now produces N x 0.90 Megawatts. The power shortage was predictable, inevitable, avoidable, and reversible.
