@KamalaHarris Hi Kamala,
California resident here
3M people could lose their power & A/C tonight, which is dangerous
Do you think it still makes sense to shut down our reliable nuclear plants and try to rely so heavily on solar, which stops producing electricity just as peak demand begins?
@KamalaHarris Now, electric utility PG&E may cut power to 500k customers
Why? Because it spent billions on unreliable renewables rather than maintaining grid (ie clearing vegetation from near elect. wires) thereby raising electric prices 6x more in than in rest of US

@KamalaHarris Last year’s “planned power outages” (aka black-outs) cost California “customers more than $10 billion – that’s 0.3% of gross state product or 10% of overall economic growth this year in California.”

@KamalaHarris "The underlying reasons that California is experiencing rolling black-outs for the second time in less than a year stem from the state’s climate policies, which California policymakers have justified as necessary to prevent deaths from heatwaves."
