Newsom tries to avoid the bad headlines that another round of blackouts would bring for the state with the highest energy prices in the contiguous United States. Newsom had campaigned on shutting down the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. Now, the state is considering expanding the facility and increasing its storage by two-thirds.
All of California’s promises of phasing out “dirty” energy and running entirely on renewables to save the world ran face first into the dirty reality that renewables just aren’t that good.
Just like California’s series of failures in water storage, forest fires, poverty, homelessness, and crime, this was a predictable development. Everyone saw it coming except the pie-in-the-sky liberals that run the state, who were so convinced that they were revolutionary geniuses who could build a better grid while listening to delusional climate activists. Unfortunately, as is the case too often in California, they were returned to our dirty reality once again.
California's green energy grid is on dirty life support
Perhaps we need more wind turbines they can shut down when the wind blows.
