Herman Trabish of Greentech Media has happened across a pretty interesting find — 97% of new electricity generation capacity in line to be added to the California grid in the second half (2H) of 2012 is from solar power projects.

In total, 1,633 megawatts of generation capacity are in line to be added to the grid in 2H 2013. A whopping 1,581 megawatts (MW) are from solar projects. 52 MW are from biomass projects.

"New" being the operative.

Let's see how long that lasts.

The solar power industry is one of the most toxic of them all.

Toxic solar, bird-killing wind farms, fish-destroying hydroelectric.

But hey, as long as it's not hydrocarbons, it's ok!
