Good thing that California hasn’t gotten rid of so many reliable, affordable, dependable forms of energy generation, eh?
Electricity use would surge under California’s new climate plan
California’s sweeping climate plan would increase electricity consumption by as much as 68% by 2045 – which would put an immense strain on the power grid unless hefty private and public investments are made in clean energy, state air quality officials said today.
In other words, Californians are doomed to constant blackouts and government limits on when they can use electricity
The California Air Resources Board is holding its first day-long public hearing today on its proposed climate-change blueprint, called a scoping plan, for reducing greenhouse gases.
The state’s power grid — marred by outages in previous years and increasingly extreme weather — needs massive investments to attain the clean-energy future outlined in California’s five-year climate roadmap.
Sure thing, blame a tiny increase in the world’s temperature since 1850 for idiotic policies
At least 450 speakers lined up to voice concerns about the plan at the hearing, which is expected to continue late into the evening and possibly on Friday. The hearing was temporarily interrupted when environmentalists and their supporters who were rallying outside entered the packed room, protesting the state’s plan and demanding environmental justice.
Looks like even the reliable Warmists in California are not fine with moving the plan from theory to practice
To achieve the plan’s goals, air board officials project that California will need about 30 times more electric vehicles on the road, six times more electric appliances in homes to replace gas appliances, 60 times more hydrogen supply and four times more wind and solar generation capacity.
