Another Great Day For Renewable Energy in California.

[NNadir]

6. Again. I'm very sorry. I wish I could tell you it will get better...

...but I can't, because it won't.

I've been following climate change for a long time, most of my adult life. Regrettably, I'm seeing what I expected.

We are not doing anything practical about climate change; nothing at all. Oh, we are lying to ourselves, but that is all.

California is proud of closing Diablo Canyon, and it will not be replaced, and people are cheering for that. From my perspective, they're cheering for fire.

Six or seven new nuclear plants, six or seven relatively small buildings, running at high efficiency, and there would be no natural gas being burned tonight in California.

I've been following CAISO for the last 5 days, and it's looked pretty much like this every day, including the days where the temperatures were over 40C.

At this moment, the emissions link at CAISO shows 11,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide being dumped in the atmosphere each hour, just to generate electricity in the State, and much of the power is being imported at this moment. God knows from whence that comes.

I'm sorry. I'm sure anything I try to say to be comforting will ring hollow.

I hope you will be safe.
