California like all of the other fossil fuel dependent so called "renewable energy" nirvana has stretches lasting weeks where the wind doesn't blow. Anyone with a sense of or interest in reality can learn this easily by wading through the data at the CAISO website.

What's the proposal, to send out ambulances and fire trucks only when the sun is shining and/or the wind is blowing?

Congrats, all this stupid interminal wishful thinking has literally set the world afire. We're at greater than 421 ppm concentrations of the dangerous fossil fuel waste CO2 in the planetary atmosphere.

Congratulations again!
