Yes, do let's ignore the renewable we're already rocking out here. Washington State generates nearly 1/4 of the hydroelectric power in the entire nation. Add in Oregon and California, and we're just under half. We could have added another 1/4 to that with the Rampart Dam in Alaska, but it was canceled.
We produce more RENEWABLE hydroelectric power in this state than the entire NATION produces in wind and solar.
So yes, thank you, we CAN get 35% of our power from renewables.
We already produce 75% of our power from renewables. Nice to see the fellow you're quoting did his homework.
Washington State can use Wind, but solar is just flat out fucking stupid, we have hydro, and we have quite a bit of potential geothermal power to be developed. SO there you go. Our grid is FINE. We don't need to retool every god damn thing about our grid to accomodate solar power up here. It's shit anyway in this region.
