Like a Secret Drunk hiding bottles everywhere
half of Southern California’s electric generation comes from coal-fired generating plants in Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona.
This little factoid makes me smile. I remember a few years ago, during liberal outrage at Arizona over their legislature passing a bill dealing with illegal aliens, that LA had decided to boycott Arizona. Then it was discovered that LA gets significant amounts of electricity from Arizona, so their boycott was rescinded.
It makes me laugh because LA was wanting to make a political statement against Arizona bigotry and all that, but didn’t feel strongly enough about it to sit in the dark and heat of a southern California summer, if the result of their policy would be rolling blackouts and cutoff of power.
I've been pointing this out here on FR for a decade - the fraud California government externalizes its pollution by getting most of its power from the other western states.
The IPP is in Delta, Utah in the middle of nowhere, and no one ever sees it unless they take a wrong turn off of I-15 on their way to Salt Lake.
Same story for the Navajo Generating Plant at Page, Arizona: but that one is easy to see from US 89 on the way to Lake Powell.
But the worst hypocrisy is the LA DWP ownership interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating station outside of Phoenix - from which LA gets 16% or so of its electric power.
Its hilarious to see Brown trying to outlaw all of this - he might as well try to repeal physics. Natural gas can certainly help, but it ain't gonna provide the power for tens of millions more from Mexico and China that the freak wants to pour into California.
Utah’s Intermountain Power Project is expected to convert to natural gas by 2025. The Utah power company sells about 90 percent of its power to six California municipalities.
JUST SAY NO! and REFUSE to convert, let them live in the DARK!
Naughty Jerry Brown!
Awesome!!!
I just converted to solar on my California home this year, so my investment will be paying double digit returns as the costs spike!
California’s politicians feel another sting of truth the idiots can’t hide everything.
All the coal is burned downwind from California, so “what difference does it make?”
Wouldn’t it be fun to see coal generated electricity banned in Californua? Surprised the libbies out there haven’t presented a bill to Jerry Brown for this.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
