Why would it be worse than what happens with cloudy weather or when the sun goes down at night?

I know, right? And exactly how long will the sun be blocked during this eclipse, which only affects 4% of the power, anyway? OMG it is DOOMSDAY for sure. What hysterical liberalism.

Picker said the CPUC could compensate with small power plants that burn natural gas. But unlike the solar facilities, the natural gas plants would emit greenhouses gases, so theyd rather not fire them up....so they'd rather not do their job.

62% of the sun that provides less than 4% of the power is going away for about 2 minutes.
What a bunch of crap.

Just like “we need to pass the bill to see what’s in it “ Kinda like a stool sample.

Might I suggest a trial run during the next night time (or, better, evening) period? What a load of bull.

Nowhere in CA is there totality, other than totality of insanity.
In fact, the sun will depart from the usual 100% of sunshine to anywhere from 10% to 60% of sunshine, depending on where you are and varying over the course of perhaps 2 and a half hours.
Once again, nothing different than a weather system passing over the state.

Insanity.

Warned by people who do not know what a battery is or what a battery does.
Surely the solar infrastructure has sufficient battery assets in place to keep things going for the 20-40 minutes of the totality of the eclipse. I mean, WTH do these mental midgets think happens at night?

That would be a solar farm larger then most states.

This is a problem easily solved, if the nations of the world joined in the effort.
The many nations building and possessing nuclear weapons and long range missles could, in unison, send all their missles and nukes toward the MOON. Don’t forget, the MOON is the problem here. The unified and synchronized blasts would break the MOON into small pieces of space dust and thus the problem is solved. NO more dangers of that useless space body to interrupt Stupidfornia’s supply of “FREE” solar power.
Not only that, the lack of a MOON would eliminate the constant rising and falling of the ocean’s tides. No more coastal flooding.
If anyone thinks this is a good idea, seek help soon.
