“It was far easier for utility companies and their executives to stop resisting the green onslaught rather than continue to fight it.”
Why bother fighting it? The public wanted this crap and elected people to make it happen.
While I feel sorry for conservatives (and conservatives who have relatives there), this is EXACTLY what is needed to shake some sense into Leftists.
Leftists want the BENEFITS of an advanced society, but they are so brainwashed that they think they can get it for free. Well, they cannot.
The only problem is if some of the leftists in California get fed up with the nonsense, they’ll flee the state rather than try to fix it. So, as much as many would like to think the leftists in California would be punished, the reality is that punishment would spill over into the red states, even more than it has in recent years.
