“The CPUC for years focused attention elsewhere, on setting rates and pushing for cleaner power.”
And failing in both while ignoring safety.
Actually, you might be surprised at how much of California’s electrical energy is supplied by renewables:

According to the table at the link, solar and wind each generate slightly more electrical energy that either nuclear or oil.
Natural gas is well and away the largest single source of electrical energy generation at 35%.
But all renewable sources combined contribute 31%. The high percentage surprised me when I looked it up. I had wrongly assumed the percentage would be much lower.
These are government numbers, so appropriate caution in accepting/adopting them is necessary. (Especially when they don’t know the source of 10% of their power generation.)
