Further suggested he build nuke plants for clean sustainable energy.
“I just sent Newsom a note asking why the world’s fifth largest economy is energy dependent on neighboring states?”
Because California Leftists have been externalizing their problems for decades so they can preen to the public about how they shut down all those big mean nook and gas plants.
Jerry Brown running around foaming at the mouth about Rancho Seco gave him lotsa points back in the 70s but of course they knew they could buy power from the upcoming Palo Verde Nuclear Generating station that LA DWP has a stake in. Which is conveniently hidden 60 miles west of Phoenix in the desert off the interstate far enough that the hoi polloi don’t notice it.
These SOBs have always known what they were doing: depending on Glen Canyon Dam, Parker Canyon Dam, Grand Coulee, the Delta coal plant, the Navajo Generating Station and of course Palo Verde. But the beaming simpleton voters in CA have no idea about those plants. But everyone in the outlying states knows about them and has to deal with any associated problems...like the air quality that the Navajo plant created up until the scrubbers were installed in the mid-70s.
Trash like Moonbeam never talked about them though, so of course...they don’t exist. At least not in the airheads of the Bay Area and Downtown Los Angeles.
