They forget that the majority of California's electrical power is produced by burning natural gas

Considering there is NO Sustained Alternative Power, which means even during Peak Solar and Wind generation, THE GAS TURBINES ARE STILL RUNNING, I would say we Get NOTHING from so called Alternative Energy.

Right.. force everyone onto electric, making them all the more vulnerable when PG&E conducts more blackouts.

Modern natgas generators can throttle up and down, responding to demand. But yeah, it is foolhardy to utilize wind and solar as more than minor supplements to the grid.
