This was no natural disaster. Cali’s own energy laws and policy decisions were the direct and only cause.
If it has reached the point where federal resources have to step in and fix something as basic to governance as their POWER GRID there must be consequences. Cali can’t just get away with decades of liberal energy insanity then come running to daddy federal government when the grid can’t take the load.
If we really have to bail out their grid, then Cali shouldn’t get one single damn say in how it gets done AND they should have to pay for every last cent of it on a short payment plan. Plus contractual guarantees that they will keep the facilities up for at least 50 years. Break down and remove their corrupt “renewables” programs before they break the whole country.
Totally agree with your post.
But what happens to that contract if a Democrat President is elected sometime over those 50 years, and a Democrat Congress. Can they just toss that contract out, or can it be protected from any future administration altering it? The last thing I want to see is the energy grid completely renovated, only to have it end up back where it is now after a couple of decades.
Cali has plenty of fossil fuels just off the coast.
The fossil fuel bubbles up through the ocean floor.
Cali has zero reasons for NOT tapping that fuel source to power generators that create cheap and plentyful electricity
