First of all, it could never work as other than a supplement for REAL energy - coal, oil, NG or nuclear - simply because those things work whether the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, or not. You ALWAYS have to have a full back up for renewable energy, and thus you are building twice the infrastructure. Not very smart, economically speaking.
WRT Cali and its policies: Like so many other Communists, the legislature and governor of California seem to believe that they can change human nature and the laws of science and economics with the stroke of a pen. Well, here’s some news for you guys, gals and transformers: you can’t, no matter how hard you wish for it and no matter how much of a horse’s ass you make of yourselves giving some speeches or attending some protests to show your ideological purity.
Though common sense and science have, once again, won out, the tragedy here is that an entire state with well over 30 million souls has and will have to bear the costs of this sheer idiocy combined with naked dictatorial fantasy. Yes, a lot of the voters asked for this...but a lot of them didn’t and, in fact, strenously opposed it. That’s why there’s the phrase, “Rope. Tree. Politicians. Some assembly required.”
There was a story the other day about a small town that went totally renewable, planning on selling excess energy back to the grid. Then fracking came along and made their higher priced electricity unattractive. Now their electric supplier is dunning the locals for lost revenue, in the millions. I laughed until I cried.

Nope. They are going to blame the bankruptcy on the fire.
