Do they really provide a quarter of CA’s energy and if so, how much is it costing Californians?
I honestly don’t know, so I’m asking.
Is there ANY place for windmills and solar energy?
Again, responses appreciated in advance.
I don’t know how much energy they put out and how reliable they are on a daily basis and how much more they cost than fossil fuels.
re: “Is there ANY place for windmills and solar energy?”
Yes.
Remote villages in low-tech, developing, third-world countries placed there by do-gooders and other volunteer organizations ...
I’ve seen the numbers here and there, but nothing off the top of my head. Liberals also complain about land being displaced and birds killed by wind and solar, so there’s no pleasing them either. Nor is every day sunny, and every day windy. Green energy companies always ending up flopping (often intentionally, but that’s another story).

California may not actually produce it, but they claim to purchase it from all over.

Some. I’d suggest desalinization of sea water as a start. The intermittency of solar and wind power probably wouldn’t be too big problem, given a large enough reservoir for the fresh water.
