The problem as always is that solar power is a limited source of energy, and it takes up acreage. It can never replace fossil fuels. Same with wind. When bubble-headed politicians like AOC talk about “renewable energy”, there’s a reason they aren’t specific on what that means. There are none which will meet society’s demands.
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.

The electric power issue for the process is addressed by using an alternative means of electrical energy.
...from renewable sources such as wind and solar.
Wind power for an individual home has a very small footprint. Why does it have to be some huge corporate entity that provides wind power when a home wind turbine system would suffice?
Solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen for heating/cooking purposes...all for free after the initial equipment purchase and installation...
Who can complain?
Well, I guess the utility companies can complain. There go the profits.
Large industries would probably still need large production facilities, but the average person/home owner wouldn't.

Except that ignorant pols weird the political power to pass laws mandating the impossible. Fleet fuel economy for example.
