During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s “NBC Nightly News,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) argued that even though a sizable percentage of the electric grid is powered by natural gas, the grid is “ready to make the change” to a 100% green energy grid and “needs to advance that change with much more urgency,” which California is doing.
NBC News Correspondent Cal Perry asked, “A large percentage of the grid is still coming from natural gas. It’s over 35%. Is the grid ready to make that change to green?”
Newsom answered, “Well, it’s ready to make the change. But it needs to advance that change with much more urgency, and that’s what — exactly what we’re doing.”

A big problem with solar is it produces plenty of voltage but not enough amperage to move the energy over long transmission line distances, its going to need help to move that energy

Kind of similar to the illegal drop offs in NY, CHI, DC, MV, etc. Sometimes the only way for stupid people to learn (democrat voters) is through “hands on” experience.
Given the utter B/S that was being taught, I veered over toward the math-oriented courses which were devoid of B/S because, well, math is racist and unwilling to put up with it.
Long story, short, professors are ripe targets for peddlers of Marxism because they just love theories that look great on paper. And now academia is completely overrun with Marxists.
Not that surprising when we think about it.
And today, academia is pumping out steady streams of grads just like themselves. Lovers or theory. Marxists to the core.
He can barely keep himself from sticking his finger in a light socket.
I wonder if Newsom is aware that carbon dioxide has nothing to do with climate change?
He is ignoring another more powerful greenhouse gas that is 100 times more plentiful.
That greenhouse gas is water vapor. Look outside. See those clouds in the sky?
So true. I commented a few years back that the so called solar farms and wind farms are two of the worst eyesores yet created by humans. Visual pollution. And that's just the beginning of the problems these "farms" create, as you discuss further.
I recall when the green kooks went apoplectic over the ruined ocean view from a handful of offshore oil platforms in Southern California. How their tune has change!
It’ll get worse when there are a million offshore wind turbines. Will they ever let out a peep about that visual pollution?
What makes it even more richer is that California legalized all marijuana growing and usage, and growing marijuana requires tremendous amounts of electricity (for the grow lights). They did no the premise that it would eliminate illegal growing and California would grow rich off of the taxes. Of course what happened is tragically laughable. The illegal growers (mostly Cartels) outnumber the legal growers 50-1, and since California fired most of the sheriffs, then no one is around to enforce the law and get rid of illegal growing, and just when the Californians need electricity from the archaic grid, the marijuana growers are sucking all of it for their plants.
Yep, and a proposal for a wind farm off the Massachusetts coast was shot down also. That was to be near where some of the Kennedys and other wealthy families live.
I have three undergrad degrees. My most recent is a Bachelor's in Business with an accounting major and I agree with your sentiments.
Back in the 60s, communists starting pouring into teaching. Re "45 Communist Goals as entered into the Congressional Record" circa 1963, numbers 17-19:
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
It's a self-perpetuating delusion for these people with no end in sight.
So, do it already. Quit talking about it. I would love to see California make itself one of the poorest states in the union.
Then why are they doing this? When will the people realize this and DO something?
The whole idea is to take away the freedom of independent movement (transportation) from us sheeple so that we can be more easily controlled. IF the government can control energy, food, housing, etc., then they control all of us. That is what this is about.

The commies can check that off their list.
It looks like California is leading the way.
Just get off the Green Scam
