It’s guaranteed riots in the street either way this summer and fall and hunger strikes too.
Bet he is counting the days..
How long until there is a “Greece fire” that breaks out in Calfornia?
And we won’t have Germany to help pour gasoline on that conflagration. It is not as if California totally lacked the resources to pull themselves out of this mire, as they have HUGE quantities of petroleum locked up both offshore, and untapped capabilities inland. Plus, this is the exact right place to be building new nuclear power plants, starting at the rate of one every month for the next five years or so.
If California is going to have a “hydrogen economy”, in which fuel-cell vehicles may be getting charged on every street corner, the power generation capability has to be immediately available, no buying up of electric power from Washington State and Canada (which may have gotten them into this growing bind in the first place).
And why is electric power necessary for a “hydrogen economy”, you ask? Because we cannot mine hydrogen, or pump it out of a well, and it does not transport easily from elsewhere. It has to be made on the spot, by using electric power to form free hydrogen from the electrolysis of water.
Not as efficient as using pixie dust, to be sure, but the technology is much better developed for its application in this world in which we live.
Its going to be a long, hot summer.
He'll be on a private jet to Austria the moment that happens.
