If we could somehow decide to take this nation back one state at a time, this ol'fella would gladly come out there, suit up, and man the barricades with y'all.

Brown, who has positioned California as a global leader in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, approved the measure as he prepares to host a summit in San Francisco of climate change leaders from around the world later this week.
The renewable energy measure would require California's utilities to generate 60 percent of their energy come from wind, solar and other specific renewable sources by 2030. That's 10 percent higher than the current mandate.
The goal would then be to use only carbon-free sources to generate electricity by 2045. It's merely a goal, with no mandate or penalty for falling short.

I still question the validity of the so-called “greenhouse” gases. Junk science, in my opinion.
Moonbeam, and Company plans for fairy tale energy sources will never work, and Californians will all have to pay the costs of the Leftist schemes just like so many have had to pay the costs of such morons throughout history.
Time to leave California while we can get something out of our lifetime’s worth of investment here. We’ll need something to carry us through the few remaining years.

We don’t need no steeenking fizzics!

I expect that every data center that can leave California will.

Relax!
Its only 6 more years ‘til the Day of Trumpets.

Brown is a supremely corrupt politician.
How many years in prison will one get for running a backup or portable generator..?
What does Moonbeam propose to do when the sun is not shinning(like at night) and the wind is not blowing? Oh wait every single solar power plant has to be backed up 100% by a fossil fuel power plant, ending up sending electricity rates soaring for poor consumers.
Paraphrasing Imagine Dragons:
Welcome to the Stone Age, welcome to the Stone Age...
The Who - Dangerous
This is a jungle, not illusion
Jungle city, in confusion
We are the next step in evolution
The new stone age, revolution
Back to the stone age, constitution
No solution
There are NO clean sources.
Everything they call “clean” either has to be produced using “dirty” energy, or has to be subsidized by it to make it worthwhile.
Jerry’s Acid Flashbacks kicking in again.
This is what happens when you over-do the LSD, mescaline and other hallucinogenics in your younger years.

Fwiw, I agree re preparation and Pence.
Thorium-fueled Molten Salt reactors are the most non-polluting energy source in the world. In fact, they even burn up the residual energy found in spent uranium fuel rods, a resource we have in great plenitude, and which ARE hazardous waste.
Wind powered turbines kill a LOT of migrating birds, and solar panel arrays require considerable maintenance particularly in dusty climates. which is where many of them by necessity would have to be located, as on the middle of deserts or on a high plain with little or no rainfall.
There are, in fact no totally “clean” energy sources that do not create a number of their own problems, which may be as vexing as the energy sources being replaced. The total gasification of coal still holds at least as good an overall record in regards to total impact on the environment, as all these other schemes that rely on solar, wind or even hydroelectric power.
We know how to make coal burn clean, and to address what is in reality a non-problem, the production of carbon dioxide does NOT increase real pollution, regardless of any court ruling, as carbon dioxide is endlessly recycled in nature.
Including cow dung.
