Gov. Jerry Brown signs law that aims to get all CA electricity from clean sources
ABC7 ^ | Sept. 10, 2018 | AP

Posted on 09/10/2018 12:42:23 PM PDT by Innovative

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.

Traders in the electricity market are going to make a ton of money off California.

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

Brown is a supremely corrupt politician.

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.

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.

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.

There are a lot of negative comments here about california going green. One question. How many of these comments are based on fact, education in the field of public energy supply and /or having actually studied and seen the records for california energy use history? Having asked that. it doesn't take an ear nose and throat specialist to smell a fart that came out as a solid. so I agree, california is going to sh*tzville in a hurry.

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.
