Effect on climate: ZERO
Effect on rate payers: DISASTER
But Brown doesn’t give an obama.
This is a joke. An expensive joke, but a joke none the less. Power gets pumped into the grid from Coal, LNG, Hydro, Wind, Solar,..... The electrons don’t know where they come from. There is X percentage of each, so CA can SAY they are only buying the clean energy and then smugly point at other states and say “see, they buy dirty energy”. But the fact is that CA uses just as much dirty or clean energy as everyone else. But hey, they feel good and that is all that matters.
Brown can never run for California Governor again...he has held the office for 4 Four terms.
He is following the Obama script:
Salt the Land & scorch the earth. Destroy everything so nothing remains for the successors.
