welcome to Venezuela on the left coast.. Its the hallmark of communism that the power isn’t continuous.

You still need transmission lines for renewables like solar and wind and the unreliable nature of those renewables (e.g., surge, stop, surge, stop) is hard on those transmission lines — and makes them wear out faster. Jerk greenies.

And what will happen when they shutdown Diablo Canyon nuke plant? It generates 11% of the state’s power.

did yu notice the key phrase in the story.. 1000 megawatts of .. WIND POWER dropped out because.. there was frickin WIND hehehehe.. This is the future they have planned for us if the pair of idiots get into office in Nov.. Kaly is now starting to resemble Venezuela with its undependable power supply.. Wind is sure working out well ain’t it.

How does one lose an entire 470MW power plant? I can understand losing some output capacity, but the entire plant? That doesn’t even make sense.
