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.

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.
