Californians Win Right to Legally Challenge Dirty Power Plants
>>>

Californica already has some of the highest electricity rates in the country . . . and rolling blackouts . . . This will only drive up the cost of electricity in CA and, likely, lead to still more blackouts.

Why California’s Climate Policies Are Causing Electricity Blackouts

Aug 15, 2020
Millions of Californians were denied electrical power and thus air conditioning during a heatwave, raising the risk of heatstroke and death, particularly among the elderly and sick.

The blackouts come at a time when people, particularly the elderly, are forced to remain indoors due to Covid-19.

At first, the state’s electrical grid operator last night asked customers to voluntarily reduce electricity use. But after power reserves fell to dangerous levels it declared a “Stage 3 emergency” cutting off power to people across the state at 6:30 pm.

. . . . Skip some . . .

California saw its electricity prices rise six times more than the rest of the United States from 2011 to 2019, due to its huge expansion of renewables. Republicans in the U.S. Congress point to that massive increase to challenge justifications by Democrats to spend $2 trillion on renewables in the name of climate change.
