Here's the report from the FERC:
https://www.ferc.gov/market-oversight/reports-analyses/mkt-views/2018/05-17-18-A-3.pdf https://www.ferc.gov/market-oversight/reports-analyses/mkt-v...
relevant parts:
“In Southern California, lower-than-average hydro generation may create challenges as natural
gas-fired generation, the replacement for hydro production shortfalls in past years, may be
limited due to reduced gas storage capacity and local pipeline outages in the region."
"Limited operations at Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, plus state rule changes reducing
the rate at which natural gas may be injected and withdrawn from storage, may complicate
pipeline operations."
the sky isn't falling.

- vpribish 8y agoexactly, FERC is the horse's mouth that that alarmist was posting about. The down-votes are mystifying since I provided utterly relevant data and observation about the source of the controversy. Guess its as likely to be progressives with poor reading comprehension as coal-staters upset I rained on their propaganda.
