The partisan debate is related to green energy. By and large it's insufficient for now. The very same progressives who slam coal power also slam one of the greatest forms of green energy - nuclear. Solar efficiency is only ~17%, wind is 35% but has environmental hazards associated with it. Nuclear is 92%, coal is about 80%. So it's rather comedic to see the paragon of progressive virtue (signaling) suddenly suffering grid failure.

PG&E is a notable exception. However, PG&E is a mismanaged dumpster fire. There are costs to being the "leader in renewable energies" and this is one of them. Unfortunately for us normal people we have to suffer because of this virtue signaling and it comes at times like this in absurd heat waves going through the west. The problem with California in general is everything is done in a knee jerk fashion. There are right ways and wrong ways to roll out new energy programs and by fiat ruling to the rip the bandaid is how you get a situation that will kill people. This is an actual notable benefit of conservatism (the principle, not the people). You may be sometimes decades behind the latest and greatest but you don't find yourself in a heat wave without enough power, either.
