> Fun fact, people in California are paying nearly twice the price for energy than the rest of the US. People in California are paying massive amounts for power distribution. The utilities themselves are paying very little for power generation -- for example, they pay 4c/kWh for a solar+batteries plant build in 2022. > but doesn't put out anywhere near the power of nuclear. We have > 250GW of solar and 97 GW of nuclear. Nuclear produced 779TWh and solar 303TWh in 2024. They are quite comparable. > If California wants to do solar, it can! Though it will likely go the way of the rail project, the firefighting org etc California already has a lot of solar and batteries.
