This is huge. That 10 TWh compares to 20,000 TWh used worldwide [1], or 1/2,000th of world use. ~3,500 TWh of world use is from dams [2] and another ~3,000 TWh

This is huge. That 10 TWh compares to 20,000 TWh used worldwide [1], or 1/2,000th of world use. ~3,500 TWh of world use is from dams [2] and another ~3,000 TWh from nuclear, so CA utility solar PV has displaced more like 1/1,500th of fossil fuel use for electricity. We're making progress!
