California needs fossil fuel!This may well force the state with ambitious emission-reduction targets to rely more on its remaining natural gas-powered plants for baseload electricity
"Blackout Risk And Electricity Prices Are Spiking In California
Californians were paying 70 percent more for electricity than people living in other states. At the same time, the security of their energy supply is increasingly questionable.
A more severe than usual drought in the state this year has depleted reservoirs and lakes, including the ones feeding some of the largest hydropower facilities. This means lower output from hydropower stations. This may well force the state with ambitious emission-reduction targets to rely more on its remaining natural gas-powered plants for baseload electricity supply."
