pipedreams Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 FIX CALIFORNIA ….vote REPUBLICAN... "California may allow four gas plants to continue operating after the state was poised to close them, citing future blackout threats, according to the Los Angeles Times. The four plants located along the California coast, which use ocean water for cooling purposes, were scheduled to close sometime in the next few years and be replaced by green energy sources as the state approaches its 2030 deadline to use 60 percent green energy by 2030. Blackout concerns, however, may allow the companies to receive extensions of up to three years to continue their operations after California saw rolling blackouts on Aug. 14 and 15 following a heat wave that caused failures within its electrical system, the Times reported." https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/blackouts-california-gas-plants 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More good would be done to reduce the states population by 60%, than to change the power generation of that state.

jmax Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I guess when they waddle about looking out of their navels something big needs to slap them on the old butt to get their attention due to their very narrow view.

To do that they would have to tell all the non-citizens to go home.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nuclear power is clean. It doesn't kill birds the way wind power does. Solar panels production is a dirty process, as is recycling them. https://fee.org/articles/solar-panels-produce-tons-of-toxic-waste-literally/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/us-department-energy-rushes-build-advanced-new-nuclear-reactors Quote The Trump administration wants to breathe new life into the nuclear industry. In April, DOE announced plans to increase domestic uranium mining and establish a national uranium reserve. And it will put $160 million of the $230 million Congress provided for the reactor demonstration program toward selecting two designs to be built posthaste, most likely at DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory (INL). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 My state's power company has declared that they will be green completely by (IIRC) 2025. That includes wind and Nuclear power. The company states that the real reliance for power will be Nuclear since it's more reliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
