They moved over the years to a new facility and I am always fascinated to learn how they manage the grid.
I'm working now on a field trip to the Helms facility but it's really only accessible six months of the year.
Also setting up a tour of Moss Landing for a couple county supervisors.
I think we'll find more and more distributed storage, residential and commercial, so that it doesn't all fall to the utility company.
I'm a fan of keeping Diablo online and interested in smaller modular nuclear reactors.

All of the above meaning that I maintain that we can reach a 100% carbon-free without much difficulty and eventually 100% renewable.

Cheers!
