Environment & Energy

This project will serve only to prolong California's dependence on natural gas and do absolutely nothing in the long run to reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses humans end up dumping into earth's atmosphere before our fossil fueled civilization collapses.

Even a twin of the Vogtle 4 nuclear power plant would have a smaller environmental footprint and provide lower cost electricity than most hybrid gas / wind / battery power schemes.

The only way to quit fossil fuels is to quit fossil fuels. Wind projects are entirely dependent on natural gas and other fossil fuels for their economic viability. They cannot displace fossil fuels entirely, which is something we need to do.

The upcoming battle between Old Money / Russian billionaire oil and gas interests, and the billionaire tech-bros nuclear power enthusiasts is going to be interesting. Trump and Musk are going with the Old Money / Russian interests. Wind and solar are still working for them.
