I'm really skeptical of that report, Mindmeld. If we've already crossed price parity, then California should be generating the vast majority of its electricity using solar and wind, and natural gas (which currently supplies almost 50% of our electricity needs) should be only functioning as a supplemental source.

I suspect that report is including a lot of costs of fossil fuel generation and excluding a lot of costs of renewables. There are costs to solar and wind not being able to consistently generate electricity, you know. Hence the need for so-called "smart grids."
