"Because if going "100% renewable" was economically viable right now, we in California would have already achieved it."

LMAO. That's just finger-snapping magical thinking, but your elixir is missing tincture of time. The first target, in '06, was to reduce emissions to where they were in '90, by 2020; 1990, not 1890. The most recent target is zero emissions by 2045.
