I suspect this is a rather good likeness of both of them!

Why do all your "contributions" to SI need to involve personal attacks and insults? Why can't you just deal with the discussion?

California is "greening" itself toward a third world electrical gridThe "greening" of California's energy infrastructure is producing some unforeseen consequences. Solar power doesn't work very well at night. Or on cloudy days. Wind power tends to operate intermittantly. A robust power grid takes those factors into account, usually by having natural gas turbine generators on standby. Alas, California's ecotwits have forced most of the state's fossil fueled power plants into mothballs. The ones that are still limping along will likely be shuttered by 2020 thanks to onerous and prohibitively expensive upgrades required under the Clean Air Act. So what will happen on cloudy, windless days? Rolling blackouts. In 21st Century America. California will join the third world. I imagine the Green Goons see this as a feature.
