T This is where you and I totally disagree. Renewables (especially solar PV) are scaling rapidly and will produce the majority of electrical power on the planet before the next century arrives. I've been designing "off grid" and "grid tied" RE systems for over forty years. Eric

All that happened without Gavin Newsom mandating any of that. Yet we can't even transition to a future of renewable energy? It's amusing watching California's Dem dominated government passing one stupid law after another, ad nauseam. Here's just one of the latest examples.. nypost.com Calif. retailers that refuse gender-neutral toy sections will be fined up to $500 under new law LBQXYZ toys will be displayed, or else.. LOL! Next up will be tranny dolls with removable genitals

"Wharfie, you keep dodging the question because you know the renewable energy utopia is unreachable."

Actually, I don't know that, but I do know you can't just snap your fingers and have it happen.

"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.

We can, but not instantaneously.

'Just like we achieved the unwiring of communications all across the world."

We didn't need to replace industrial scale FF generators with industrial scale renewables to do that, did we?

"Just like we achieved putting tens of billions of transistors into the space of a fingernail."
It's a pity we can't do the same with solar panels and wind turbines, and just as cheaply..
