California's renewable-heavy grid vulnerable to rolling blackouts, Newsom looks to buy extra energy
“The issue of reliability has to be addressed," California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom says about his state's power grid, which relies on renewables.
However, when California's almost inevitable heat waves come in the summer and residents crank up their home air conditioners, officials turn on massive diesel-powered generators to make up for the state’s energy shortfall and to avoid rolling blackouts.
"We laid out the markers on solar and wind, but we recognize that’s not going to get us where we need to go,” Newsom said during a recent news conference. “The issue of reliability has to be addressed.”
The summertime problem is especially acute in the early evenings when electricity from solar is not as abundant, according to the Associated Press.
Power the Future’s Daniel Turner told Just The News that Newsom is “suffering the consequences of his own green agenda.”
“Renewable energy is proven to be a failure, both unreliable and expensive, and only free government money and mandates put on the utility companies keep them afloat,” he said.
Turner also argued that California likely wouldn’t be forced into rolling blackouts had the state not “aggressively closed nuclear and coal plants” and upended its own grid.
“This is not the result of climate change but of a political agenda, which ignores market forces and basic physics," he said.
Climate Depot founder Marc Morano has a similar view, saying Newsom is giving his residents the “highest energy prices in the nation” due to the governor being “blinded by climate ideology.”
Those prices, Morano said, are bound to climb even further even if Newsom's latest “scheme” is realized.
