Just now, I entered my zip code on a reputable news site to check the eclipse time. It said it would start at 10a and last 15 hours.

California uses a lot of solar energy; that power will be reduced on Monday due to the eclipse.It's actually an environmental justice issue.
-
When solar and/or wind energy is down, we have to rely on other sources of energy. Hydro energy's an option, given that the drought is over.
-
That probably won't be enough. California will likely have to increase its use of natural gas energy. Guess where are those plants located?
-
A lot of those natural gas plants are in communities of color. Disproportionate burden and what not.... including during the eclipse.
-
California's public utilities commissions is asking people to reduce their energy use on Monday, but so far only 639 people have pledged :/
-
I care about poc's disproportionate burden so I pledged not to charge my electronics during the eclipse. Join me: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/form/page.aspx?id=1 …pic.twitter.com/P2IFbCjLP2

It won't cost you anything. And I'm *positive* thousands of you have a minute to spare to take this eclipse pledge: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/form/page.aspx?id=1 …

It's wild to me that environmental journalists haven't written about this. Bound to happen when you don't hire black/native/latinx writers.pic.twitter.com/EB6nCbZu0P
