    California: 1. End coal, don't replace with nuclear. Power capacity plummets 2. Buy from neighbors to cover spikes. Neighbors use coal for this 3. Neighbors stop selling during their own spikes-->blackouts in CA 4. "Neighbors must end their coal use"http://archive.is/MZ8A2

        Eh, the original tweet is largely wrong. The biggest *dispatchable* imports to CA are hydro. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2018/07/03/california-breakdown-of-electricity-imports-upholds-statess-clean-reputation/ …

        I am still very curious why I have never lived in a state with rolling blackouts whatsoever if his argument holds but it is somewhat compelling Depends on the extensive vs intensive operating costs of marginal power production I guess Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

        maybe when I'm not getting stoned in the evening I end up spending my time imagining up toy economic models of markets I have no familiarity with instead of making increasingly deranged attacks on the english Language fascinating dramatic cognitive shift

        reminder that US co2 emissions have plummeted almost entirely due to replacement of coal with natural gas plants which are phenomenally efficient and inexpensive

        Yes, but they would have plummeted far more if we had replaced capacity with new nuclear plants. A grid that involves mostly nuclear with natural gas for surge capacity is the best policy, but we keep building wind mills.

        Bad decision making: 1. Make a decision based solely on lofty goals and moralizing without a realistic plan to get from point A to point B. 2. Realize you didn’t make a realistic plan and put a bandaid on the new problem you just created, ensuring that it won’t get fixed.

        3. Do not realize that the people who supplied your “bandaid” are doing the opposite of what you did. Criticize them for not following your example. 4. You wake up in the dark, but for the wildfires visible from your window.

    Loading seems to be taking a while.
