California ran on 100% renewable green energy sources for the first time ever…. It only lasted 15 minutes.

This is hilarious. For 15 minutes we achieved a goal and it’s so great.

California runs on 100% clean energy for the first time, with solar dominating

California, the world's fifth-largest economy, was powered by 100% clean energy on April 30. That milestone was driven largely by solar power.

"In 2020, California surpassed 81% clean energy, so Saturday’s milestone demonstrates that the state is making progress."

There's also less people (= less demand) than there was in 2020.

I would like to see this achievement on Dec 12th

California's own data shows 2020 wasn't anywhere near 81%

wonders how much diesel fuel was used to get the elements to make them so call FUCKIN Green solar Panels .. and the copper wire to send that electric down to the end user ..

We could recharge our phones. Thats a start.

They count this as a success .. read the comments

Is there any volcano in California?




At least seven California volcanoes—Medicine Lake Volcano, Mount Shasta, Lassen Volcanic Center, Clear Lake Volcanic Field, Long Valley Volcanic Region, Coso Volcanic Field, and Salton Buttes - have partially molten rock (magma) deep within their roots


well here you go Cali .. .. bore some holes close to the magma .. run some pipe and pump ocean water .. the heat from the magma turns water to steam .. powers the generators to make electric .. condense the steam back to water and return it to the ocean .. repete ..


it will still take fossil fuels to do it ..

remembered a old movie .. Volcano .. LOL ..

Boil ocean water and you get saltier water and fresh water once you condense it.

They need the fresh water too. Return the brine to the ocean and keep the fresh water too.

Power and water in one swoop.

Too complicated for liberals and actually solves a problem they don’t want solved because it gets people out to vote.
