| There's also just a kind of spiritual element here where people really are in love with the idea of generating our electricity from sunlight and wind. | |
| And it sounds good, but the problem is that we need power when the sun's not shining, the wind's not blowing. | |
| So there are forms of electricity generation that It means they can produce electricity whenever you want. | |
| And that includes hydroelectric dams, nuclear plants, coal plants, natural gas plants. | |
| Solar and wind are weather-dependent renewables so that if the sun's not shining, then you're not gonna generate any electricity out of your solar panel. | |
| If the wind isn't blowing, then you're not gonna generate any electricity. | |
| So what you end up doing with weather-dependent renewables is you might add them on top of your existing power supply, but you have to maintain that existing power supply because civilization depends on it. | |
| When you deprive a high-energy civilization like ours in California of electricity for any amount of time, really, people die. | |
| I mean, we have hospitals, we have highways, we have air conditioning. | |
| We need electricity to survive at this point. |
