[00:00:00]  Can you tell us what the state has been doing?
[00:00:02]  Blithering idiocy is what they have been doing.
[00:00:04]  They have been saying they are going to shut down all the gas-fired and nuclear plants in California.
[00:00:09]  We have one nuclear plant left.
[00:00:11]  I think we have three gas-fired plants in Southern California producing all of this electricity that we're using every day, 50%, 60% of what we need at night.
[00:00:20]  And they're talking about shutting them down.
[00:00:22]  They were supposed to shut down.
[00:00:23]  By the end of this year?
[00:00:24]  By the end of this year!
[00:00:25]  If you're using them for 60% of your electricity in August, what are the odds that you can shut them down in December?
[00:00:31]  Well, guess what?
[00:00:32]  They are extending their life.
[00:00:33]  Oh, it's only because we need it if it's an emergency.
[00:00:35]  They're pretending we don't really need it.
[00:00:37]  They're saying we can still get rid of fossil fuels.
[00:00:40]  Well, we can't.
[00:00:40]  And it's foolish to try because it's extremely expensive.
[00:00:44]  And they don't like hydroelectric either.
[00:00:45]  There are a lot of environmentalists.
[00:00:46]  They want to blow up the dams and restore everything to nature.
[00:00:49]  What are we doing?
