| California politicians have been passing laws mandating more and more renewable energy and celebrating that we're hitting our targets. | |
| But if you look at what we really use to generate electricity in California, it's mostly natural gas. | |
| It's mostly fossil fuels. | |
| And sometimes it's imported electricity from other states. | |
| And the reason for this is for all renewables, they only provide maybe 30% of what we need. | |
| At night, far less. | |
| Because it's mostly solar, and by the time the sun goes down, solar energy's at zero. | |
| And people say, oh, well, batteries. | |
| Well, batteries. | |
| Maybe 3% of the energy we're using at night comes from batteries, and they run out by midnight. | |
| So what are we running the state of California on? | |
| When you plug your electric vehicle into your wall charger, it's charging on natural gas. | |
| Also nuclear, large hydroelectric, and imported electricity. | |
| That's what's running California. | |
| So it's a fantasy that we can go to 100% renewable. | |
| We can only go to 100% renewable if it's never summer and it's never night. |
