So if we were to build wind farms and solar farms everywhere in California, it's just really reckless and very expensive. | |
And your electricity bill is passing through those costs straight to you. | |
By the way, the most important point about all of this is it doesn't affect the climate at all. | |
What we do in California does not affect the global climate. | |
Why not? | |
Because it's too small. | |
One percent. | |
All of our global greenhouse gas emission percentage in California is one. | |
One percent. | |
The whole state could shut down and it would make no difference to the global climate. | |
The whole state, particularly if other countries are burning coal, which they are, more and more, because it's cheap and reliable, we are, in California, bearing this tremendous burden to model good climate behavior. | |
And it doesn't do anything. | |
It has no effect on the climate. | |
Even if you accept all the premises, what we are doing in California does nothing except cost you money. |
