California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced steps Friday to speed up the clean-energy transition and fight climate change, including an end to building gas-burning power plants, even as the move away from fossil fuels has threatened his state with blackouts and forced him to reconsider nuclear power. (Snip) Perhaps most important, Newsom told the head of the California Air Resources Board that he doesn’t want new natural-gas plants built in the state. So many older gas-burning plants have closed in recent years that California experienced brief rolling blackouts in 2020 and has come close to outages on several other occasions, during

Wait until the drought stricken Lake Meade stops delivering water and electricity to his state.

He really hates the citizens of his state. How long does it take to build a nuclear plant? Once it is up, where do you dispose the spent fuel?

Brylcream Boy has gone off the deep end. He also wants no new gas stations to be built in CA too. He just visited the WH and my bet there are plans for him to become VP after Joe checks out and Kammie moves up a notch. They want to bring in the A Team to totally destroy the country while they still have control and half a chance. Look at the damage he has done to California and just imagine what he would do to the country. Joe is a walk in the park compared to Nutjob Newsome.

I have escaped and now only read Crazy California news for the humor.
It takes at least 10 years to build a nuclear plant. Potentially much longer in a stupidly anti-science state like California.
Without gas the only other choices are: coal, wind, solar.
Coal obviously will never happen there. Wind and solar don't provide base load even if they could build enough to support the state's needs.
Stick a fork in it, blackouts coming to California.

They INSIST on you and I freezing in the dark. And unicorn farts and pinwheels will NOT power a modern society.
They will drive us back to the 1800s with their evil 'Climate' religion.

The one thing that might get his attention is turning off the electricity at the Governors mansion.

I grew up there, too. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Where? I can name about 30 states and a few countries that provide for a better lifestyle, cost less and aren't woke crazy. Pick one. It doesn't matter. What is holding you back? Don't let inertia cripple your family's future.

For the last hundred years or so tens of millions of Americans managed to cook their food with gas stoves and ovens. Their “kitchen climates” apparently did them no harm. Politicians against burning clean natural gas are really insane control freaks are are far, far more dangerous to our Soviet than the natural gas they seek to ban.

OK, great. No other state should import any energy to Kalifornia as long as they are not willing to produce their own energy. This is as insane as Brandon shutting down energy production and then going to the Saudis, hat in hand, begging for oil. They laughed at him, as he richly deserved.

Californians had their chance to give this jackass the boot and they didn’t do it. All sane people need to leave the State.

Natural gasoline is very clean burning and one of the main reasons the United States is meeting the Paris Accord targets.
They are trying to knock down the hydro-electric dams.
They cancel a desalinization plant that could provide needed water.
They have not built a new refinery in over 40 years despite a doubling of the state's population, they just keep and maintain the old one's. When the Richmond fire destroyed one of these plants the owners thought it would be great to expand it a bit , but the enviro-nuts (different from someone who simply cares and respects the environment) determine that would be a new plant and they'd have to go through a new EIR and all of the other regulatory bodies, so the owners just re-built what they had, thus, no additional capacity was added to help California businesses and residents.

How does the governor think all these new illegals are going to live? Energy growth is necessary to support a growing population. And with Democrats pushing the nation off energy, we are not going to be able to support the population we have. Too many people do not know that the standard of living we enjoy today was only possible, because of energy production beginning after WWII through until before Biden.

For some reason this headline made me think of Eric Swalwell.
