Kaster Weinstein’s Post

California officials have garnered criticism in recent months over their decisions to prolong the lifespans of natural gas and nuclear facilities despite the state’s pledges to shift to cleaner energy. Lawmakers have argued the moves are part of a critical balancing act between California’s ambitious renewable energy goals and the need to keep homes heated and powered. California has one of the largest capacities( in terms of GW's) of Renewable Projects active in the state and some argue they could sustainably power homes and businesses with just that infrastructure. Unfortunately dues to many factors such as generation and the actual transmission of that clean energy, it cannot reach everyone in the state and would possibly lower quality of life for residents. I want renewable sources of energy to be our only source in the future, but this transition, be it across a state or nationwide, is going to take some time, and people are going to need to prepare for it as much as governments. #renewableenergy #solar #nuclearenergy #windenergy #solarenergy #development #transmission
