Mark Carney would be better than Pierre Poilievre in dealing with Trump, poll finds

California is recognized as one of the most favorable places in the world for solar.
Reliable sunny weather and cheap and available desert land near large population.
Solar accounts for about 25% of the annual production.
At this point if they add new solar they have to shut down less efficient older supplies as they can't reasonably use any more in the times it is available.

They also have some of the highest electricity prices in the US and are loosing their appeal as a desirable place to relocate.

But you forgot about North Dakota and Texas!

Not mentioning they're capped at 1/4 - 1/3 of total generation is the information ommision.

Looking at China where solar etc are growing nicely. And pollution a real concern.
Coal alone, not counting other fossils, will account for 60% for the foreseeable future.
They have a 2050 projection to cut that in half.
Let's see if they place the projection above economic security demands.
Where were your panels made?

I think Furrow explained why O&G production areas appear to adopt renewables due to regulatory and big government subsidies?

[sumdumguy]

Who the “h” gave this convoluted bunch of tyrants the right to pillage the taxpayer purse on subsidies to destroy our economic generators? How perverse and misguided can these thieves be?

[blackpowder]

Transfer recipients of one kind or another mostly.

What percentage do these renewables supply to the grid vs base load staples? Better yet what percentage of power does your solar array generate vs what you get off the grid? Not knocking your intrepid venture but parroting the same stuff without some real world data is like me saying your momma wears army boots and you stink like fish.

Around 25- 35% in ND and TX if my memory is correct.

My solar system produces on average the same as my annual usage about 35,000 kwh

I just looked it up, there are no grid scale solar installations in North Dakota, why do you suppose that is Chuck2? But you are correct 36% from wind, oldest wind installation is over 20 years old.
