They simply want to move the pollution from power plants to other states. Those states should cut the wires to the idiots.
When CA finally gets this worked out what will those other states do without the revenue?
I live within 25 miles of these power plants generating for large eastern cities. 2 nuclear, 4 hydro, 2 coal fired, 1 oil fired, 2 waste burners and numerous small generators, the only financial difference for me is higher property taxes because of so much land being used by the utilities and their power lines.
How far east? Are they still in California? The data that I can find shows California to be a huge importer of electricity.
"In 2018, almost one-third of California's electricity supply came from outside the state. "
"Until mid-2013 it had two nuclear power plants: Diablo Canyon and San Onofre – with four PWR reactors totalling 4390 MWe capacity. These are designed to survive large earthquakes. However, San Onofre has now closed down,"
So only one active power plant. That might be part of your problem. If you are paying state and local taxes to support people from out of state your local regulators are not doing their jobs.
