The irony doesn't escape me here. The last (in California) nuclear power generation goes out in 2024 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_Canyon_Power_Plant & phasing out natural gas to new construction and soon to replacement home appliances, & fazing out gasoline powered vehicles in 2035....leaves what? Electrical power, but from what and where and at what cost? http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=46156California is using NG and nuclear powerplants for generation and desalination.
They are stuck with NG or nuclear.
Without them they'll run out of potable water in a short time.
Can Desalination Plants Quench California's Thirst For Water In A Clean Way?
California’s drought is spawning a slew of proposed desalination plants to create potable water from seawater, including one coming up in Santa Barbara. Just how clean are these facilities and what is their impact on ocean life?www.forbes.com
At least 1/3rd & potentially more of California's electrical energy requirement will have to come from outside the state from nuclear & coal & natural gas & hydro & so on and so forth....and if others imitate California's PC wokeness....their needs will require the power being exported to California....& again supply and demand with decreasing supply with increased demand results in what?
