THE BEACH BOYS DO RENEWABLE ENERGY
Powerline ^ | 05/30/2023 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 05/30/2023 3:12:30 PM PDT by DFG

Jon Reisman, Professor of Economics & Public Policy Emeritus at the University of Maine, devoted Power Line reader, and self-described “Statler and Waldorf Intern,” passes along this update of the Beach Boys classic tune everyone will recognize from the opening line:

California’s Grid

With apologies to Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Greta Thunberg

Well, East Coast grids are hip I really dig wind mills they wear And the Southern grid, with the way they spin They knock me out when I’m down there

The Midwest solar panels really make you feel all right And the Northern grid, when the wind don’t blow They keep their back-up going all night

I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California’s grid

The West Coast has the blackouts And the EV chargings banned I dig a solar array on Hawaiian island shoals By a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world And I seen all kinds of grids Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back in the States With the best black outs in the world

I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California’s grid

I thought some folks at Enron got into a lot of trouble for that.
