Seems to me that California better get busy drilling off shore and building refineries along the coast to deliver all that power plants to run the electricity out there.

I dont think there is a power shortage...there is an infrastructure problem....too many people turning on too many appliances at once, and the lines are too thin to carry all the demand....

Seems to me that California better get off it's collective butt and build some nuclear power plants. If we get started now and run through the gauntlet of environmental-group lawsuits, new plants could be putting out power sometime in 2030. Even if the elderly have to suffer through the blackouts without A/C now, maybe those who manage to live for another couple of decades can get power when they need it most.
