Does anyone but me believe this solidifies that "Renewables' is nothing but contortions to manipulate the public treasury as one can take non-renewable generated energy and claim it is 'renewable' and claim a renewable credit in California when the energy is neither generated and used in California?
Anytime one takes public funds to pick winners one gets distortion of the market like this.
The ones that take it on the chin the most are the ones who have to pay their power bills that contain this crap.
From Carbon Credit schemes to the present day nonsense, subsidies, etc. it has always been about the redistribution of resources (wealth), under coercion if necessary. Climate change has been going on since there has been an Earth, and no piece of paper will suddenly bring that natural process to a halt, regardless of the hardships and expenses it imposes.
