Newsom has a plan to keep the lights on in California — using fossil fuels
Sammy Roth - Yesterday 11:40 PM
 

Acontroversial plan from Gov. Gavin Newsom would reshape how business is done on the California power grid, potentially helping to extend the life of beachfront gas plants and the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, making it easier for solar and wind farm developers to sidestep local government opposition, and limiting environmental reviews for all kinds of energy projects.
 
State lawmakers could vote as early as Wednesday night on the polarizing legislation, whose text was revealed late Sunday.

The bill would give the Department of Water Resources unprecedented authority to build or buy energy from any facility that can help keep the lights on during the next few summers — including polluting diesel generators and four gas-fired power plants along the Southern California coast that were originally supposed to close in 2020 but were rescued by state officials.

Those decisions would be exempt from the normal public input process under the California Environmental Quality Act — and from approval by agencies such as the California Coastal Commission and local air quality management districts.

In other words, another tacit admission that so-called "green" energy just doesn't cut it.

Rank hypocrisy.

I'm sure his staff is writing an article praising him for being brave and always willing to do what it takes to take care of Mejifornians, no  matter what the potential consequences.  In other words, he would be a great POTUS.

There is no smoke and mirrors here, Noisome and his policies have done enormous damage to California and driven out Corporations, businesses and higher income workers depleting the tax base while importing hundreds of thousand more leaches and homeless. All of this malarkey he's pulling right now is because he knows he will lose a tremendous amount of votes(he really has no support outside of democrat elites) which will negatively impact his residential aspirations.

In other words he is typical democrat slime that really doesn't care about the stinking proletariat.

In a classic case of when realty bites I'm surprised a rat like Gov good hair just didn't burry his hair in the sand?

Saving the childrens' future is not as important as saving his own political future.
