Yes I know some engineers that work for Bechtel, took them years to build it, but it was successful. Need to build more, as clean as wind, smaller footprint, makes way more power 2230 megawatts, would take 2000 wind turbines to make that much, , less maintenance, and they don't kill birds of prey. Eddie you should convince more of your brethren to support this.

The solar farms do too. Birds get zapped out of the sky over them.

Solar panels do not kill birds outright. However, birds are attracted to the shininess of solar panels, which often look like moving water when flying above. Some birds mistake panels for bodies of water and try to dive into the “water,” which hurts or kills them.

Cars made today have Polyethylene, it is called plastic and 70% of cars are plastic. HDPE is a hydrocarbon polymer prepared from ethylene/petroleum. Of coarse you knew that because you work for the oil companies. Johnny Kilowatt is working well in California, when you were out here and traveling west out of the valley, what did you see? You saw windminds and solar farms, well that is even larger now in fact, we shut down a nuke plant and California didn't even blink from the loss. California will figure it out not some backward state in the midwest.

So nice to hear that California should no longer suffer from "rolling blackouts", brownouts, or needing to tell it`s residents that they can`t charge their EVs or turn on their home Air Conditioning during hot weather.

Starting about 15 years ago California mandated that all new homes are required to be sold with solar panels.

Mandated. That’s the one word I hate the most.
I always thought this was the land of the free.
