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.

Our house was built in 1978. In Ohio. It was mandated to be built total electric. Our total sub division is electric.That was in just the opposite of times, as we had just came from the 73 oil embargos. 15 years ago they finally ran gas lines out here. 2 of my neighbors switched. We are thinking about putting in some type of solar panels to heat the swimming pool so we can get rid of the heat pump out there. Funny how we swing back and forth.

You are free to pay or index your bill and get a credit. Choice is a wonder thing. Some people in my area pay $1200 a month in the summer months,
I would rather sent that on something else.

Kind of like Obamacare. It was mandatory to have health insurance, but it was way too expensive for me so I chose to pay the fine which really got ridiculous.
