Another Cool Down article predicted $863 monthly PG&E prices soon in California

Four problems other than the fact 66% of California opposes the ban:

- he's going to run for President of all U.S. states, where more like 90% oppose, yet we in flyover country would be force fed Newsom's beliefs

- he leads a cabal of 10+ other Blue states that do whatever California espouses for vehicles

- car companies often build only a California-spec car that gets excessive gas mileage at the expense of performance if gas-powered, & EVs if mandated

- California still allows a $3500 state EV new rebate that no doubt would become $7500 again if elected President. Your tax dollars would support the rich.

Clowns at the Guardian. They suggest imposing sanctions on the U.S. with no mention of China being an issue.

They claim that nations with just 1% of CO2 emissions are the plurality problem when China, alone, exceeds their totals when international shipping is included.

Mali is mentioned along with possible U.S. sources that could constitute twice the natural gas reserves.

Why do alarmists never mention this alternative to solar & wind?

Did you know, France has some of the highest percentages of smokers in the EU (smaller population Eastern Europe has more but I don't see fires there)?

162 arsonists have already been arrested as of earlier July. What is the number now?

But France already has substantial nuclear & Spain renewable power. What would reduce LOCAL climate change & fires if it already is occurring? Is Europe spending disproportionately too much on climate mitigation given it generates about 8% of Global CO2?

China & India alone create 40% of local CO2 with Asia pushing that number well above half. Do France & Spain buy Chinese products?

1.2 GW of new U.S.-made solar, with newly augmenting transmission lines, eventually will include an AI data center at an existing coal plant.

The facility will be midway between Houston & Dallas with no plans to shut down the coal power.

This kind of all-source energy Texas funding ensures the state's continued economic expansion & population growth.

This shows the complexity of grid/power management BEFORE FUTURE A/C, EVs, and AI were demanding power. On a day of an England World Cup night game, UK was having big power issues due to overreliance on renewables.

If France's nuclear plants hadn't been there to bail them out, South UK population centers would have had blackouts.

This guy was convicted. I'm worried the one whose earlier arson fire burned the Palisades, Altadena, & Malibu might get off after a hung jury

People & forest-neglect cause most forest fires...not climate change.

PJM powers 13 East Coast U.S. states.

Overreliance on renewables & an inadequate grid in these congested urban states make it hard to build new powerlines to smaller MW renewables vs. using big-GW baseload sources like coal, natural gas, & nuclear.

Auction prices reflect more demand than power supply.

This is climate-related because Europe cannot begin to pay for AI, more A/C, & EV electricity on renewable & expensive power characterisic of the EU/UK.

Europe's climate alarm, chasing diminishing returns for possibly 8% of Global C02 (an unproven issue) is going to result in their larger population building 20x fewer AI data centers than the U.S. with its ample fossil fuel power.

Proof, that even in China, lack of High Voltage DC powerlines creates wind & solar curtailment issues. Reliance on larger fossil fuel sources like coal is unavoidable if new powerlines are not there.

China can force feed powerlines. It's harder in congested urban Western areas. Those powerlines also need to be paid for & are not measured by LCOE+.

Another natural occurrence.

In a June/July poll, 2/3rds of Californians dislike Gavin Newsome's mandate that no new gas vehicles will be sold starting in less than a decade.

This includes large numbers of Democrats & Independents, despite a retained state $3500 tax credit.

Why? Power prices are as high here as outrageous gas costs, but many Californians don't have tech or Hollywood jobs.

They never tell you about the higher depreciation and insurance that cost owners far more than they save on gas.

When they complain about abnormal climate events, why do they never acknowledge El Nino & La Nina?

When there are fewer hurricanes this year, how will they explain it? Will they admit to El Nino wind shear?

4 degrees Celsius, more forest fires (often caused by arson), & lab-grown meat despite more CO2-enhanced grass for real cows.

Hmm, could lack of air conditioning explain EU/UK slow thinking on climate & the A/C solution?

EU/UK turn down A/C applications & pays twice what Americans do for electricity.

Even China has 569 million A/C units & produces 80% of that commodity Globally. Why will Europeans buy Chinese Solar & EVs, but not their A/C?
