  1. We need more onshore wind, geothermal, offshore wind, biomass, hydropower, and other clean sources so everything is not so dependent on solar PV and batteries.

    solar PV and batteries are great but we need diversity.

  2. Not sure if article confusing MW and MWh.

    Again, it is really easy to look at California statistics in real time at https://www.caiso.com/todays-outlook/supply so just bookmark that or get their phone app.

    At this moment 8:15pm, NG is generating 10GW and batteries are discharging 5.8GW.
