@ancientdunlop California is very forward-thinking with regard to extirpating nasty carbon emissions within its borders. Of course, it can't produce the electricity it needs, so it's going to buy electricity from coal-fired plants in Wyoming, this winter. Transmission losses over such long distances approach 50%, so Wyoming will be burning twice as much coal as California would, if California weren't so deluded about the actual trade-offs involved. They - as you - just see what you want things to be, and you want to force things along. I get it. But when you use force, things tend to go sideways. Why not instead focus on teaching good science and permaculture principles? Spread the good word. Don't look for a hammer to hit dumb people in the head with.

@JohnCarterRocks Unless you're advocating for nuclear power, you don't know what you're talking about. Going on a battery-manufacturing rampage is not necessarily good for the planet. And it looks like Germany, which is "ahead" of the USA in denying itself fossil fuels, is going to see significant deforestation, as millions will be forced to use wood to heat their homes, this winter. I know you have your eye on a better future, but you don't really understand the realities of the present or the true costs of creating the specific future you want to force everyone to occupy.
