  1. California are leaders in domestic solar as well if you have a compatible EV you can use it to time shift energy usage Millions of batteries connected to the grid at any one time reduces by a huge margin the amount of peaker plants you need or large single use battery storage facilities I had a quick look the state are offering incentives for solar installation + battery storage as well as very high insulation regs

  2. People leave for lots of reasons I believe the main one is cost of housing in California if you work in IT such as me since Covid you don't need to be in the office plenty people I know have relocated out of the city and sometimes state where they work. The figure for California is 1/2 a million by the way. People in my socio-economic bracket take their liberal polotics with them as well and want decent healthcare, schools and regulations against polution + net zero and the move away from fossil fuel The counties in the US that vote Democrat account for 70% of US GDP

  4. The issue with Republicans is they keep putting forward ideologues most people are moderate and the GOP are economically illiterate trickle down supply side economics (Reganomics) doesn't work it creates huge wealth inequality If you look at Texas they claim to be no tax which is a complete lie the tax burden is all on sales /property taxes the bottom 20% of the income scale pay 13% the top 5% pay 3.1% If your educated your also more likely to be socially Liberal and prioritise education healthcare and climate change
