  1. Clownifornia: highest personal, corporate, fuel and sales taxes in the USA. Plus, an historic $97.5 billion budget SURPLUS for FY 2022-2023. And yet the state seems unable to figure out how to operate a reliable power grid. Oh, wait! They decommissioned the San Onofre and Rancho Seco nuclear power plants which (combined) produced over 3700 MWe of much needed power. And they WERE in the process of decommissioning the Diablo Canyon plant (2256 MWe) for 2024/2025. But, OOPS, the California Energy Commission and CAISO warned in 2021 that the state may have summer blackouts in future years as a result of Diablo's closure coinciding with the shutdown of four natural gas plants of 3.7GW total capacity, and the inability to rely on imported electricity during West-wide heat waves due to reduced hydroelectric capacity (from the decades-long drought) and the closure of coal plants. A 2021 report from researchers at MIT and Stanford states that keeping Diablo Canyon running until 2035 would REDUCE the state's carbon emissions from electricity generation by 11% every year, save the state a cumulative $2.6 billion (rising to $21 billion if kept open until 2045), and improve the reliability of the grid. But, hey, who needs electricity anyway, right? We can all just sit in the dark and munch on our hummus and celery stalks while pendejos like Gavin Nuisance and others just stand around and dither. Sometimes people get the politicians they deserve.
