    And these are the same people who want to force everyone to use electric cars?

    California governor orders ban of new gas-powered cars by 2035

    The state's energy grid has grown increasingly unreliable as the switchover to "renewable energy" has increased.

    There is not always wind or sunny skies to generate electricity at all times.
    And something that many people do not understand in the electric utility sector, it is far easier and less costly to generate power on demand than to be able to store large amounts of power in batteries, so in reality the battery thing has not really proven feasible on a large scale.

    And the same people that demand California go all electric are the ones saying these fires are the new normal.
