In reply to vonborks. Solar can be stored quite effectively by pumping water uphill - oh wait California doesn't have anymore water

In California Solar Farm over-generation is the Achilles Heel of Solar-on-the-Grid. The dream that some new practical cost effective storage technology and an up-graded Grid/Distribution Program capable of handling the overload (in real time) is just around the corner is just a dream. I stand by my 2013 predictions that by 2020 Solar-on-the-Grid will have proven to be a multi-billion $ folly and subsidies and tax incentives will have ended. California overabundance of natural gas will provide all the electricity needed at a fraction of the cost of Solar. The big problem in post 2020 will be finding enough certified hazards waste sites to bury the tens of millions of solar panels now cluttering the once environmental friendly California landscape…

In reply to Bill. We'll race to get it done on the high speed rail, which also won't cost Californians one single penny...ha!

California will outbid the pacific northwest for its own clean green abundant hydropower, thereby raising rates drastically for PNW consumers. Problem solved.

In reply to Queeg. Perhaps it's the redistribution of wealth via energy, healthcare, and education. The more I closely watch, the more convinced the socialism agenda is progressing. Something does smell fishy!

Rest assured someone, somehow gets big money from putting the middle class back in the cave without a wheel.

Comrades,

Creating a false economy with new bogus energy entities should be for Desi to investigate…..

Something smells real bad about this stuff……

In reply to ricky65. To contradict the man-made global warming elitist check out the 206 year solar cycle that produced the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum circa 1600 and 1800 respectfully for proof.

In reply to desmond.

Now hold on, Desi.
As you know, all climate and weather related events, even those contrary to the computer models, are still caused by the underlying phenomena of global warming.
The fact that the planet might be headed into a long, disastrous, global cooling cycle simply proves the overall theory of global warming.
You see, the warming trend is often disguised by local weather events like glaciers covering most of North America.
These anomalies are easily explained in conformance with the theory as just local ‘weather’ events. It needs to be that way so that the ordinary simpletons not properly schooled in the Church of Global Apocalypse can easily understand.
The fact the warming might be delayed and taking a 10,000 year or so hiatus does not disprove the overall theory that the warming is inevitable.
That’s the beauty of it. There is no contradictory data to refute the mantra of the global elitists. Basically, it’s all good..or bad weatherwise!
My advice is for you to just chill out. ( yuk,yuk!….a little MMGW humor for ya!)
After all, who are you going to trust? Noted Climate experts like Barack Obama, Al Gore, or Jerry Brown….or your own lying eyes?

If global cooling is where we are headed, I think an inquisition and Salem like trial with common sense punishment for the global warming advocates, Steyer, Gore, etc. Is in order. Look back to Salem Mass witches trial and how they bestowed justice on the guilty. A bonfire in sub freezing Carmel…marshmallows, anyone?

Global warming may not be man-made, rather by a more powerful sun according to John L. Casey at http://www.spaceandscience.net/. Casey has warned Obama and Brown in the press release…Letter to President Obama Requesting He Prepare the Country for Dangerous Cold Climate and…Press Release 2-2013 Global Climate Status Report.
I hope there is man-made global warming as mankind can survive warm and will struggle in the cold due to solar hibernation as predicted by Casey. I urge my fellow citizens to look for yourself to what Casey has researched.
