We did something special in California.

For 27 out of 30 days in April – and the last 17 days straight – we have had stretches of time ranging between 15 minutes to 9 hours where the production of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, etc..) exceeded the demand on California’s main energy grid.

Then we exported the excess to other states.

As the Scientific American put it, "It is impossible to understate how monumental this clean, renewable energy milestone is..."

The article continues, "California’s success and all of these plans indicate that fossil fuels with or without carbon capture, bioenergy and nuclear power are not needed to power future grids."

[The future is happening right here, right now: “Something spectacular is happening in the Golden State. California—the fifth-largest economy in the world—has experienced a record-breaking string of days in which the combined generation of wind, geothermal, hydroelectric and solar electricity has exceeded demand on the main electricity grid... It is impossible to understate how monumental this clean, renewable energy milestone is and how quickly supplies have ramped up.”]

Historic stuff, folks. Once again, California is the coming attraction for the rest of the country.

🌱 Hi. Please don’t click away just yet. ☀️

Oil companies paid to qualify for a ballot initiative in California that would let them drill next to schools, daycares and homes. If everyone reading this donated just $20 to help us beat them at the ballot box, we’ll keep millions of kids safe from their pollution. If that sounds worth $20, please make a donation to Gavin Newsom’s ballot measure committee today.
