Reliability-Wary California Will Procure More Energy Resources to Get It Through Summer

3. Personally, I'm heartily tired and unbelievably disgusted by "by 'such and such year'" language.

I've been hearing it my whole adult life, beginning with Amory Lovins' "by 2000" rhetoric in 1976.

This language is nothing more than an announcement that one is demanding of future generations what one proved incompetent to do one's self.

California will be in even worse shape "by 2045" than it is now, because Californians - and this certainly applies well beyond California's borders to many other regions - did nothing more than lie to themselves.

In 2045, California will be experiencing longer and worse periods of extreme heat than it s experiencing now, along with all the chemical and metal waste of the cockamamie battery scheme, the rotting hulks of wind farms, vast piles of electronic waste from spent solar cells, leachates from the insulation of a unnecessarily vast network of wiring, burned forestests, dried up reservoirs, and yet people are saying that with all this waste and destruction, they'll be "carbon free."

All this will take place because people in this generation said "Diablo Canyon" is "too dangerous," as if all of the above wasn't "too dangerous."

This is a crime against humanity of the future, and in fact, a crime against humanity of now.

Even if people lie to themselves and others, numbers don't.
