California, a state whose government has proposed banning fossil fuels entirely, is heavily relying upon them amid a record heat wave swooping across the state.
In fact, California Gov. Newsolini announced in 2020 that he would begin to phase out gasoline-powered cars and that by 2035, the selling of such cars would be pronounced illegal.
Who needs fossil fuels, right?
Well, it seems like everyone in California does, despite the ignorance of the state’s governor.
According to data shared by the California Independent System Operator, over 40% of the state’s total power grid supply was derived from natural gas on Sunday, marking the largest share of any source.
The peak times for the use of natural gas occurred during nighttime and morning hours because solar electricity is unable to fulfill the state’s electricity demand during those times.
