If I read this correctly this is just what was generated IN cali. It does not count that they buy a shit load of energy from states like Wyoming that produces a lot of energy from natural gas and coal.

From the post:

>Over the past year, solar generation surpassed natural gas to become California’s leading source of electricity, a milestone expected to persist. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), processed by Ember’s US Electricity Data Explorer, shows that in the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas.

It's also easy to have a high solar useage grid when you don't give two fucks about how much the customers have to pay. Literally the only power prices higher in the US are in Hawaii, and at least they have the excuse of being a fucking island.

That would probably change in a big way if Hawaii took advantage of their volcanoes to generate geothermal electricity like Iceland does.

Good. They are phasing out hydrocarbons. Good luck
