Comment on California Must Triple Rate of Carbon Emissions Reductions to Reach 2030 Target

Comments

If California tackled their electricity generation they would put a huge dent in it. California only has numbers for 2022 and not 2023 but 49% natural gas is not going to cut it. I would say they should build nuclear but that's not sufficient for some people.

Even if approved today, it'll probably take a decade or more to build a nuclear power plant in CA.

Or anywhere else, for that matter. Even in China, which has the most recent experience, you're talking close on ten years, realistically.

Better get approving then.
