Conservation will solve the California electricity problem. After all, rolling blackouts save electricity. This is part of the problem. Not only is this more expensive than coal or nuclear power, but it is causing a large increase in the cost of natural gas for the nation as a whole. Great wisdom here.
Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest and potentially the cheapest source of electric power.
But ONLY if the design of nuclear power stations is removed from the environmental zealots and politicians and left to the engineers. Engineers can solve these problems as we have always done in the past if political roadblocks are removed. Maybe politicians and environmental zealots should be cut off from the electric power grid until they sort out why no new power plants have been built in California in ten years. Maybe this was a good idea.
