Interesting read, but it doesn't exactly point out that the units' needed for reliability if not there would trigger rolling blackouts to manage the demand the supply can meet--which isn't going to make any friends during heat (or cold) storms. Same with Alyso Canyon and the need for gas storage inside LA--particularly in winter when gas flowing into the state can be impinged by other states' own increased gas demand (from among things dropping coal).

Maybe the future transition from gas to electricity will help Alyso get retired, but I still expect gas generation--particularly the ones that DONT run 98% of the time--continue to be needed for the peak days.

And given the massive amount of additional electric generating capacity that's needed for the new demand in a decarbonized state, it will be many years before we're closer to supply / demand equilibrium.

has a very long (5 hr?) public comment yesterday on in SF. Lot of news stories on that. But they also adopted on-bill financing for non-residential customer energy projects. See docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs

Once again, state regulatory agency proposes to increase natural facility – Daily News dailynews.com/2023/08/08/once-

Most folks don't get how critical gas storage is, particularly for the . Without it gas deliveries, particularly in winter, can get disrupted during extreme cold and high demand. Think Texas freeze. And its not like gas storage can be done anywhere--it relies on geological formations (vs building housing there). Yes, we need to phase FF out, but fully closing Aliso would create large risk without reliable substitute infrastructure
