Blackouts KILL people. I wish more people understood that - when the power goes off people die.
The only way to decarbonize everything is to electrify everything. The only way to electrify everything is by making electricity cheap and reliable. Hence our goal is clean, cheap, reliable, plentiful electricity - anything opposed to that goal is by definition preventing us from dealing with climate change.
Second paragraph under "Bad " - I think you mean "fission" not "fusion".
As to the rest - most of the Net zero plans being rolled out won't work. I can show it mathematically; they are both theoretically and experimentally proven not to work. We've known this since 2010 or so. Everyone in the energy industry knows this. It's bizarre, really - listening to people tout plans I know for a fact won't work.
I could develop a low-cost plan to make California net zero in about 10 years, but first we'd have to toss out most of what people are proposing and planning. No "smart" grid, no transmission upgrades. Using off the shelf technology.

And if you do, please post the url to it here. thanks
You should create a substack and write up your California plan. People will read it.
Thanks for the typo notice - will fix.
