Again, please show me where in the article that it states that the
reason for rolling blackouts is specifically tied to shutting down coal
plants.

Good lord, man... you're dense.

No new plants.

Phasing out all remaining coal plants. 40% of LA's power comes from coal. (see above article for "cite")

Original article states the loss of "one" plant will likely cause rolling blackouts. Grid and capacity stretched thin already.

Now introduce new loads on the grid from electric cars... say just 10% of their car registrations. 3.2 million electric cars. 1 out of 10.

Think man, think!

Gotta go cut the grass, then tailgate at the game. Have fun everyone!

I'm sorry, please show me where any of those points to reducing coal
fired plants as the culprit for rolling blackouts... It's because of the
antiquated grid, and of course you anti-technology righties don't want
to even think about fixing it with smart grids.
