http://www.marke****ch.com/story/california-moves-quickly-to-block-new-coal-fired-power-plants No new plants. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2011/03/07/207644/news-last-coal-plant-in-pacific-nw-to-shut-down-by-2025-climate-change-will-wreak-havoc-on-britains-coastline-by-2050/?mobile=nc 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. http://www.chacha.com/question/how-many-registered-vehicles-are-there-in-the-state-of-california 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.

Wow. Even my dog can add 1 + 1.

Can your dog show me how decommishoning low output coal fired plants
causes rolling blackouts? Do you realize that if we went to a smart grid
system we wouldn't need nearly the power plants we have now?
