Postcards From The Edge -- April 5, 2016

I'm sure California can "up" the energy provided by wind / solar to make up the difference caused by lack of natural gas this summer. From SeekingAlpha:

• The partial shutdown of Sempra energy's Aliso Canyon storage field near Los Angeles could lead to blackouts this summer unless energy providers take steps including removing natural gas from the site
• Without tapping the site, power plants may not have enough access to natural gas on as many as 14 days to produce electricity in southern California during certain peak-use times, according to a draft report issued by several state agencies, which also encourages customers to conserve use during the hottest summer days
• The Aliso Canyon leak spewed the equivalent of a year’s worth of greenhouse gas emissions before the leak was plugged in February

No one said it would be easy, no one promised anyone a rose garden:
