How California can resolve its transmission lines bottleneck
” , Nora Mead Brownell describes the inadequacy of our transmission lines to deliver the tripling of grid capacity we require by 2050. Ms. Brownell fails to mention a far superior solution, which is to co-locate electricity generation with consumption.posited that rooftop solar, if maximized across California, could generate over 74% of our total needs.
We need safer transmission lines but not more of them if we maximize the use of our roofs. Unfortunately, Gov. Newsom’s appointments to the CPUC derailed rooftop solar, echoing faulty logic promoted by PG&E. PG&E wants more highly profitable transmission lines; Californians need much greater local power.The loss of lives on the Titan submersible is an unspeakable tragedy. Their absence is an immeasurable void, a painful reminder of the fragility of humanity.
The numerous resources devoted to recovering the wreckage of the Titan are in the millions. These funds could be redirected toward combating poverty, offering hope to countless lives. We should emphasize the importance of foreign aid in fighting against global hunger and poverty, saving millions of lives annually.
It is a delicate balance, one that requires us to mourn the loss of the passengers while contemplating how resources can be allocated. The truth is, while the lives lost may never be brought back, we hold the ability to save millions of others from similar fates.
