It is obscene that the country’s largest (in terms of population), richest state has one of the worst power grids in the country, but welcome to California, circa 2021. For years the state has been suffering under increasingly worse drought conditions not due to ‘human-caused climate change’ but due instead to a change in weather […]

Catastrophic drought puts a strain on California’s hydropower supply
The widespread drought gripping the western U.S. has drastically reduced California’s hydropower supply.

Hydroelectric power is generated by capturing the energy of water falling over dams to produce electricity. When water levels in rivers or reservoirs […]

Installing solar panels over canals could save California 65 billion gallons of water a year, researcher claims
Brandi McKuin of the University of California, Santa Cruz claims that covering California’s canals with solar panels can save the drought-prone state around 65 billion gallons of water every year. She explained that canopies of solar panels would provide shade to the canal water during the summer months. This, in turn, would save enough water to irrigate 50,000 acres […]
