Green conundrum

Use renewable money for a grid upgrade?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is not the only one fed up with PG&E’s latest round of power shutoffs.
Republicans representing the area affected by last year’s deadly Camp Fire are calling on the utility to spend more money to harden its grid and buy better equipment.

But the mechanism for their proposal is unique: Temporarily halting a popular state law Democrats passed last year requiring California to get 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2045.

Spend on renewables and spew tons for CO2 from fires, or reverse the policy? What will California environmentalists do?  The calculation is likely too difficult for them.
