A study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has deduced that if solar energy continues to be produced at such staggering rates in California, other forms of energy (such as nuclear and wind) will also be affected adversely.
In other words, this problem may not just be a California problem, it may transmogrify into a national crisis.
What can be done to fix this issue?
California has a long road ahead to make sure this situation doesn’t get any worse. One possible fix would be to scale up California’s power grid. That option, however, would be undoubtedly expensive.
Another possible solution would be to ship the extra power off to other states in need, though that plan would likely meet with transportation and storage complications.
Whatever the solution, California won’t be able to get out of this situation without spending some serious cash. With 2020 nearly around the corner, we won’t have to wait long to see what the golden state will do next.
