Last week, California's grid operator approved a $7.3 billion plan to build thousands of miles of transmission lines.
The plan will help the state build:
- 17 GW of solar
- 8 GW of wind
- 1 GW of geothermal
A decade ago, gas displaced coal as America’s top electricity source. Now gas faces disruption by a powerful combination: renewables + batteries https://t.co/KDbLCLGJoE
