Talk:Energy in California

GW v. GWh

A gigawatt (GW) is a measure of power; a gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a measure of energy. Thus I believe that GW should be changed to GWh in places where the topic is energy storage, such as in the sentence "California requires 1.8 GW of utility storage." in the section "Electricity."

Renewable energy

Suomen Luonto, Finland's largest nature magazine, wrote some years ago that in California there are renewable energy obligations or targets for the energy companies, and not allowed to buy coal energy from the other states. In Finland there is nothing alike. The Finnish government sets energy targets, but the energy companies invests where they want. It seems for me that the most capital is tide in fossil and nuclear energy in Finland. How does the system function in California? Have you increased the share of renewables in California? Please include the info in the article. Watti Renew (talk) 17:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

This is no longer true: San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station : 2 reactors. Operated by Southern California Edison with various owners (SCE; San Diego Gas and Electric; City of Anaheim and the City of Riverside). The reactor was taken off-line a few years ago. The San Onofre wikipedia page gives a good overview of how and why.

Merger proposal for Energy use in California

I propose that Energy use in California be merged into this article. I think that the content in the Energy use in California article can easily be explained in the context of Energy in California, while standardizing the article title. Int21h (talk) 17:59, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
