Oregon not only sets bad policy but it virtue signals all the time. I retired from there several years ago. He was forced out of his part-time position at age 78 in 2019. He had retired from the UT PUC prior to getting his OR PUC job.
That's easy to achieve. There just won't be much electricity, leading to no production of anything and eventually no humans. All part of Agenda 21/30. It gave Google a sweetheart deal a dozen years ago when it built a cloud server there.
I wonder who was in charge of that debacle. Massive solar project out west produce another problem.
A local who has two palm trees and no house on his property saw his electricity bill go from $15 to $1,800 in just one month, as his electric irrigation pump that keeps the trees alive worked much harder to reach underground water reserves that have fallen due to the development’s extensive use of the groundwater supply. https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/27/california-desert-solar-projects-aquifers-habitat-locals/

Interesting. I am not sure the date of the Net Zero mandate, but Oregon is demanding ALL electricty be green tarded by 2035.
Marxist doom loop in my opinion.

South Africa has an app on everyone phone that tells them how long todays black out will be. Mostly solar now.
