Or hydro-electric, or nuclear, or anything that would have meaningful impact on the state's situation.

More solar and wind are great, but they do not respond well to surges in demand, and there is no current way to store energy either.

So some impressive total production number might sound great, but the reality does not follow unfortunately. For a non-trivial portion of the state, electricity isn't a guarantee throughout the year anymore.

When I lived in LA it was frustrating explaining (to my out of state friends) how bad the power situation was. I cancelled many a DnD game because of it.

I eventually got so sick of it , that I left the state for good. I've never been happier.
