Solar & Wind Energy and the Electrical Grid

A recent study has shown the electrical grid feasibility of a portfolio of renewable energy far exceeds the target set by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for California. The required grid upgrades could be fairly minor and inexpensive.

The geography and geology of California are quite favorable for several types of renewable energy. That is good, because this state uses quite a bit of electricity. I wish that they could back-off on the natural gas so the rest of us could use it for relatively cheap heat.
