Green energy is working fine. The grid operator declares their little emergency, people conserve power and optional loads are disconnected, and everyone is none the wiser. It's really the perfect triumph of regulated market forces.
As for nuclear, it is disappointing that people can't see through PG&E's little tin cup scam. If we give them at least $1.4 billion, we will get at most 10 more years of Diablo. If we spend the same amount on wind, we'll get the same energy in the 10 years, and then we'll get 30 more years. It's a no-brainer and they should just kick PG&E in the teeth instead.
