I believe ever since we had the rolling blackouts in the early 2000's we've been purchasing more and more energy from power plants in Utah, as regulation in the state makes it difficult to build new ones.
That is true, but I believe there are more than one coal powered plant in the Intermountain system. My main point is that California will just switch to purchasing power from other areas and claim that they are using all clean energy. I
'm assuming they don't consider natural gas as clean energy.
