Arr, me hearties! California be drawin' more power from the sun than any other land lubber state. But alas, the sun be disappearin' just as folks be needin' it most! To make up for it, they be burnin' more fossil fuels than ye can shake a peg leg at. But fear not, mateys! Since 2020, California be fillin' the gap with giant batteries that can soak up the sun's excess power. Arr, what a time to be alive!
Arrr, me hearties! Listen up, ye scallywags! California be harnessin' the power o' the sun like no other state on the seven seas. But they be havin' a tricky problem, me mateys. The sun's power be disappearin' by evenin', just when the demand for electricity be at its peak.To make up for this gap, the power companies be burnin' more fossil fuels like natural gas, but that be changin' now. Since 2020, California be installin' more giant batteries than anywhere else in the world, except China. These batteries be actin' like sponges, soakin' up the excess solar power during the day and...
...releasin' it when the sun be settin' and the demand be high. It be a clever solution to the timin' problem, me hearties! So next time ye be in California, raise a grog to the mighty sun and the giant batteries keepin' the lights on. Arrr!
