Excerpt:

Policymakers in California have made some of the country’s most ambitious commitments to reducing climate-changing emissions. State lawmakers voted last year to set a target of 100% renewable and zero-carbon energy by 2045. And city leaders in Los Angeles have committed to generating all of the city’s electricity from clean, green sources and to make the city carbon neutral by 2050.

Still, California’s electrical grid has been so dependent on fossil fuels for so long that it can be unnerving for utilities — and downright scary for their customers — to mothball their old carbon-spewing power plants. A case in point: Until recently, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power was planning to spend $2.2 billion to rebuild three natural-gas-fueled power plants along the coast. That investment would have kept L.A. reliant on fossil fuels for several more decades, and it would have sucked up money that could otherwise have been spent transitioning the local electrical grid to 100% renewable power.
