You are welcome. As a Senior Legal Researcher and former college science and engineering professor, I've invested about 30,000 hours since 2013 in the important project to extend the life of Diablo Canyon Power Plant beyond 2030.
The independent nonprofit Californians for Green Nuclear Power (CGNP) has a great team of scientists, engineers, economists, and legal professionals. CGNP is getting so good at advocacy that it is likely that Berkshire Hathaway Energy subsidiary PacifiCorp (with about 6,000 MW of coal-fired generation - mostly in Wyoming) invested some of their $2,541,794.12 expended in directly lobbying the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) between 2019-2023 in "encouraging" the CPUC to totally deny CGNP any of its recent intervenor compensation request for over $153,000 that the nonprofit should have received. Please see CGNP's website at https://cgnp.org/why-did-the-cpuc-decide-to-deny-cgnp/ for a February 16, 2024 article, "How Did the CPUC Decide to Deny CGNP Intervenor Compensation?"

We look forward to your feedback after you have read CGNP's article.
Hello, SCG: Thank you for providing something of a written summary of your 2 hour and 10 minute commentary. It would be helpful to identify the start time for your comments regarding energy policy.
Exactly. I wrote the article because there are so many parallels between Germany's and California's energy policies, including the dependence on coal-fired power.
Thank you for the useful compilation and links.

This same deception is everywhere there is regulation. That is the point.
The podcast is on regulation deception and is universally applied.
Great set of resources here. Politicians in California need to pay attention to what happened in Germany to avoid that fate.
