My state is phasing out coal. Currently it’s less than .5% of the state power supply

So if a California power company buys power from a coal power plant in Utah you equate that to say that California exports pollution. Amazing!

Surely the Utah power plant has a choice to generate power from other sources no?

Don’t worry that deal won’t go on for long, along with the money and jobs. California has a 100% renewable power mandate so it will be phased out. They have been adding a ton of power storage projects to manage the intermittency of renewable power
