"Yes, you read all of that correctly. California got rid of fossil fuel and nuclear plants in favor of wind and solar plants – even though those sources are unreliable – before ensuring that such plants could meet the demand. One wind plant was unable to generate power Saturday because… drum roll… there wasn't any wind. And the state's solar plants don't store the power generated during the day so they're unable to contribute to capacity when it's dark"
