The system succeeded in meeting this demand, but the way it did so, through increased use of conventional energy, and in spite of mediocre to poor performance from renewables, has raised serious questions about the country's ability to withstand similar shocks in the future, when much conventional capacity, mostly coal, will have retired without replacement.

Troy, even if we place an optimistically low cost on the damages caused by CO2 emissions of $ 50 a tonne, it is clear we should be doing much more to encourage rooftop solar deployment and renewable generating capacity in general.

With Governor Brown's recent Executive Order instructing all of California's state agencies to take climate change issues into account when making public policy decisions, doing infrastructure planning, and making regulatory decisions, a golden opportunity is arising in the Golden State for advocates of the renewables to force California to adopt a renewables - only approach to building new or replacement power generation capacity.
