Is This Ironic Or What?

In The Peoples Republic of California they have regulated and taxed gasoline allegedly to encourage people to stop using fossil fuels and use electric cars instead.

Then, they turned off the electricity!

More irony for you: According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2017, the United States generated about 4,015 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity at utility-scale facilities. About 62.7% of the electricity generated was from fossil fuel (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), with 30.1% attributed from coal. Those electric car batteries have to be charged, somehow!!

@EugenieLaBorgia Let's not forget that an electric generating facility is far more efficient that thousands of smaller ones.

Lot's of bad science implied in these comments..

Just sayin
