California energy expert tells Fox News Digital: 'The burden to the
consumer is going to be ridiculous'

California's electric grid faces years of potential blackouts and failure
as state leaders continue pushing aggressive measures to transition to
renewable energy sources, policy experts tell Fox News Digital.

The state's grid, which is still mainly powered by fossil fuels, is
undergoing a major shift from natural gas and coal power to renewable
power like wind and solar. Simultaneously, state officials are pushing an
electrification of the economy, particularly in the transportation sector
through electric vehicle mandates, which is expected to increase pressure
on the grid.

"California is drastically cutting our dependence on fossil fuels and
cleaning our air," Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a
November announcement unveiling the "world’s first detailed pathway to
carbon neutrality."

The state's plan involves goals to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 85%,
cut oil usage by 94% and deploy more solar and wind capacity over the next
two decades. The aggressive plan to overhaul the state's energy system
came three months after a top California environmental agency moved
forward with a rule requiring all new vehicle sales to be electric by
2035.
