California

California utilities won't push back against CA's aggressive renewable energy targets (although they don't necessarily think they are even possible), and the PUC will approve whatever the utilities says it will cost to implement these targets. Example: It will definitely cost a fortune to extend the life of PG&E's Diablo Canyon nuclear plant beyond its original planned service life, but that's what the governor wants (so the lights don't go out under his watch), so I expect that the PUC is going to approve whatever it ultimately costs.

Although I don't live in California anymore, I did for 54 years and spent the first part of my career as a power plant engineer for SCE, so I tend to read anything related to the energy markets in CA.
