As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power.

I’ll note that right now, this is a seasonal issue, associated with moderate springtime temperatures when there is a lot of sunshine available.

    If only we hadn’t spent the past four thousand years or so storing electricity chemically and had focused on what to do about sun no shine at night!!! we could have cheap virtually limitless power available. Oh, well, drill up some more dead dino goo!
