Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power (wapo.st)

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 you had read the article, you’d know that they are.

To cope, CAISO is selling some excess power to nearby states; California is also planning to install additional storage and batteries to hold solar power until later in the afternoon.

don’t just read the headlines y’all. not a good look.

Yeah, sorry I missed that single sentence in the article that is so plastered with ads that my phone has trouble displaying the page. I’ll be sure to do better next time.

The site is serious crap on mobile. Between all the poppins and the ads reloading to make it jump around as you read. It’s damn hard to read a full article on a lot of these news sites.

cool. still not really an excuse to make an uninformed comment. get an ad blocker or a browser with a reader mode before spreading misinformation like that lol.

I mean, it’s a pretty good excuse. The sites job is to inform people and they do a shit job of it. I’m literally checking lemmy on my phone while taking a break so when some link leads to a site that’s damn near unreadable I’m not spending my entire break futzing with settings to make it readable. Like I said, I’ll do better next time.

oops sorry i read “i’ll do better next time” as sarcasm at first. that’s on me, totally my fault.

idk what app you use but Voyager has a setting that lets me open all links in reader mode. i believe other apps i have tried also have this option. and adblock plus works great 👍
