  Aug 18, 202633 min

  Monks & Merrill Hour 1 -  California’s ambitious green-energy push is facing some serious questions.

Guillermo Bautista Alderete of the California Independent System Operator joins us to break down California’s record-setting solar power and the state’s evolving energy grid. Plus, Susan Shelley of the Southern California News Group weighs in on whether California’s green-energy agenda is leaving residents in the dark. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
