Personally, I am betting on either nuclear or horses.

After the failure of the VC summer and the money pit that was Vogle no company is going to take the risk of build new nuclear plants.

Why does California want to shut down natural gas electric plants
"Natural gas plants are a large source of greenhouse gases, which warm the planet, toxic gases like ammonia and formaldehyde, and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to Southern California's extreme smog. Nationally, natural gas plants account for about a third of all carbon emissions from energy production."

"During rolling blackouts in 2020, natural gas plants struggled in the heat, “resulting in power loss in combustion turbines, inlet air and cooling system stresses, steam tube leaks, and condenser pump failures,” the California Energy Commission reported"

It’s looks like companies are going to be begging the government to just build the nuclear infrastructure itself and let them run things, the perfect fusion of government/capitalism. (Socialize the risk, privatize the “rewards”.)

I’m pretty sure that that’s from the OP article, but don’t know since, yes, no linkie.
