Meltdown @ Moss Landing

The MELTDOWN @ MOSS LANDING public briefing packed them in on Cannery Row.  A hundred citizens came out for this CASI civic education event at Wave Street Studios, a sign of civic health, especially given the terribly grim topic. I participated reluctantly. Duty called.

Dr. Francois Melese opened the briefing, followed by me, soon joined by two victims of Vistra’s Battery Bomb: the analytic Larry Moore & the heroic Liza Schmidt — Supermom.

I then ceded the stage to my scientific hero, Indiana Hogan, better known as Dr. C. Michael Hogan, eminent scientist and advisor to American Presidents. Indy covered the science of the meltdown and its aftermath, sobering everyone right the hell up. 

I then led the audience through a round of Follow the Money, showing that Vistra Corp torched $500 mill in public funds subsidizing its massive monument to "renewable energy". That half-bill pork-pie wouldn't have been returned even if Moss Landing hadn’t exploded.

Green Energy tarnishes the Golden State.

Pork-pie revealed, our attention turned to Land Use in the Golden State. 

California is the most beautiful state in America the Beautiful & one of the most beautiful places on Earth. That starts at Eden’s Gate - my name for Moss Landing - and extends to Yosemite, Point Lobos, Pinnacles, Mt. Lassen, Shasta, Tahoe, J Tree and many more. 

Eden's Gate: Moss Landing before the Meltdown

California Land must not be squandered.

Solar & Wind Farms squander thousands of times as much land as cheap, clean NatGas. Solar & wind are simply Bad Energy, and are metastasizing across the California landscape.

NatGas & Nuclear are Good Energy. Solar & Wind are Bad Energy.

Battery Plants enable Bad Energy, then explode.

Battery Plants provide cover for Solar & Wind Farms to maintain the fiction that they are viable grid-scale sources of electricity. That is not deserving of public money or risk of disaster. Battery Plants cost a fortune, a chunk of which is paid for with squandered subsidies. Worse, they explode in the most heinous way possible. 

What if the shoe was on the other foot?

Shoe On The Other Foot exercises are quite instructive with anything political these days. 

The Meltdown @ Moss Landing would have attracted ten times the attention were it a nuclear disaster, a la Three Mile Island, or fossil fuel. Three Mile Island was a major national story, receiving thousands of media mentions in the ten months after that 1979 incident. Conversely, Moss Landing got a measly hundred media mentions in the ten months since January 16, 2025, primarily regional and niche at that. It never became a national story.

Never mind that the plume from the Meltdown @ Moss Landing was more toxic than from Three Mile Island, the infamous accident that killed the nuclear power industry for half a century. Renewable Energy gets a pass to break the rules, a travesty hiding in plain sight.
