I worked for PG&E for 30 years and did many "Transmission
Load Flows" and "econ studies". About 18% of the energy leaving the power plants end up as losses.
By the way the California energy crisis was caused by low
rain in the Northwest. PG&E normally gets about 25% of it's peak power during the summer from the 500kv Lines coming from the north.

Energy must be looked at from a "systems" point of view.IMHO.
Solar power actually works today in many remote areas.

IMHO. The California energy crisis was the indirect result of 5 members of the CPUC. And nothing ever happened to these 5 members.
