It's pretty amazing what's happening right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mann says he's heard from all three campaigns, which are focusing on volunteer lists, identifying local chairs and delegate selection.

Then comes the hard part -- convincing Cruz supporters to vote for Kasich where the Ohio governor runs strongest (like the San Francisco Bay Area) and educating Kasich supporters to vote for Cruz in the most conservative parts of California, where the Texas senator is strongest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Success, Stutzman says, requires a sophisticated ground game and education campaign in every single congressional district. \"The Republicans in Marin County and East L.A. are just as critical as the ones in Orange County and in Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s district in Bakersfield,\" Stuztman said. Noting that conservatives in places like Marin aren't used to hearing from their party, Stutzman joked, \"Some Republican in West Hollywood is about to become very popular.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the moment, Kasich shows no signs of dropping out. If he does at some point before the June 7 primary here, Stutzman says, the effort would simply become a pro-Cruz campaign to stop Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An open convention is within sight,\" Stutzman says, adding that people are beginning to understand \"the damage a nominee like Trump would do to the Republican Party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unexpected relevance of California's primary has county chairs hopping. \"There's a lot of excitement,\" says Scott Mann, GOP chairman for Riverside County. \"It's created a lot of buzz and free media.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mann says many Republicans who left the party for one reason or another are re-registering so they can vote in the closed GOP primary. \"They're coming home to vote for Trump, Cruz or Kasich -- it's all over the place,\" Mann says. \"We're even getting some Democrats converting so they can vote for John Kasich. It's pretty amazing what's happening right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mann says he's heard from all three campaigns, which are focusing on volunteer lists, identifying local chairs and delegate selection. So which campaigns are most together and best organized?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'd say Cruz, Kasich and Trump in that order,\" Mann says, echoing a common sentiment that Trump is living on free media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mann wouldn't say on the record which candidate he's supporting, but he has been selected to be a delegate for one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking ahead to the state Republican Party convention in Burlingame April 29-May 1, it's sure to be a real doozy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Kasich and Cruz are confirmed speakers. \"We invited all three at the same time,\" says GOP Vice Chair Harmeet Dhillon. \"Trump was invited but hasn't yet confirmed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to worry. \"I think the candidates will essentially camp out here for the month of May,\" says Stutzman. \"There's a big fight for the soul of the party going on.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Let the judges decide. If you keep that separation of powers, you keep faith with the American tradition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s ballot measure also lets nonviolent inmates earn credit for good behavior.

Developers in Wyoming, which has a monstrous wind resource but practically nobody to use it, are especially keen to send wind power California’s way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has largely cut off new out-of-state renewables, but that could change. The Legislature last year opened the door to expanding the Independent System Operator, and CAISO has been talking up a plan to bring in PacifiCorp, which serves around 1.8 million customers in six Western states, including California’s far north and big chunks of Utah and Wyoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.caiso.com/Documents/StudyBenefits-PacifiCorp-ISOIntegration.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A recent report\u003c/a> commissioned by CAISO and PacifiCorp suggested a merger could help solve a problem that comes with the rapid growth of solar power generation: The grid can handle only so much power at one time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since solar power is generated only during daylight hours and ramps up rapidly after sunrise, it could create what amounts to an overload and force grid operators to curtail the amount of solar power flowing into the system.

It applies to all forms of solar, but will especially aid utility solar, Del Chiaro said. She expects it to continue to thrive in California, although she suspects most new plants will be in the 5 MW to 20 MW range as opposed to the 50 MW and larger facilities that have been built in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the tax credit won’t be enough to keep rooftop solar growing, Del Chiaro added. The key there, she said, is the potential for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/2014/11/24/california-utilities-and-solar-companies-battle-over-electricity-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changes in net metering\u003c/a>, the policy of compensating small-system owners at the retail rate for the solar power they generate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utilities around the country, including in California, say net metering results in non-solar users carrying an unfair burden in maintaining a grid that benefits all. They’re pushing for reduced solar payments and/or new fees for solar adopters. In December, the California Public Utilities Commission proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/solar-789435-proposed-utilities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maintaining the full retail rate\u003c/a> for net metering, with only modest new fees. The commission could vote on that proposal as early as Jan. 28.\u003c/p>\n\n",
