加州的可再生能源可以满足电网需求数小时，但高成本使家庭预算紧张。 California's renewable energy meets grid demand for some hours, but high costs strain household budgets.

加利福尼亚州声称其可再生能源在 48 天内有 40 天满足了电网需求，但这仅适用于特定时间，而不是全天。 California claims its renewable energy has met grid demand for 40 out of 48 days, but this only holds true for specific hours, not the entire day. 该州要求公用事业公司购买清洁能源，导致高电费和客户债务。 The state mandates utilities to buy clean energy, leading to high electricity rates and customer debt. 例如，Ivanpah Solar 项目尽管获得了巨额补贴，但也面临着运营问题。 For instance, the Ivanpah Solar project, despite receiving huge subsidies, has faced operational issues. 住宅电费在过去十年中飙升了 80% 以上，导致许多家庭拖欠账单。 Residential electricity rates have surged by over 80% in the last decade, causing many households to fall behind on bills.
