Let's turn to power. A lot of you listening, probably remember and experience to last year's energy blackouts in California to make sure that doesn't happen again this year when temperatures rise the California Public Utilities Commission is directing the state's three big private power companies to find new sources of electricity by this summer. The decision came in a unanimous CPUC vote and affect San Diego Gas Electric, So Cal Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric the expense of finding new energy sources would be passed on to customers. Environmental consumer groups concerned about fossil fuel use opposed the CP use decision, saying there's actually enough energy in the grid to handle a spike in summer demand. Through better power management and in politics, although he lost the election and is in the midst of a post presidential impeachment trial, Donald Trump maintains his grip on the GOP, unhappy with that a group of Republicans and former party officials are discussing the possibility of forming a new center right party. KQED politics, Senator Scott Shaffer spoke with one California legislator who's participated in that discussion. A week ago, more than 100, Republicans and former party members across the country held a conference call to discuss ways of distancing themselves from Donald Trump and his influence on the GOP California Assemblyman Chad Mayes. Was there. It's about just fundamental values fundamental. Truth enough with the lies enough with the conspiracies enough defending your own when it's ultimately harming this country, And that's what this group is all about. Mays, who represents parts of Riverside and San Bernadino counties, was first elected as a Republican, even rising to become the party's minority leader in the state Assembly. But in 2017 Mays was stripped of his position punishment for cooperating with Democrats on a climate change bill. Not long after that May's left the GOP, and in November he was re elected as an independent, he says, As it currently stands, the Republican Party is irredeemable. So for those of us on not just Republicans because I talked to a lot of moderate Democrats as well as independents, and they feel like they've got no Home. The Republican Party has lost its mind on there is no organized center. Of course, there are enormous obstacles to creating a new party that could be competitive on a statewide level much less nationally, but may says the status quo is unacceptable to him and many others. For the California report. I'm Scott Shaffer. And now for a preview of our sister show the California reports Weekly magazine this week as part of our ongoing celebration of the California reports. 25th birthday.
