Natural gas is still the state's largest energy source, followed by solar, wind, hydro and nuclear
Some things are changing in California’s mix of energy sources for electricity generation, but others are not.from carbon-free sources by 2045, the amount of renewable sources in California’s power mix has grown dramatically in the past 10 years. But the largest single source of generation is still natural gas, a fossil fuel..
But in more recent years, the proportion of natural gas in California’s energy mix has not moved much, hovering each year since 2016 between 33 and 38 percent. said, according to Associated Press. “We’re working with all the energy institutions to do that, but we are not there yet.”Generation from utility-scale solar experienced a healthy bump last year, accounting for 17 percent of California’s energy mix., means generation large enough to have a discernible effect on the operation of a power network — generally, at least 1 megawatt.

Natural selection can slow evolution, maintain similarities across generationsNew research suggests that natural selection, famous for rewarding advantageous differences in organisms, can also preserve similarities. The researchers worked with a plant called wild radish and its stamens, or pollen-producing parts, two of which are short and four are long. Roughly 55 million years ago, wild radish ancestors had stamens of equal length. The team selectively bred -- or artificially selected -- wild radish to reduce the difference in stamen length and return the plant to a more ancestral look. This shows that today's wild radish and, likely, its family members still have the requisite genetic variability to evolve, but natural selection is preserving its different stamen lengths.
