Some firms are offering battery banks to power the home during an the rolling blackouts. Sort of like a silent generator. It's a funny thing, expensive electricity and blackouts the same thing as Kabul, Afghanistan had. How far the state as dropped.

As a lifelong Californian (until moving here to please my wife and try something new) I can say the PG&E was screwing the California citizen for decades. They had the "old school" politicians in their hip pocket and did pretty much what they wanted with little push back. You name it, they got it, yet we can see the shoddiness of the infrastructure they built. There is some "what goes around, comes around" going on now with a political generation more interested in quality of life of the citizens and holding utilities and large corps responsible for their messes.
Many roll their eyes at what happens in California. I would remind them that change moves east in the USA so get ready for it.
