    Of course that's a huge part of it everywhere, not just Cali. I'm also in no way saying sorry power companies, but I'm just saying that's a very common and effective mitigation technique to help control a very serious problem.

    I think that's more of a population density and growth vs the grid infrastructure that's in place issue, even here they often ask for energy saving measures during extraordinary weather. 12 percent of the population of the entire country lives there, so there's a ton of power being used and...

    That isn't liberalism, that's failed capitalism. A utility company makes a frig ton, and i can only assume that in California it's a frig ton plus a frig ton.
