Don’t see any problem. Doesn’t every CA’ian homeowner have solar panels on the roof, and monster batteries in the basement, with backup windmill in the backyard?
If it’s windy enough to shut the power, the windmills will supply everything.
And, if everything goes caput, at least they can drive their coal-powered electric cars to a shelter...
The fella who died was someone else’s grandfather. No one gets outraged. Just a few family members. Do the asshats care? They’ll find a way to move on.
Not allowed to have batteries. You have to put excess on the grid and guess what, they don’t compensate you for it.
at least they can drive their coal-powered electric cars to a shelter...

No on the solar cells. The solar cells were mandatory, but the extra $$$ battery banks were not. Most people just went with the solar cells to be compliant, thinking they’d at least have power in the daytime if the grid went down.
But...the mandatory solar cell installations are geared towards providing grid power, not to power the individual homes. So, when the grid goes down, the solar cells also go down.

No they don’t...
Apparently you don’t personally know a lot of “Ca’ian” (???) Californian homeowners —I have family there, and they don’t have solar panels and “monster batteries” in the basement nor a backup windmill in the backyard.
