Just as vash said, no excitement here in CA. We got a email last week from the local power company suggesting we try limited our usage last Thursday during peak time, but we do that anyway. We use minimal power between 4pm and 9pm. I have our car chargers set to turn off during that peak rate window, and the car is normally charged by then anyway. Also, even on the rare hot days where we run AC, our home-solar still puts more energy back in to the grid than we take out.
There's a certain demographic that likes to try and score points and create sensationalist tripe who are far from knowledgeable about the reality. This is nothing like the problem people who don't live here think it is, or make it out to be. Realistically we've lost power once since we moved to the area in 2014. My power was out more often in Georgia and North Carolina!
