I wonder how much power the 1,100 or so residents of Alpine County in the Eastern Sierra on the Nevada border use?
Mountain country, no air conditioners in Alpine County.
These particular blackouts arent because of ack of power supply/electricity, theyre because of the danger of forest fire igniting or being ignited by PG&Es power lines.
So its a problem created by the lack of tree thinning and forest management that has made Californias forests a tinder box
