You expect politicians in California to tell you the truth? All they are interested in is getting elected. They really don’t care what happens. The only way I see out of this is for a small home electric generation system. Like small generators that are extremely efficient.
In my Northern Tool catalog they have a 1600 running Watt generator which uses 1 gallon of gas for 3 hours of runtime or 4.8 kWh per gallon. A bigger generator uses 6 gallons of gas for 8 hours at half load (3000 Watts) or 4 kWh per gallon. A big 15kW gasoline generator uses 10 gallons to produce 6.75kW for 8 hours or 5.4 kWH per gallon.
I think the scaling would continue pretty well and especially well if you could figure out a way to distribute the power use evenly through the day in a small community. In the more limited situations of home use, you should be able to to turn down or even turn off the generator for extended periods. Even with those measures, the electricity will be quite expensive, 37 cents a kWh for the big generator with gas at $2/gallon.
