It's funny because it is true.

I bet many of them bough gasoline or diesel powered backup generators. Oh, the irony!

One motivation in our house purchase choice was that it is not "served" by Edison. So we're mostly doing okay. A solar array with battery backup is on the to-do list, but it's an expensive upgrade so I am putting it off until we need a new roof, so that it can all get done in one swell foop.

Because you totally wanted to know that. A diesel backup genset sounds like a sensible addition as well; we'll need to discuss this also. It helps that this is WAY cheaper than the solar/battery monstrosity.

From my research, I've found wind turbines to be more efficient than solar. More up-time on the power gen and greater power/time period.

Go LPG, the fuel never goes bad.

walnut creek here, fucking california is a complete shitshow. gas prices are thru the roof, wildfires are rampant because they stopped doing controlled burns, and everyone blames trump, as if he's the reason your power is being cut.

the fucking idiocracy in california is insane. i am slowly convincing my wife to leave this shithole and move to boise. its far enough inland that we dont deal with earthquakes or flooding, and we'll have beachfront property when all the liberal enclaves fall into the ocean.

in the words of tool, LEARN TO SWIM. i fucking hate this state. i shouldve stayed in massachusetts. i can handle snow, ice, tornadoes, hurricanes, and cold, i CANT stand earthquakes, wildfires, liberals, and idiocy,

No. What's worse though is the stupid names people make up like Cum Alla Herpes and Occasional Cortex.

Commiefornia, where it's illegal to not be rich, but we'll sort of look the other way while you're homeless.

17 counties, I think they said.

And how many letters are in the alphabet? Probably just a coincidence, right?
