<p>The climate change impacts occurring now across CA and the west will put extreme pressure on existing electric grids regardless of how the energy is sourced. Curtailments and blackouts happen most often when the utility is seeking to protect themselves from litigation caused by their infrastructure.

<p>The climate change impacts occurring now across CA and the west will put extreme pressure on existing electric grids regardless of how the energy is sourced.

The fact that this problem isn't going away and consumer solar and connected micro-grids are such a good solution is reflected in the recent CA law requiring solar in all new residential construction.</p>
