I don't understand why they don't go to planned blackouts instead of unplanned blackouts. This may actually drive the demand down and price with it. Plus maybe the population would decline with people migrating to South Dakota and all (for those of you that are not living in the SF Bay Area, S.D. has been advertising extensively on the radio as a good place to do business with ample energy).
The argument against such planned blackouts are, Crypts, Bloods, F-troop, et al. (gangs/looters, for those whom aren't familiar) IOW, physical security. Numerous blackouts have proven that social predators take advantage of situations where no one can see them, the power is out, and the police are otherwise occupied.
