Remember the 'brown outs' in Ca. back in the early 2000's. I was working out there and while eating breakfast at the motel one morning, the conversation among the patrons was the recent 'brown outs'. I was reading a newspaper, but could hear everything being said. Finally one of them asked me what I thought. I dont imagine I told them what they wanted to hear..... I said that they were the ones who voted not to build power plants. They were going to buy their power from other states. Now that they hadn't paid the other states for the electricity they had used and the other states were cutting off their supply, they needed to learn to live in the dark. Also told them I was from La. and didn't feel the least bit sorry for them. If they wanted, I'm pretty sure La. would sell them some electricity.
They just stared as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing. I went back to reading my newspaper.
