And by shear luck or coincidence ev won't need a charge until 9pm instead of 4.. Or those who work graveyard will have enough of a charge from 9-11pm. to make it to work. Got it.
I've lived in the southeast for 25 years -- red states and in both states I have been in a situation where there was a run on gas.
Is that any different?
I've never experienced power restrictions in the South. The only time gas availability has been an issue is as a result of a hurricane/severe storms, and that is short-lived. I learned many years ago to rotate 15-20 gallons of fuel storage for generator use in addition to maintaining propane storage. Owning gas and propane generators is key to maintaining cold food storage during a power outage.
The electric bills in NY are nothing compared to Ca, when I stayed in SD my friend would shut the tv off on me saying she didn't want a high electric bill. How do you live like that? I was glad to come home to NY. Just wait until you can't charge your EV because it's too expensive!

That's weird. I lived in California during the Enron era of rolling blackouts, and I never felt so pinched that I could not turn on the TV.

In fact two people I stayed with were warning me about not using too much electricity, one was a top realtor and another one was a supervisor at an aerospace company, so they weren't poor by any means.
Yes, that's what I meant. And so Californians can simply stew in their own juices now.
But...Newsom has his eyes on the Oval Office.
