JameS... WTF?

The rolling blackouts were to compensate for a lack of supply. An artificially created lack of supply. Powerplants were shutdown months before scheduled overhauls were to take place. It was deliberate manipulation of the market. Power that was being generated in California was being sold to other states as well.

Rolling blackouts were scheduled. The whole intent was to keep power available for essential operations, ie hospitals, communications and transportation. On days of excessive demand, they would black out areas at a particular time of day, and only for 1 hour at a time.
