Reading up on the news about this, and it seems like the power outage is happening due to the windy, dry weather in the area—and PG&E is wanting to try and prevent wildfires. Apparently their equipment was responsible for one two years ago, and then another a year ago. So, I don’t really think even diesel generators would be an option if this is their intent.
