Not everyone in California sold their generating capacity to the Texas oil
industry.  Some of us are lucky enough to be served by Public Utilities.

From the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power FAQ...

Q:  I am a DWP customer. Will I be subject to rolling blackouts?
A:  No. DWP has ample power supplies to meet all our customers' demands. In
fact, throughout the energy crisis, DWP has provided surplus energy to help
meet the needs of other parts of the State.

Q:  Are the electric rates going up?
A:  No. DWP electric rates have remained unchanged for 9 years. They are
currently stable. We expect no rate increase.
