Also the power lines between Southern and Northern California
("Path 15") have insufficient capacity to bring enough surplus power
north. Southern California is dependent on out-of-state power, but
the lines from Arizona etc. have enough capacity.

I believe the smog from San Francisco primarily blows south in
the northerly winds that prevail during the summer. AFAIK Sacramento
gets locally-generated smog.
