> Strange to think that many of the folks who live there are in charge of a lot of the companies on HN (or are senior execs there). As someone who lives in Marin I’m not sure where you got this idea. Most people who live in Marin have been there for 20-30+ years and are retired. They probably paid less than 300k for their home.

  Most of the homeowners are probably retired and bought it for <300k. Which is related, but not totally, to who lives there.

    The funny thing about this whole story is that this whole story has a much simpler explanation that doesn't involve any conspiracies at all: "We told the California Public Utilities Commission of a 4,700-MW need through 2022 and that gap started in 2020. Despite all that, only 3,300 MW was authorized for procurement and none starting until 2021," Berberich said during a special telephone conference the Cal-ISO Board of Governors held Aug. 17, following a weekend during which the grid operator twice conducted rotating blackouts because of high demand and tightening reserves. https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/electric-power/081720-grid-operator-cal-iso-says-generation-shortfall-might-prompt-more-blackouts https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-ne... It's weird that none of the 'experts' in the news could figure this out and we've gone to blaming random homeowners, electric lines, 5G and everything else in this story without this information even coming up.
