These are the articles I remember reading about CA blackouts from: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/california-wildfires-power-outages-1.5332313 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/california-wildfires-power-out... https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/california-heat-wave-1.5687895 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/california-heat-wave-1.5687895
