Unfortunately with our aging infrastructure and Public Safety Power Shutoffs we now need more backup power options like batteries and generators. Especially for anyone with medical needs.
Portable power stations are useful for CPAP and other smaller devices, but a generator or large batteries are necessary for poweringrefrigerator and air conditioning.

In the "old days", electric utilities focused on two things -- reliability and keeping prices down. Electricity became so reliable that activists from two sides started plundering the utilities: one side siphoned off money to executives and Wall Street while the other side forced utilities to fund its social causes.
Now we are left with electricity that is quite expensive, unreliable and causes damage and injury to millions because of the long lack of systems investment. The goose that laid the golden egg is officially dead.
