Not in California.

They're so screwed...

PG&E may shut off power to nearly 1 million customers in California to prevent 'catastrophic wildfire'

Thousands of customers of California's largest utility company will find out Saturday morning if they will have to spend days without power as fires continue to rage in the state.

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) officials are expected to decide by 8 a.m. (local time), if the company will cut power to about 850,000 customers, a utility spokesman said. The planned power outage could last for several days, the utility said, to prevent a "catastrophic wildfire" during what is expected to be particularly dry and windy weather.

I wouldn't live in that state even if you were picking up the tab.

California’s largest utility - PG&E, with a history of safety and maintenance problems, has been scrambling for five years to reduce fire risks. It has been overwhelmed by the threat’s severity and the challenge of shoring up thousands of miles of aging power lines and cutting and trimming millions of trees in a service area larger than Florida, according to a Wall Street Journal review of court records, regulatory filings and interviews with current and former regulators and company employees.
