Having run my place on generator sets I can tell you that Joe Sixpack and his 2000 watt Honda genset are going to be hard pressed to keep an AC unit and fridge running. I am also betting big that there aren't many gen sets on the wrong sides of the tracks in big Cali cities. But I'll keep a raven handy for lunch if I be wrong.

If they are planned, then they are just an annoyance more than anything.
Key: If they are planned. Remember that big East Coast blackout a few years back? It was summer. It was hot. It was terrible. My daughter, 14 at the time took the opportunity to hit the streets while I worried at home, continuously schlepping up & down 9 flights, then giving her a whupping in the dark at 11pm when she finally showed up, then I took a cold shower by candlelight.
When there's a blackout everything shuts down; merchants, restaurants etc. Can't operate without electricity. It could be a good time, in the short run, if you live in the right environment but for many it's no picnic at all.
