How about moving down here and finding a job in Venice Beach or Santa Monica? The weather's better, you don't have to worry about power outages, housing is less expensive. You can live by the beach or in the mountains and still be in the city.
Actually, I am moving but not down there. :)
Los Angeles has its own municipal utility with excess capacity. The city sells power to the grid at a profit. We Angelenos also don't tend to get as cold as you folks up north do if the heating should happen to be curtailed.
Santa Clara has there own utility. Unfortunately, I think natural gas prices are eating into their profits.
(Obligatory disclosure: I have an interest in disgruntled bay area folks coming down south to live among the palm trees. I'm trying to recruit more staff.)
Without a doubt, more than a few of us on SuSE list appreciate your offer. Good luck with your hunting! Christopher Reimer
