So any use of electricity in our area is quickly going to become a quality of life issue should they need to cycle brown outs.

I assure you the wealthy that now line the shores of southern Winnipesaukee could care less and if there is a brownout, many will have robust generators and very significant supplies of propane at the ready.
I was shocked to hear the size of generator and propane tanks my brother inlaw got for his home. It was enough power for my whole street and enough propane for like a month or maybe more. It was like throwing his money to the contractors. But he has it and doesnt seem concerned so I made zero effort to talk him out of it. And I feel he is representative of a lot of people around the lake,,, It causes me no harm and fuels the economy so what hell, good luck to him.
