According to the report I read, you'd be wrong about that.
California is it's own "problem" in terms of how much energy it needs... We've (BC, Canada) actually "sold/sell" electricty to them as well.
Since you can never protect anything 100%, from a security/stability issue, I'd rather have more power plants than less so that if a few go down the grid would stay up. By having that type of system in place, they become less of a desirable target as well.
