Hi Eric; Re: "My utility (which owns it's own dams) sells it's excess power generation out of state over BPA's powerlines to California. ";

When you use power, there is less "excess" power available to sell to California. So a utility in California burns fossil fuels to replace the power you used. If you stepped completely off the grid there would be less fossil fuels spent on electricity in California.
