Newsome is just letting everything burn down so the state doesn’t have to do any forestry management.
Democrats can only ignore problems. They like control, sex, drugs and death.
They should be collecting forest deadwood and using it in large ‘green’ power plants. Dispose of the resulting ash periodically back in same forests as fertilizer. Sure those power plants would have dirty emissions, but they’d be better what the forest fires otherwise would emit. They probably wouldn’t be as efficient or cost effective as as gas, nuclear or even coal, but they’d likely be better and more dependable than wind or sun. Start doing it with state forests. Once the infrastructure is built they could take excessive federal or private forest fuel for a disposal fee. If a portion of the deadwood is economically useful as timber that could be separated and sold as such. What are multiple recycling streams to Californians?
