Mike Adam’s had a video where he points out that wind doesn’t cause electrical fires.
This power cutoff reduced California’s carbon footprint.
Do it again.
I wonder how long it will take for those High tech Companies (Mostly in Silicon Valley) to leave the State? Austin TX should be prepared.
I do not understand how all of a sudden wind and electricity create fires? They are way windy places on Earth and they do not have this problem. Why all of a sudden over the last 2 years and ONLY in California. I am calling B.S. on PG&E.
Who is telling them to to this.? I know the Governor now has them protected from lawsuits so that the taxpayers pick up the tab.
I don’t understand. I assumed all progressive Californians used solar power
Who is John Galt?
The best part is the Solar power people clowns did not work with the electricity off.
Oh and all those Tesla electric cars could not be charged.
I hear Colorado is nice. Don’t move here!
This was simply PG&E flexing its muscles in advance of asking for big rate hikes.
This event is an excellent introduction to what the effects of implementing the Green New Deal would look like. I hope people get this.
The corrosive green nonsense is now affecting California but it won’t be limited to the land of fruits and nuts. In New York, the vile Governor Cuomo has prevented fracking, gas pipelines and is dismantling nuclear power plants. Unfortunately this lowlife will be out of office at the time power outages and brownouts begin to decimate New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
Ya gotta love old Governor Gav.....
“Governor Newsomebutnotenough signed into law a bill outlawing fire.”
Newsom says it’s due to neglect. Would be interesting to hear him expound on that.
“We are seeing the scale and scope of something that no state in the 21st century should experience,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said speaking Thursday in Mather, Calif. “What’s happened is unacceptable, and it has happened because of neglect.”
Unbelievable! What hubris!!
Got Democrats?
HA..!! Everyone knows your not allowed to cut or trim trees in Mexifornia..!!
“The state’s three big investor-owned utilities now have regulatory permission to cut off power to parts ...”
That explains why the utilities could do it without worrying about getting sued.
Even better would have been to have gotten regulatory permission to leave the power on and not have to worry about getting sued.
“PG&E (PCG) is the largest California utility. While PG&E and the other California utilities are generally investing in renewables largely because they’ve been forced to, PG&E offers solid returns and is in fact the U.S. leader in ownership of renewables. Utility stocks offer safe returns, and PG&E also offers a dividend to sweeten the pot.”
