Yes, I’m perfectly fine with taking judges to task.
It was state leadership screwing with forest upkeep and the ancillary things that made it possible for those wires to start fires, and the unkempt forest to burn worse due to bad management.
All these people need to be taken to task.
PG&E should have filed Chapter 7!
The problem in the past was while the eco-fruits went on campaign to limit harvesting the forest products industry sat on their hands OR actually assisted the eco-fruits in their agenda.
Now why in the hell would they do that? Because Weyerhaeuser, G-P and the rest, knew that the public forests were actually competitors and that if harvesting was limited on those lands, the value of their forest resources would increase.
It was funny hearing while living in California Limbaugh describe the state mandatory installation of roof solar panels which are not used for home use but feed into the power grid. Explain he was unaware that the home owner does have the option of converting the system for home use.
When done dose it supply enough electric ?
Yup.
Shut everything down, gather up all the infrastructure (wires in particular), and sell it all as scrap.
I heard that. On an earlier show he said that his first house in CA had solar panels. It wasn’t until a couple years later that he discovered they weren’t connected to anything.
yesterday we had gusts up to 65 mph most of the day along the Colorado Front Range, and yet no power was deliberately shutoff ...

I don’t think either you or he understand “grid-tie” systems, how they work over the course of a day ...
Insanity: Doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results .... California voters?

POTENTIAL FIRE IGNITION SOURCES. FIRES HAVE STARTED FROM THINGS
LIKE CIGARETTES, CAMP FIRES, WELDING AND BRUSH CLEARING
EQUIPMENT, AND DRAGGING TOWING CHAINS.
#PalisadesFire was threatening homes and causing some evacuations but it looks like they tamed it ....it was mostly a terrain driven fire not much wind
A relative in Napa Valley, who had to evacuate for 2 years in a row because the smoke got too bad, had her power shut off for 3 days said, “well thank goodness they shut the power off because we didn’t have any fires”. Everyone up there seems to support it because it’s for “the greater good.”
The news this morning said this will continue to be the solution for the next 10 years!!!!
Face Palm....
The old story is a mugging changes a lib to a conservative.
*****
Actually, that was originally a neo-conservative.
A “leftist” (communist) that got mugged by reality.
Therefore the neo = new in neo-conservative. And the totalitarian tendencies in neo-con policies and wants and the neo-con love of globalism “the internationale” just with a slightly different economic model.
Okay then. Glad I don’t live there.
small fire mostly out now...on a small hill,,but 1 home burnt
A brush fire moved into a residential neighborhood after breaking out near Little Mountain Basin in San Bernardino Monday afternoon, officials said.
At least one home and several yards along Edgerton Drive had gone up in flames, aerial video from Sky5 showed just after 6 p.m. A portion of a second home appeared to be charred by flames that had been extinguished.
