Number one this is a tree and brush management issue not a PGE line issue
Number two we had the Santa Rosa and Napa fires in 2017 which killed a bunch of people and then that horrible paradise fire in Paradise California which killed a bunch of people and the state of California said PG&E and they settled for about $63 billion
So now the utilities basically like fuck you were just going to turn off the power and not take any risks with fires anymore since you’re going to sue us if the fires happen
Who can blame them for this action? It makes complete sense if you’re in the business of providing power to people they won’t let you trim the trees around your powerlines because of environmental issues and then they see you for causing fires when they happen during Highwinds when it hasn’t rained for six months
Bottom line for us 1800s types our power was out for a week and I told the wife and the kids who cares? And we handled fine
It would be a lot biggger deal if it’s -20 outside! That’s for damn sure

That’s normally when we lose power for 5 to 10 days at a clip. Not -20 maybe but 0 f. Not fun but most of us get by. I muse a little bit at people totally unprepared to live without modern “conveniences”. Have that attitude here or somewhere like Alaska, be prepared to freeze to death in the dark.
