DC: California’s largest utility cut power to tens of thousands of customers Sunday in a new attempt to mitigate the risk of sparking a fire during dry, windy weather.
California utility PG&E cut power to about 42,000 customers on the heels of extreme fire warnings in three counties. Experts expected wind gusts as high as 50 mph to blow through California’s Sierra Foothills Sunday night. read more
Not only that, we’re paying higher rates so they can bail out the homeowners who lost their homes in the Santa Rosa fire. It’s the socialist way of doing things. One homeowner who had power turned off said she’s going to make PG&E pay for all the food she lost in her freezer. Nope, PG&E isn’t going to pay for anything as you were warned. Our power stayed on despite the fact we’re in the high fire danger zone.
Lol!

Soon, it will be rationed water…etc. Or a myriad of other dreamed up scenarios.
Maybe they ought to just fix the problem in the first place.
From now on it will be everytime the wind blows. I can’t really fault PG&E as Cal Fire is blaming them for every fire ever started. That way they can sue and get millions for the states’ social programs. Look up the Moonlight Fire and the corruption by Cal Fire in that case where they lied to collect from a timber co.
There are millions upon millions of trees and thousands of miles of power lines in remote areas. They can’t find every limb. Do they pursue illegals starting fires? Marijauna growers? No. Because there’s no money in it.
Oh, what a brilliant idea that is. I wonder how many people go outside to light up a BBQ grill when the power is out? Or crank up a gas-powered generator? No fire hazard there, eh?
