No that is what happened to those who ignored days and days of warnings, did not prepare and then were surprised when the power went off. We’re two days into this and it’s kind of fun. Like camping.
You wanted a Commie paradise...so now suck on it. But don’t worry, you’re safe from plastic straws.
Is this something out of an Ayn Rand novel, or what?
Yeah, I can believe it.
Atlas Shrugged for real...
Just like the fires, CA is going to blame someone else other than themselves.
Look for more lawsuits against PGE
This article is hysterical. Also cell phone service is not affected.
Panic sells.
This is what you get from worshiping the forests for 40 years.
I bet all the illegal immigrants must feel at home. Ca is turning into a turd world country just like where they fled from.
It will only speed up progressives fleeing California and bringing the infection of their Left wing politics to further harm the rest of us.
Soon what will remain will see to be the homeless, the ever more entitled and/or belligerent Illegal Aliens, the very rich and the people in east California.
Now go read this:

VDH nails it.
No more airplanes, gasoline, electricity for California.
But they will have tons of feces on the streets and
copious bodies under the STANDARD hotel.
Hoping Jimrob moves FR from the belly if the beast. I would hate for the lights to go out here!
Calezuela.
Blaming WILD FIRES on Climate Change is about as intellectually sound as blaming a piece of steel laying on the table (gun) for taking aim and shooting somebody.
Looks like California has it’s own civil war going on.
I wonder what this is doing to property values.
Apropos, but none of them can see it now...
I feel for the conservatives there. They didn’t vote for this.
If my sources are accurate, the socialists/communists running the state pushed this: They forced the shutdown/curtailment of many of PGE’s own generating facilities within the state and limited their maintenance budgets to practically nothing. They then made PGE buy outside power, but limited the price of it such that PGE was paying more for that outside power than they could actually recoup from their customer base. Then, they prevented PGE from clearing their power line right-of-ways for “environmental reasons”. This has been going on for years...it just didn’t happen overnight. With inadequate funds for maintenance of the lines, it was destined to be a disaster in the making...which it was when a high voltage line failed causing wildfires, which in turn, caused lawsuits. PGE finally just “tossed in the towel” and shut em down to prevent any more future lawsuits and losses. It’s surprising PGE lasted as long as it has.
Welcome to socialism/communism....It’s insanity at its very finest.
Again, I pray for the good, hard-working, conservative people there, especially those that cannot escape. Many want to fight this but are woefully outnumbered. It’s a tragedy that will become nationwide IF communism/socialism is allowed to continue to expand thru the entire country.
So what are they doing about the schools with these power outages, having the kids stay home?
I may sound really stupid but it seems to me fires are started (or at least most of them) by humans.
Those billions pissed away on that train to nowhere sure could have rebuilt a good chunk of the electrical grid.
