Yes and wait til New Yorkers see what’s made in Albany for them.
“PG&E has prioritized political obeisance over safety.”
...and over cheap, reliable power. It was far easier for utility companies and their executives to stop resisting the green onslaught rather than continue to fight it. As government regulated corporations, they had to toe the green line decades ago. We are now reaping what was sowed in the 70s and 80s.
That’s precisely why I came to hate the power industry and left it after almost thirty years.
This is what you have when you have socialist run utilities.
Surreal! Who will win the blame game?
So?
I've a couple of those in my garage.
Is IT in danger of going up in smoke?
Who writes his stuff? Nicholas Maduro?

Democrats are never take responsibility for the crises they create.
“PG&E has prioritized political obeisance over safety.”
Unless California was willing to allow them to charge enough for both ‘political obeisance’ and safety, or make up the extra money some other way, then they really have NO CHOICE in the matter.
It is about environmentalist preservation mania, preservation of the underbrush and the deadwood that turns small fires into raging infernos and a few hundred yards square into a hundred square miles. The Indians all over the Americas understood how to maintain the forest. They burned off the underbrush often enough that the forest was clear and large herd animals lived in them. They planted fruit and nut trees everywhere and kept the forest clear around them. Our econuts insist the forest be allowed to accumulate tinder and undergrowth until it all goes up in lightning induced flames hot enough to burn the mature trees to ash and kill the forest animals and burn towns and kill people too.
My liberal daughter in Moraga is without power for the second time in three weeks.
Posts/information BUMP! HOW DARE YOU!
It was reported on Fox Business that insurers are not renewing fire insurance policies. Those that are renewed incur premiums as much as 5 times greater. The companies have not recovered from last years fires and do not have a good handle on the actual risks to be covered.
The Governor has no clear grasp of reality and is blaming the weather mischaracterized as climate
This is not the result of Capitalism, it’s the result of Socialism. They tell us windmills are the answer and then when the wind blows they shut off the power.
“”PG&E disclosed Thursday that it had discovered a broken jumper cable by the ignition site of a wildfire blazing across Sonoma County.””
Why no mention in the article of the significance of the broken jumper cable? Someone must have figured it had a role in the fire or why mention it? Someone could have found a coke bottle nearby - would that have been mentioned?
I think this charade is just a dress rehearsal for blackouts in the name of AGW. They want to make it like Venezuela or North Korea where the power might come on for an hour or so each day. For the proles it will probably happen while they are standing in line to get a crust of bread.
Governor Craven Gruesome is trying to deflect the blame.
100% of the blame for the wildfires should be on the one party legislature as well as their lackeys with the Public Utility Commission.
