The Enviros have reached the zenith of their actions.

They stopped all grazing which removed the ‘ladder fuels’.

They shut down logging over the spotted owl.

The bark beetles have destroyed as much as 40% or more of the National forests there. When they attack trees, the trees die & fall & provide more food for more beetles.

When fires have happened, salvage logging can be beneficial, but it has to happen within just over 2 years to have worthwhile lumber from the effort. California stopped all the salvage logging.

I have ridden horseback many miles in forested land. We tried to tell the ‘little green beanies employees’ about the infestations of bark beetles, but they refused to listen.

IF there should be a target for the lawsuits, people truly need to consider the Forest Service (an oxymoron) as a primary target. They refused to listen to any of us.

California wouldn’t cut back trees that threatened power lines. California wouldn’t let people clear dead trees and brush near most power lines. They created the inferno waiting to happen ... and sue power companies for rogue sparks while ignoring illegal aliens and environmentalists causing fires.

Kommifornia prevents brush clearing on the power line right of way, so the fault lies with kommiefornia.
They also will prevent burying the lines as that would disturb the warted assed prairie goblins, no prairie goblins have ever been seen in the cable areas, but conditions are such that warted assed prairie goblins “could” live there..

You can bury 60kV - 500kv. Transmission lines.

Especially in mountains. No chance. Impossible
