Kalifornia helped put them in the bind - makes sense for them to take “all precautions”...
Dear PG&E,
CLOSE all your Power Plants in California Immediately, the people have voted and that is their decision, STOP Fighting the inevitable, Close up Shop and Cash out now while you still can, and make damn sure all of your facilities are razed.
Liberal Democratic rule has its consequences .Just wish the power outages would affect Democratic areas. So far they seem to be affecting Republican areas.
What happens when Kookifornia’s laws get to the point where it makes the most sense to just shut down the whole system and walk away?
This is what happens in a state that elects politicians both hostile toward and ignorant of business.
I’m so glad that I don’t live in this incredibly stupid, pointless, dying place.
But The Rot spreads.
PG&E knows it will be sued for any fire that occurs in an area where they are supplying power. They are the designated “deep pockets” for any wildfire loss in the State of California.
Fires are going to start, whether PG&E is supplying power or not. The only way they can avoid liability is to make sure their power is turned off during conditions where fires are likely to start, for any reason.
The only way to prevent this rational decision-making is to provide civil protection to the utility, to ensure that they will not suffer crushing losses whenever a fire breaks out. If these lawsuits were prevented, PG&E would be happy to turn on the power.
Amazing that Cali is the only state that has this problem.
Hmmm....Why is that?
If you think things are bad now, just wait when the State of CA owns and operates the electiric grid.
i got a better idea.. trim and cut trees, brush and deadfall within 100 feet of a power line.... simple, but illegal in california
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..
