The power lines fail in high winds and start afire, the forest is and has been wildly overgrown for 15 years, millions of tons of dead trees. brush. All of it Forbidden by Law and Court Decisions to clean up and manage.
12,000 people lose their homes from the raging, out of control wildfire fueled bu all this mismanagement of our forests, so they SUE the Power Company and force them into Bankruptcy.
If I ran the Power Company I would DISCONNECT your Power PERMANENTLY, all the Transmission Lines from the Power Plant would be on EBAY tomorrow. You want Electricity you BUY and MAINTAIN the Lines from OUR PLANT!!!
There is one other issue. From what I have read the “smart meters” have a tendency to catch fire when there is a power surge.
Watch for homes to burn when the power restarts.
The forests were overgrown when I lived there nearly fourty years ago. And for some reason they keep having the same fires.
