Interesting...California wildfires map lines up with proposed high speed rail for California

It will be interesting to see if red tape prevents rebuilding houses in places where the line is going. It would be explained away as normal bureaucratic processing. Many conflicts in the RAT party can be easily explained if it is considered as a criminal mob.

[Trumpet 1]

A realistic comment to be sure; that the Democrats are a criminal mob with lots of detailed planning. Then again, those rail lines and fires may just be a co-incidence of where the populations of extreme crowding of humans and a total lack of modern intelligent forestry are located. Question is, were the fires located in high human population centers or in low density human areas? It is more difficult to remove a large tree if there is a house 9 feet away from it. Fire to tree to house. Complete lack of intelligent urban forestry.

[Gen.Blather]

Early proposals for the route placed it in the least populated areas for political as well as practical reasons. Those areas, being undeveloped or lightly developed, would therefore have less asphalt and more trees.

...129 million dead trees in CA.
A BIPARTISAN BILL in CA was passed recently to give the forestry people
clear access to remove dead trees and
to get rid of debris that feeds forest fires....Moonbeam Brown vetoed it...the deaths and destruction rest at his feet

Burn the settlers out.

LOL - You obviously don’t live in California are even drove up the Central Valley.

Look at Google map of California. The Central Valley is almost all farmland. None of the fires are occurring in the Central Valley.

In Northern California while there are population centers most is just forest. There is nothing to gain by burning the forest down.

What if isn’t about people but protected species? Could anything on an endangered list have been wiped out by the fires?

[snoringbear]

“What if isn’t about people but protected species? Could anything on an endangered list have been wiped out by the fires?” Soooo, presumably, forest fires being a naturaly occuring event for the most part; how is it these endangered species have survived all these thousands of years? Just wondering, lol 😂....

[mad_as_he$$]

There are many reasons to burn the forest down. Fighting fire is very big business with it’s own well entrenched union structure and lobbying efforts. Follow the money; PG&E is negligent in tree/power line management. They saved millions by not trimming trees properly. All of the bare wires were supposed to be replaced decades ago and weren’t.

I could go on but I don’t feel like keyboarding much more.

Cheaper land acquisition than eminent domain. This would clear a corridor for the trains then development according to Agenda 21/2030. The area could become a multi trillion dollar windfall for the government and their comrades.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Nice theory but I don’t buy it.

PG&E being short sighted in the maintenance department makes some sense but that has yet to be proven.

Most fires are the results of lightning strikes in dry area combined with the wind.

The solution is proper forest management. Clearing under brush, controlled burns, more fire breaks and roads to reach into the forest.

But my original comments were directed at the idea that someone set the fires to make way for the high speed train. I don’t for a minute believe that for the simple reason the high speed train will never get built. It is nothing more than a wealth transfer scheme to transfer money from the taxpayers to friends of the Democrats.

Never hurts to ask. Besides, it wouldn’t have to explain all the fires. If someone wanted to rid themselves of an issue, what better way to hide one particular fire than among many.

[snoringbear]

“Never hurts to ask. Besides, it wouldn’t have to explain all the fires. If someone wanted to rid themselves of an issue, what better way to hide one particular fire than among many.” Appears the local electric utility will likely be found liable. It’s already in financial trouble due to previous fires. This one will push it into bankruptcy. Governor Moonbeam has already asked for a federal bailout. Meaning you and me will pay for California’s stupid forest management policies 😡...

[mad_as_he$$]

Your assertion that lightning causes most fires is patently incorrect - at least in California. Overwhelmingly it is electrical followed by human caused and lightning is way down the list.

[mewzilla]

I live in NYS. We live to have other states’ taxpayers pay our freight.

[a fool in paradise]

>>Burn the settlers out.
