Just blame it on climate change.
The real culprit is government.
Government limits the profits of the electric company. Forces the electric company to give away electricity to customers that can’t pay. Limits the type, and locations of power plants the electric company can build.
All of these things mean that the electric company has less money with which to perform maintenance on power lines and to keep brush cut down around power lines.
It also means longer stretches of high-tension lines because the company has fewer power plants. Longer runs of transmission lines means more line heating and sag during high demand periods.
The real cause of these fires is government managing electric companies with legislation.
Excellent post!
