California authorities said Wednesday that power lines owned and operated by the Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. (PG&E) caused the state’s most destructive wildfire ever – it killed 85 people and nearly destroyed an entire city.

Lines owned by the San Francisco-based utility sparked the deadly, fast-moving Camp Fire on Nov. 8 in the Pulga area of Butte County, the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said in a news release. In total, the blaze burned 153,336 acres and destroyed in excess of 18,000 structures.

Not quite buying it. I think this is only part of the story. I’d like to know what they’re covering up.

YEs, so now they’re talking about just shutting down the transmission lines on high fire danger days. Meaning potentially days or weeks without electric for millions.

Yeah, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the "California authorities" radical-environmentalist-whacko "Forever Wild" forest demolition policies. Brought to you courtesy of the Cal-RATs.
