Classes were canceled. Frozen foods melted. Hospitals switched to emergency generators. Blooms withered in florists’ coolers. Unused food was jettisoned at shuttered restaurants. Lines formed at gas stations. Cellphones faded out. That’s what happened Wednesday when the state’s largest utility shut off power to millions of Californians in a drastic attempt to avoid the killer wildfires that have charred hundreds of thousands of acres, caused billions of dollars in damage and spurred cries for widespread change in how electricity is delivered over the state’s aging grid.

You got that right! Those people in Commiefornia have been asking for this kind of crap for years. I have absolutely no sympathy at all for them. “Play Stupid games, win Stupid prizes”.
What? This is your utopia Environmental Fascists! Think what a small carbon foot print you all will have for days. Lie back and think of Gaia!
“Funny they’re ALL blaming the power company! How many Marxists in Sacramento does it take to run a power grid?!”
It’s one of the sad, scary defining characteristics of the left. It’s their inability to comprehend that there are consequences for their policies.
The killed logging in the 1980s and this is what you get....Trump should sell all forest service land to private owners....You do not see this in the SE because most forest land is privately owned...and trees are worth money if taken care of
Make California Mexico Again
Get used to it. As utilities are forced to use unreliable, costly “green” sources of electricity, there will be many “wildfire risk” excuses for regular blackouts.
It’s like agenda 21 in action.
More importantly, did it impact people using EBT Cards?
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!!!
No that is what happened to those who ignored days and days of warnings, did not prepare and then were surprised when the power went off. We’re two days into this and it’s kind of fun. Like camping.
You wanted a Commie paradise...so now suck on it. But don’t worry, you’re safe from plastic straws.
Is this something out of an Ayn Rand novel, or what?
Yeah, I can believe it.
Atlas Shrugged for real...
Just like the fires, CA is going to blame someone else other than themselves.
Look for more lawsuits against PGE
This article is hysterical. Also cell phone service is not affected.
Panic sells.
This is what you get from worshiping the forests for 40 years.
I bet all the illegal immigrants must feel at home. Ca is turning into a turd world country just like where they fled from.
It will only speed up progressives fleeing California and bringing the infection of their Left wing politics to further harm the rest of us.
Soon what will remain will see to be the homeless, the ever more entitled and/or belligerent Illegal Aliens, the very rich and the people in east California.
And still no wind to speak of.
