I like a good conspiracy theory but this one has no facts. Just supposition.

I see where the author wants to go but needs actual facts to go along with his theory.

My brother has a theory that the California fires are suppose to ‘burn out’ the owners so Newson and Co, can but the land cheap and build their ridiculous high speed rail.

Great theory but he has no facts supporting his conspiracy.

His theory meshes well with this Electricity cutoff scenario.
Land owners(mostly rural and conservative) are “starved” off their land so the evil,socialist government can satisfy their rabid, leftist base at the expense of driving away the conservative opposition out of their state.
Sounds right but falls short of hard evidence.

When it’s time to publish a story and the facts you research completely derail your theory...publish with no facts.

” . . . this one has no facts. Just supposition.”

Fact: Wind turbines have to shut down when wind speeds top 55 mph.

Fact: In 2018 California relied on wind and solar for 17.8% of its power generation (about 11% solar, 7% wind).

What is supposition is that concerns about power availability were involved in the shutdown decision. But if no one ever even *considers* that as a possibility, no one will ever look into that factor, especially with an establishment press which is little more than the lapdog of the left.

Worse than being stupid this author is an ignorant fool

This idiot writer claims branches can’t drop and catch fire because utility companies cut trees beneath their power lines so that couldn’t possibly be what caused the fires. What a moron. THAT is exactly what has caused these fires because PGE DID NOT cut the area beneath the lines.

This is the problem with dirtbag clickbait sites like Epoch News. It’s all trash. Total idiotic opinion without any facts masquerading as some type of news.

Only FR folks keep reprinting this garbage, so of course they end being in the conspiracy bubble and can’t escape.

********

Actually it matters not a whit whether the fires are started at the
transmission lever or at the intermediate delivery level or the local
home/commercial delivery level. So it’s much easier to cut the power
at the generation/transmission level than the local level.

My theory is that an increasingly Socialistic/Communist government of California is giving the serfs a taste of a future fast approaching. A Venezuelan vacation so to speak.
