“California’s reliance on hydropower and proliferation of remote, centralized renewable energy plants; the mandated environmental mothballing of 19 coastal natural gas power plants located close to customers; redundant transmission lines for green power; and seasonal wind blasts, results in lethal blast-furnace-like wildfires that leave trees alone but incinerate houses.”

“California leaders and opinion-makers must first abandon their blame game and diagnose the problem more clearly than using clichés like ‘global warming,’ ‘Donald Trump,’ ‘greed’ or even ‘not enough clear cutting,’ if they are going to responsibly deal with the dangerous unintended consequences of de-modernizing its electric grid.”

Because they don’t want anyone to realize that THEY are to blame, not “global warming,” the power companies, electricity, petroleum products or Trump.

I think as early as the 1600’s the first missionaries in California made comments in their diaries that if the hillsides covered in the volatile chaparral bush caught fire, California could completely burn.
