Funny how PG&E power lines have stood the test of time for decades up until the Brown/Newsom administrations. Up until the Carr fire, how many major fires have ever been started by a fallen power line?
What has changed?
It was a disaster in the making over several decades. The extended drought they had some years killed and weakened millions of trees. This allowed for bark beetle infestations that killed even more trees.
We have had them.
Basically a lack of publicity.
