So let’s see. NOT from electrical lines. Has to be arson of some type.
“Well, you see, they informed us that the fires were going to be set at about 3 PM. So, naturally, being good people, you know, we shut down the power lines a few hours before those fires were started. That’s our story.”

Not adding up at all.
Starting to sound as if orchestrated and choreographed by a wide network of individuals. How sad, others may have been willing to kill people just to clear the land for acquisition.
Literally a ‘Scorched Earth’ Policy for ground-grabbing.
Makes absolutely no sense. The logical conclusion is arson if no power lines were producing electricity.
Ruh Roe? Arson. Who was the arsonist and why?
Ruh Roh
and the video showing them causing the fire???
The earlier fire was in a different spot IIRC, so the cause isn’t re-ignition.
Somebody barbecuing? I would expect burning of any type of trash to be prohibited.
I hate to admit it, but this latest information about the power lines points to arson as a cause.
And anyone with ONLY an EV was screwed! This is another reason the DemocRATS are trying to mandate everyone purchase EVs. Then they will limit the amount, the days one is ‘allowed’ to charge it. Or just cut off the power and recommend bicycles. If you’re too old or disabled to use a bicycle.....oh well...too bad.
“Is it me, or is something not adding up?”
What’s not adding up to me is that we haven’t heard this until now.
It’s much easier and less expensive for a developer to deal with a non-resident heir than the living owner resident.
Based on Canada, Greece, and (in recent years) California, I am now coining the term “Environmental Reichstag Fire”.
No matter how many arsonists are arrested, the government and the media call it “climate change”.
You can almost guarantee that any official report will be released weeks after anyone is reporting on the wildfire, and only then a whitewash of a report will be quietly posted on a government website at 4:59 pm Hawaii time on a Friday.
Somebody knows more than they’re saying.
6 hours before the wildfires even started? Can you say “planned event”? I know you can.
“The utility said another afternoon fire started in the same area more than six hours after all of its power lines in West Maui had been de-energized, which could not be contained by the fire department and spread out of control toward Lahaina.”
Somebody is lying and trying to cover their rear ends here.
Since the first conflicting reports came out, I was wondering how ‘islanding’ might have played a role in energizing the lines. No, that’s not a pun: It’s a solar energy term.
“Unintentional/unplanned islanding” = Non-utility power generation energizing grid power lines during a grid outage.
Solar systems are supposed to have anti-islanding installed to prevent such a scenario with grid-tied systems, but unintentional islanding is a factor.

I find it interesting that no one is publicly asking the right questions of Maui or HE officials...
It’s not you.
It took them this long to decide to claim that the power was off hours before the grass fires?
Not buying it.
