The radio ads for “Smokey Bear” says careless campers start wildfires. No mention of this stuff. Whom do we trust?
Also, no mention of Muslims who boasted they would start coordinated fires two years ago-—and oddly patterned fires did happen. Michael Savage had several shows describing his doubts this was natural. As: driest areas in winds didn’t have a fire but four five atypical areas suddenly had them at the same time separately as if with accelerants applied.
The question is whether PG&E was negligent. And even if not negligent, is there a way to mitigate that from happening again. There is bound to be a way to reengineer the components most likely to start fires.
This might actually be a sensible approach by the company. Whether or not they fear California gov't bleeding them dry.
