The utility company said the following counties are included in those that could face Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS): Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Humboldt, Kern, Lake, Lassen, Mariposa, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Sonoma, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne, Yuba.
“We voted ourselves back into the dark ages.”
Whenever this happens the governor’s mansion should also be without power. This is not because of an emergency or disaster it is from gross incompetence.
If the Green Power rolling blackouts don’t get you, the “PSPS” (Public Safety Power Shutoffs) shutoffs will!! Got you coming or going! My elderly Mom is right on the edge of a PSPS outage for tonight.
I wonder how much power the 1,100 or so residents of Alpine County in the Eastern Sierra on the Nevada border use?
Q. What did California have before democrats?
A. Electricity
Maybe they can get High-Stepping Hank, the Portland fire footer to come down and light up their streets.
Mountain country, no air conditioners in Alpine County.
Leftist break everything they touch. Those responsible should be ashamed. Those just living, working, and raising families in CA should be justifiably angry and should seek ways to do away with those responsible. It is absolutely, completely reasonable to expect to have electricity in 2020. This isn’t Venezuela.
These particular blackouts aren’t because of ack of power supply/electricity, they’re because of the danger of forest fire igniting or being ignited by PG&E’s power lines.
So it’s a problem created by the lack of tree thinning and forest management that has made California’s forests a tinder box
Not a problem our cabins just burned down. No electricity needed.
Gavin Newsom and his followers should get out there and spin the wind turbines by hand and shine their flashlights on the solar panels at night.
These particular blackouts are result of poor forest management/lack of logging, not power shortages
PG&E PSPS oiutage scheduled for tonight all the way up Hwy. 4 from Vallecito to Lake Alpine!
My sister lives in so cal she has a 15 day old baby power has been out since 2pm yesterday and is still out no clue when the power will be restored..they have a generator which they have been using since the power went out but it’s noisy and last night the neighbor called the cops because of the noise so the hubby had to explain to them it’s a generator and they need it since the power is out..a huge pain in the rear it’s like living in a third world country but yeah it’s California
keep voting Democrat and enjoy the suck.
The Avista crews are top-notch and got our power back on after just ten hours of outage. They had to restore transmission and distribution damage first, then restore hospitals and other public safety installations before getting to the residential outages. They did amazing work getting us back on.
It infuriates me that Avista as bought into the global warming and renewables bull crap. I wonder how long it will be before our system is as bad as the California system.
Unfortunately, our Pro Shop took a beating today...
Also, big insurance companies were able through lobbyists to enact hybrid deductibles, which tremendously favor the insurance companies over the insured for losses from a "named storm" in nineteen hurricane-prone states.
For example, if someone had a 5% deductible, they must have damages above 5% of their home's value before the insured gets a single dime from the insurance company. For a home valued at $350,000 (home value usually exaggerated), $17,500 becomes the deductable.
