The government has continually attacked them for starting forest fires, killing people and destroying homes.

I don’t blame them for reacting like this.

I did buy a little aaa battery powered nebulizer,,, doesn’t even get through one dose per batteries though.

I call pge
They give me the subcontractors number
I call them ( often)
Get a message to leave my number with a promise to call in 1 to 2 days.
They never do.

You do the math.

Graft

on a pelosi/Gavin crime family
level imho.

I bet they short pge stock for extra profit too.

I thought the problem with high winds is electrical fires under the power lines which the envirnuts won’t let them clear the brush.

I have been curious for years why SDG&E, my utility in So. OC, never has blackouts or lowers transmission. Less customers? Better management? Shorter transmission lines/infrastructure? Political influence?
/\

More registered Republicans in North state
Vs
More registeted Democrats in South state

Would be my guess.

They neglected trimming trees around power lines, because they were mandated to do the green energy things.
They they were sued because they neglected trimming trees around powerlines.

“Wait til they are all MANDATED to get electric cars. No electric at all. Great idea dems”

Yes, no gas powered cars, expensive electric cars, and very expensive or better yet no electricity for most people is the long term idea.

All caused by climate change, just like the dozen major hurricanes that were predicted to hit the U.S. this year.

Go to thread #2328

Newsom has signed a bill that bans ‘small engines’.

CHAIN SAWS are included in that ban...along with generators

So let’s follow the dots:

Power gets shut off randomly-—sometimes with notice—sometimes NO NOTICE...

Because power companies are being blamed for fires.

What will power companies use to trim those trees?????/

NO generators allowed to keep your items refrigerated—keep your house warm enough to prevent freezing pipes... no way to pump water for your livestock from your well,,, etc.

Wildfires that are still being fought-—for over 3 months in Calif-—have had over 10,000 fire fighters on those fires during this summer.

NOW-—FIREFIGHTERS cannot use chainsaws????????

Newsom should be hung-—along with the entire Calif Legislature that wrote this bill.

And to add salt to the wound, the State of California mandated that all new home construction to be all electric. No natural gas allowed.

Looks like Newsome wants to make his subjects suffer for the recall.

Hm. Well, expect a “man-made” fire in the immediate future, then. Begun in several different areas. Really hot ones burning low-density homes in desirable areas. Especially in areas with wells, so there will be no water available due to no power to the well pumps.
