Southern California Utility Cuts Power To Customers On Thanksgiving As Wildfire Risks Surge
NATION AND STATE ^ | 11/25/2021

Posted on 11/25/2021 9:27:22 AM PST by george76

The largest utility company in Southern California cut power to thousands of customers across higher elevations of Los Angeles, leaving many households without electricity for Thanksgiving.

Edison International’s Southern California utility cut power to 32,036 residential and commercial building structures in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties to prevent wind storms from toppling power lines that would stoke fires in the drought-stricken region. The utility projects up to a quarter-million customers could lose service around Los Angeles and San Diego.

...

Edison warned more customers are likely to lose power, and San Diego Gas & Electric, another local utility, could turn off power to 52,000 customers.

...

There were even reports of a crazed liberal university professor starting fires.

The state where they're going to stop you from using natural gas, and force you to use electric instead.

Don’t clean the underbrush near the lines, just go without electricity when it’s windy.

Ay-yi-yi!

A serial arsonist / college professor Gary Maynard went on a spree of setting fires. Not just once, but over and over again.

I have my generator lit off. It runs everything but the electric range. We are going to break out the MREs.

They did not stop delivering power out of fear of starting fires, but because it knew it would not have power to deliver once high winds shut down all those wind turbines.

Us folks in the power industry know why power lines go down...and it has nothing to do with high winds.

Thanks, looked at the article. The professor didn’t look happy, heh. I wonder how many less fires there would have been without him and others starting them.

So far no problems. I’ve used it about 200 hours during the last few power outages. I follow all the routine maintenance instructions. I do realize this is not a permanent off grid power source.

The wind mills do not work during low wind, high wind, when it is snowing ... do not charge up your electric cars .. as the wind mills can not keep up..

Of course not. Rumor has it the elusive yellow-beaked, purple bellied, 3 legged farkle frog is in there somewhere and is endangered.
