Damn, every thing is turning to sh!t Buckey .... who are we going to blame and then sue?
Kind of like the Protective Hand of God has been lifted from the State of California...more and more with these disasters. More and more a place NOT to live.
Please forgive my ignorance here but...
Why wouldn’t PG&E just trim the trees from around their power lines vs shutting off the power to tens to hundreds of thousands of people?
Our power was due to be cut off at 2 pm....It is now 90 minutes later. Butte County is one of the first areas to have its power cut as many power generation lines come out of the Feather River and Oroville Dam area. Oh well, enjoy the juice while we can...
Wants to be a Turd world country so bad...
Is something a ‘disaster’ if it happens practically every year?
Illustrates a corollary to “supply and demand”:
When supply is exhausted, demand becomes acute.
I presume Tesla Solar is going to have very good earnings reports next quarter.
You better not have an Electric car
Sounds more and more like Venezuela.
Well when you pass laws that you cannot cut trees under power lines, (to save the environment), then the trees grow up, you might have a problem. Im done fretting over California. They are creating their own misery. This is what they are voting for, and they are reaping what they sow... this is what they believe, this is what they want. Not our problem, they own it.
buying legislators, governors, and ‘regulators’ can only work for so long, as eventually your company falls apart from inside
imho, Californication has had perhaps the most corrupt ‘regulators’ and legislators and governors ....with this power company (and a couple more big utilities) pretty much owning them all for years its seemed
ps: its surprising how little $$$ some governmental regulators and officials might sell out for, too
I imagine most everybody is able to scramble around in the dark using flashlights which gathering up family photo albums, important documents, pets, and children. And to drive out of the area down unilluminated streets and through intersections where there are no traffic signals.
But only the jerkwads in California government would actually oblige their citizenry to do so.
There’s only one cure for this; the people in California need to start voting for republicans. Not that they would be all that much better, but one-party rule does not work.
If they can continue on this road to being Venezuela. If they became Mexico they would try to ship all of their uneducated unskilled brown people to America.
long past time for tough love. Cut off the funding and treat the various military installations as green zones and the rest of the state as Baghdad.
We used to be a civilization
PG&E will be taken over by the Kali-fornia gov’t. after being sued out of existence.
You can almost hear Ayn Rand laughing from the other side.
Conservatives have an opportunity in CA. Just promise to keep the power on, drugs off the streets and crime low.
Be nice to see pics of the Pelosi's house all lit up during the blackouts. Running their huge generators, contributing to global warming.
.... These Forced Blackouts have now become the new Norm here in California ever since PG&E lost the 11 Billion Dollar lawsuit last year when they were determined to be the cause of the wildfires her last year.
