Cali Power Outage

"Californians fume over PG&E power outage"

Up to 3 million will be without power for up to 5 days to prevent fires due to crappy line maintenance and negligent forest management.

But how will they charge their electric cars?????????

When I first posted this I thought it was funny as hell, but the more I think about it not funny at all, just another perfect example of what leftest rule gets you. Power company can't afford to maintain the lines because all their money has to go to renewable energy, forest service can't cut down trees because gotta protect the environment. And yet they are the smart ones who want to lecture us about how ere live. I suspect this power outage will cause a massive increase in criminal activity so for any caught behind enemy lines stay safe.

I think it's pretty funny. Sue / fine the power company into bankruptcy and then bitch when they turn the power off to prevent it from happening again.

It might prevent lighting up a tree that is slapping the lines during the wind, but what about the tree fallen on the line in the storm. With this thought process, one would think they need to inspect every line before they energize back up too.

That appears to be the plan. Sucks, but I don't blame them...
"Given the prolonged period during which the wind event will unfold, and the large number of power line miles that will need to be inspected before restoration, customers are being asked to prepare for an extended outage," PG&E said in a release.

Nothing more taxes won't solve.

The fire danger is from the high voltage lines in remote areas, the really tall towers, in Wyoming we used to call it line slap, if you have too much slack in your lines and wind starts them swinging too much and you get two phases too close together you get arching. Solution is too adjust tension on the lines or install spreader bars to keep lines apart. The other part of the problem is the forest and underbrush has been allowed to built up too close to the power line right of way, all of that needs to be cut back. But those solutions all cost money and with the renewable energy mandates they just don't have the funds needed. Wind and solar always cost more and deliver less than promised. So problem is caused by renewable energy mandates and forest mismanagement pushed by the greenies, but that will all be covered up so lets blame Trump i 3,2,1....
