The power company is there to deliver power and make a profit. They get neither with this decision someone made. The government's job is to protect its citizens and collect revenue. They're getting neither. They're losing tax payments and are not strong-arming the power company into doing its job. So who's the man behind the curtain pulling their strings? Hunter Biden? |

(OP) User ID: 5898996 United States 10/11/2019 06:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He's busy today signing legislation grabbing guns. And some bill that further erodes due process to the citizens there. Not a care in the world about the power shutdown. I guess he takes orders from PG&E Nor does he seem concerned about the fires that are erupting there either. Last Edited by Sikhed on 10/11/2019 06:56 PM :doom360: |

All are environmental activist's.. PG&E honestly couldn't change a light bulb without these political creatures approval. Go check who's in it... People not trained in electricity, of course. Much like Biden's son. |

I'm sure they have some kind of income recovery fee included in their bills anyways to cover these contingencies. It really is Bartertown and we are forced to do business with them if we don't want our very homes to be condemned for not being tied to the grid. Now if I were left to my own devices... <VBEG> 100 retropoints to anyone who knows what that last acronym means. "Yes, yes. Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least there is symmetry." |

CaptnAndy User ID: 24901106 United States 10/11/2019 07:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PG&E was bankrupt because of windblown power lines that started the Paradise fire (probably with a little help from someone shooting insulators in the area it started). The power shutdowns are purely defensive actions mandated by their insurance carriers. Not all of the brush/tree issues are PG&Es fault. California has a ton of green, PC, noise, land use, environmental, and zoning restrictions that impact what they can do in right or way maintenance. Those restrictions coupled with the only “affordable” housing being in remote, high fire danger areas, and some of those residents being unwilling or unable to do a proper brush clearing process around their homes have created a perfect storm for wind driven wildfires. Many communities in California can no longer obtain fire insurance, at any cost, and the banks are starting to call loans in those areas because of no fire insurance. Other un PC causes for some fires is people (illegals??) camping and growing pot in remote areas, and homeless encampments in areas with uncleared vegetation. Solutions are underground power transmission and off grid home power, both of which are not cost effective for a large segment. The utility must attempt to make a profit for its stockholders, while the PUC limits what can be charged. The Utilities insurance is forcing them to assume a minimum risk posture, which is the driver for the blackouts. The people of California are in a Catch 22 situation, and I think it will continue to get worse. |
