Late Stage Capitalism: Half of California worst fires caused by ramshackle power supply system

[Bleipriester]

Isn´t that ironic? How about Americans care for their own power supply system?

California’s Power Outages Are About Wildfires—But Also Money

Green energy......bad for the environment.

Power lines and transformers fail in every state of the USA. They don't cause enormous wildfires.The difference in California is the lines are surrounded with dry trees and brush that ignite quickly and spread even quicker with drought conditions and Santa Anna winds. It is wrong to destroy PG&E over things that nature and the government cause.

Blaming the failures of PG&E on the government won´t solve any problems.

Wasting money on "green energy" mandates, money that should have been spent on maintenance.

Who is to blame?

What is green there?

All the more expensive, less reliable, wind and solar they're forced to buy.

Our prices doubled.

Of course they did.

All managed and regulated under a democratic regime, shitforbrains. Wanna talk about the roads or the school system next, dumbass?

The areas that haven't caught fire yet are still out there.

Texas.

California

Tezass is a flat wasteland whereas California is a mountainous and hilly productive state. So it is easy to cut back in that wasteland but not in an area that you can hardly walk up.

PG&E has paid hundreds of millions in fines for accidents being caused by deferred maintenance. The capitalist racketeers at PG&E have found it cheaper to pay fines than be responsible.

Before PG&E cut the power it literally begged to be able to clear the dead brush away. Environmental groups put a stop to that real fast.

No, PG&E. San Bruno, Ca. San Bruno pipeline explosion - Wikipedia

California cannot be safe from powerline caused wildfires until the manufacture, sale and use of electricity are outlawed.

Look for that happen before next summer's wildfire season.

Drafted in true liberal Democrat style the bill mandating that will be encompassing that you'll get prison time if you even rub two cats together.

PG&E needs to maintain their infrastructure.
