Hey, remember when all those California wildfires were all due to ‘climate change’ caused by mankind’s carbon footprint and were the new normal and a taste of things to come? Good times, good times
PG&E Power Lines Blamed For Northern California Wildfires
Downed power lines owned by utility giant Pacific Gas and Electric are being blamed for a dozen Northern California wildfires last fall. The findings by state officials could have a significant financial impact on PG&E.
The report by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection links electric power and distribution lines with 12 fires that killed 18 people. The trouble started when trees and branches came into contact with power lines and wind gusts of up to 70 mph pushed wildfires faster than firefighters could respond. (snip)
PG&E is facing more than 50 lawsuits filed by fire victims arguing that the utility is responsible for fires that scorched the wine country counties of Napa and Sonoma last year.
An earlier investigation found that PG&E’s failure to clear or trim trees near power lines caused three wildfires in Butte and Nevada counties in the fall.
See, sometimes there’s an actual culprit at fault, rather than the mythical carbon pollution which can solved with a tax offered up to the climate gods.
