I'm out of the loop in regards to the plight of Commiefornia, et. al. How are the wildfires the fault of the government?
EDIT: So a lot of overregulation (what isn't overregulated other than HIV in California?). That's what I figured, I just didn't want to assume one way or the other. Thanks for the info guys.
Yes and if it isn't cleared by man it will be cleared by a fire. Native Americans knew this for thousands of years and would regularly burn the land. If it dosent build up the fire dosent linger and get hot enough to catch the big trees on fire.
Yeah basically just waiting for a match. I'm from Michigan and were allowed to take and use any dead fall here for campfires, wood stoves or the like. However there they claim that its a habitat or some shit. Basically asking for fires.
The government refuses to gather brush and clean the forest because it disturbs “muh ecosystem”
This brush is literally fuel to make fires rage. Most states require brush be gathered and dealt with to stop such things, the states that don’t are coincidentally the ones who have deadly uncontrollable fires but the left chalk it up to muh global warming.
Yeah the clearing of the underbrush clearing stopped in particular to save a species of owl from going extinct. So to save some owls hundreds of other animals let alone humans die in these fires every year. Who issued the act to stop clearing the underbrush you ask? Good ol Billy boy Clinton.
Shit forest management policies that allow fuel to build up to catastrophic levels. Western state forests commonly are based on lifecycles that include periodic fires. Suppress those fires and you invite calamity.
The horrid state of PG&E’s grid is an indictment not just of the utility’s management and operations, but on the lack of oversight by the state regulator and prosecutors who could also have put the boot on PG&E’s neck. As we wrote:
PG&E has become a prime, if not the number one, case study in the human cost of corporate penny pinching…
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published a major story based on extensive Freedom of Information Act disclosures, providing evidence of PG&E’s systematic, willful neglect not just of maintenance but even of inspections of its transmission lines, despite knowing full well that their decrepit state constituted a serious fire risk….

They won’t let you trim trees away from power lines, for starters.
lack of forest management and poor infrastructure
doesn't it have something to do with mismanaging forests and allowing them to become flammable?
they arent allowed to clear deadfall
yep that was it. The deadfall builds up over time and is dry right?

Don't forget the regulators failing to require PG&E to maintain their infrastructure.
