The forest was mismanaged for 30+ years. The mountains in the reddest area of the state are burning down uncontrolled, and they've had to shut down one of the most spectacular engineered system of hydro plants in the world as the forest burns up and takes the infrastructure with it. The people who's homes are burning are 80%+ MAGA. You were not even allowed to cut a tree on your own land here.

4 billion kilowatt hours per year, getting torched. It almost seems the fire was intentionally set...still under investigation.

You can't even collect rain water ! All rain water belongs to the state of California. I'm praying for rain

ridiculous. i’ve lived in CA my whole life and “fire season” was a SoCal thing with the Santa Ana winds. NorCal fires were never a yearly event like now. Dems been in charge for far too long.

How much you wanna bet there is a ton of Chinese money backing these infrastructure-dismantling policies?

This current electrical issue isn't from fires. They can't make enough in the daytime from solar/wind to keep the grid going at night, because they shut down NG and nuke plants.

California burns every year, and there were no grid issues until...PG&E lost a big lawsuit, and Sacramento shut down electrical production.
