Can't cut down foliage near power lines, so it limits how much power can be sent and prevents upgrades. Can only work on the lines when a forest fire takes out the foliage naturally. Clown World type shit.
Add to that some nice price controls to restrict the money available to reinvest.
In the '90s, you could not clear any brush on your own private property because of the Kangaroo mouse. Over decades, tumbleweeds stacked up along fence lines -- in particular, Malabu.
One hot summer, fires, pushed by the Santa Ana winds, swept through all the high-dollar estates -- burning down nearly all the homes...along with the Kangaroo mouse. There was so much undergrowth the mice didn't stand a chance.
Oh, the homes and people didn't fair any better.
California has been in a steady state of stupid for many, many decades.
The POS here say “we lead America” I want to slit my wrist every time I hear that nonsense...these psycho paths here in La think Kamala is great...I’m loosing my shit over here
you legally cannot remove the underbrush because it is the habitat of some mouse. The brush builds as tinder and a fire rages through burning all the brush and the mouse.
It gets worse, then you sue the power company for not shutting power off and starting a fire.... and if the power company does shut power off, you sue them for shutting power off and not being able to get your life saving medical devices to work because they shut the power off.
I guess if you have enough fires you won't need to be afraid of the Sierra Club anymore. Won't need to trim the trees and brush because it's all be burned up in catastrophic fires. Good thing we avoided making a decision or having a conflict. phew.
It’s a good thing the US is a federation so California can experiment with their ridiculous energy policy themselves without having to bully the whole country into them. And let’s thank the Founding Fathers for the Electoral College!
Wasn't invasion. Planted in purpose by railroad company for cheap fast-growing wood. Didn't realize it is split so easily and was worthless for tracks.
part of the reason. the main issue is how they explode during already started fires, basically they help the fire progress much faster. but again its part of the reason.
Yeah so either you do preventative burning like the aboriginals have done for years where they lived. Or you wait till nature takes care of it in one big home destroying, life taking Forest Fire every few decades.
Every utility has price controls. That financial problems of the utilities is because of all the lawsuits from forest fires, and the expensive regulatory requirements

The consequences of Dem Rule.
Wait they can only work on the lines if a forest fire clears the trees?
Oh look, the whole state is on fire!

Rake the leaves, morons.
Guy was arrested on Federal charges for doing just that.
But what about the poor mouse?

how odd.
I'm sure some tax-payer funded, multi-million dollar govt study came to the conclusion this was best for the mouse.
They did it on purpose to cause a fire like that because they’re an actual death cult.

Agree.
Eucalyptus is the reason for the fires. It's invasive from Australia. The wood is flammable because the fire activates the seeds.
Cali power is liable for fire. They shouldn't be.

Huh, now that you mention it. Wherever there are tracks in CA there are eucalyptus trees.
If you drive through Montana de Oro, you can see the eucalyptus are planted in rows.
