No spam about it. I'm guessing you didn't even know that they were required by the State to shut power down. They didn't have a say in it.

That is very sad. Knew this would happen with some folks lives dependent on the power being on.

Just saw that a person on oxygen in CA died within minutes of the power being cut.

Yea, I don't post much. That's just me. Born and raised in California with all my closest family still living there. Not spamming, just posting how I see things, with a few facts mingled in there. -
Yeah... that’s pretty one-sided thinking, so I won’t even bother.
I agree with BlueFox... mostly moronic post. If you think it’s “comifornia” you’re welcome to leave.Alea jacta est! -

I skipped the previous 4 pages of posts, so if I repeat something already said, forgive me.
PG&E is not really to blame here, Comifornia is though. Over the top environmental laws make it impossible for PG&E to maintain all those power line right of ways. Endangered fauna, mammals, invertebrate, insects, mammals, etc, etc... make it illegal for them to clear many of these areas. The outrageous laws also make PG&E liable if a tree branch 1/4 mile away hits a power line then causes a fire. Following is a rather long explanation on why a 2 day wind event can turn into a week or longer power outage due to the laws in California.
PSPS is the acronym for “Public Safety Power Shutoff”.
New Ca law (enacted by PUC and signed by Gov Newsome) REQUIRES utilities (ALL, not just PG&E) to de-energize areas that face severe wind threat/ fire risk.
This has the Doppler effect of potentially impacting huge swaths of the State if that threat impacts a “Transmission” (500/230KV) Tower corridor(s).
When that level of shut off is enacted, you don’t just flip a switch back on. The law requires PG&E to physically/visually inspect every single piece of equipment (down voltage) of the shut down BEFORE it can be re-energized. This means every tower, line, transformer, pad apparatus, substation, pole, reclosure, etc.
This is why a 2 day event can potentially keep areas dark for several days after the threat has passed. It is a MASSIVE man hrs. labor intensive process on 24/7 overtime staffing.
PG&E loses HUGE $$ when this is enacted as thousands of meters are not spinning and the labor cost to comply is huge. They don’t want to do these. They are legally mandated to now. This is the arrangement that was brokered through the PUC to balance the conflicting liability/service reliability laws. It is all driven because of California’s “Inverse Condemnation” liability conflict with PUC’s previous fining of the Company based on outage reliability.
Prior, power shut off or outage = fine. Leave it on, and have ANY% role in a fire= 100% liability.
If a limb 1/4 mile away blew into a transmission line and brought down hot conductor starting a fire?
PG&E liable. No such thing as “Act of God” factored.
No other State in the Nation has these asinine conflicts of law.
So, to make this real. This is analogous to you knowing your daughter MAY have a bad hair dryer. Until she leaves, you shut your house main off. Now, by law, before you can flip the main switch back on, you must hire an electrician to inspect (and document) every breaker below your main, every wire in your attic, every wall switch, every outlet, etc. Then, you must one by one phase in all your breakers so you don’t shock load the system, then you have to go back and program all your digital electronics.
Multiply this by 50K square miles.

Isn't this discussion a good reason to encourage solar panels on a local level or even on rooftops? Although some states have tried to squash their use on behalf of power companies, maybe offsetting tax credits could be used for households who make the initial investment in the panels? Just a thought....

Actually the suspected point of origin is on my patrol and there are a ton of homeless camps and people near there. I find campfire rings out in the worse places for any kind of fire. -
A Public Safety Power Shutoff is not mandated by any California legislation. The power companies decide when and if it is needed or not.
PG&E’s current predicament is because a worn insulator on their line was found to have caused a fire in November 2018 that resulted in the death of 86 people (85 + 1 still missing, presumed dead). It also destroyed an entire town of 22,000. They do not have the funds to cover that liability, so they declared bankruptcy to protect themselves from the claims. It has nothing to do with California legislation.Alea jacta est! -

Good point Steve.
California, who wants the feds to pay for stuff, has no problem building the homeless apartments at close to 600k per unit. They allocated a billion plus bucks for that project, 3 years in the making. No problem supporting illegal immigration, another billion plus bucks, while fires destroy homes and take lives. Not just a one and done event either, happens on a yearly basis. Yet they always find money for free needles, free housing, free medical, etc.
Priorities....they need a dictionary out there. There comes a point in governing, when you have to put aside politics and agendas to do what is right for the masses you govern. Nobody out there has received that memo yet.HT SYSTEM-

My money is on the lady that talks to the bushes, I bet she set it on fire. I hope I don't see her carrying some tablets today. -

Someone said it would happen and it appears it has.
“A Northern California man died Wednesday approximately 12 minutes after power was cut to his home and the surrounding area, fire officials in the El Dorado County town of Pollock Pines said Friday. However, an autopsy said the outage wasn’t the cause of his death.”
The case is closed.

I can't like this post more than once, so I'll say it here too.
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

So now the fires are being tied to immigration and the homeless now....interesting view.

lol. I wasn't intending to defend PG&E as much as place an equal amount of blame on the state. PG&E has let their infrastructure age without proper maintenance. I believe they also were at fault for the large gas explosion that happened, I believe in San Bruno , due to lack of maintaining the gas lines on the peninsula.

Actually, reading this thread, it looks more like everyone else is trying to tell Californians what’s wrong them... 🤔Alea jacta est!
