For the fun of it, let's play this one a few moves out:

 - About 300 fires are started from people using their generators.

 - Generators are outlawed for safety and 'carbon footprint' reasons.

 - The most downloaded app is the one that helps people narc on their neighbors for doing bad things (like running a generator.)

 - <stuff, stuff stuff>

 - Everyone pays higher prices for energy.


I considered buying some property in the Santa Cruz mountains one time.  It had burnt a few years prior.  Cause of the fire?  Someone's solar panel.

One thing I've learned in researching this 'eco' stuff:  The eco crowd loves fire and the 'change agents' who make things happen use it regularly to achieve the kind of 'revolutionary change' that they've been indoctrinated into believing in.  The funny thing is that the people who are actually planning what get's burnt next are basically real-estate developers who have insider information about how various 'city plans' are going to come together a decade down the road.

I forgot exactly where I saw it, but there were some maps that showed the most recent round of fires and overlayed them with some massive real estate planning planned before the fact and they lined up perfectly. Quite a coincidence.

Why doesn't another company buy them out? A big company with a lot of clients goes bankrupt, go to their clients and give them an offer. Your bill goes up because they couldn't provide services at former price per KW or you are left with no power. Most of them would agree to pay more.

Is there really a ban on the generators in the US? I saw many videos of US residents buying old army generators. I also saw them retrofit fuel generators to run on natural gas. In the EU we can have generators and don't have to register or anything.

Lot's of Californians already moved into their cars.  The power embargo shouldn't hurt them much.

Lucky that my cousins chose to live in TX years ago.

As someone who works for a power company the solution seems simple to me.   Bury the lines in conduit underground. 

Of course, due to the expense, this is not something the company would do voluntarily due to the massive expense but it is something that can be ordered by the state public service commission.  It would likely take a few years and result in rate hikes, but at the point where you are dealing with not having power for days, does it really matter?

My facebook feed is full of posts about people desperately trying to find generators, or in need of water because their well pumps are no longer operational.  I'm seeing pictures of supermarket shelves sitting empty, and lots of folks claiming they're going to go solar as a result (not understanding that solar needs a functioning grid or battery backup system to function, and would thus be useless in this scenario).  It's an eye opener for how unprepared most people are to handle such a simple inconvenience even with a warning.  In a real crisis, things will likely get very ugly, very fast.

Prevent wildfires? People with candles and gas lanterns when the lights go out is going to prevent wildfires?


California to shut down power for up to a WEEK in multiple counties to “prevent wildfires”

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is about to preemptively turn off people’s electricity throughout California in anticipation of what the company says is an upcoming “severe wind event” – and for some customers, this intentional power outage could last upwards of a week.

According to reports, PG&E’s planned blackouts will begin in the early morning hours of October 8, and will affect as many as 800,000 PG&E customers in 34 northern, central, and coastal counties throughout the Golden State.

Another 100,000 Southern California Edison customers in eight SoCal counties will also reportedly be affected by these planned blackouts, as electric officials insist that this drastic move is necessary to “prevent wildfires” and keep people “safe.”

“What we’re working on right now is determining if and where we’ll need to turn off power in the interest of public safety,” stated PG&E spokesman Jason King to The Weather Channel, noting that only “portions” of the counties where it provides electric service will be affected.

“Our meteorology and our operations teams are monitoring conditions in real time,” he added. “(A) determination hasn’t (been) made yet what portions of each of the counties will be turned off.”

This is what happens when you give greedy capitalists control over a basic utility that everyone depends on.

Anybody who has control like this either becomes a greedy capitalist, or becomes controlled by greedy capitalists. Socialism would fare the same or worse.

The answer is to create your own power, and not rely on something like PG&E.

I was never sure you had no idea what communism was until now.  All this time I thought you were making a nuanced argument that involved mental gymnastics of connecting communism to the USSR/china/north korea to modern day leftists but now that you bring capitalist california into that realm, it turns out I was giving you too much credit. 

tecshare communism= any bad feature in society.

Generators don't work too many hours in a row without getting damage, this increases the risk of fire so relying on them to pass the whole power outage is dumb.

Everyone living in a developed country hasn't experienced a power outage that lasts several days that's something different than a power outage that lasts hours.

I hope everyone in the California state that believes socialism is the answer to their problems, take this experience to change their mind

Sorry, but theres a reason everyone else in the country calls it Kalifornia, or Kommiefornia

[coins4commies]

they think communism is "the government doing things" and not an economic system because that is what they were taught.

Good point. Maybe this is the real reason why PG&E is doing the blackout. Their generators have been working too many hours in a row.

It's more than just an economic system. It's also the govt controlling/regulating almost every aspect of the citizen's lives.
