1. CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE/BLACKOUT/PG&E MEGATHREAD

About a month ago, @timothyhade (curse his name) wrote to say, "hey, you should look into this CA situation, it's nuts." So I did. By the time I was done, I'd written 15,000 words on it. 😵

So here's a master-thread summary.

#4 Localized energy plan isn't making sense to me.

If I understood Campfire correctly, the population exceed the infrastructure's ability to perform a rapid mass exodus.

#3 IIUC This guy blames--surprise, surprise--housing sprawl, the whipping-boy of every right-thinking enviro-fanatic. These fools have contributed to the affordable housing crisis by PREVENTING housing from being built in the near suburbs with stifling environmental rules and restrictions.

The solution is more suburban housing of the sort that every family in California wants: with a yard and access to fast highway transportation. Not the green fantasy of more dense housing.

#1 PGE shares the blame with Gov. Nuisance and the greens for poor forestry practices. Why not enlist the homeless as firefighters? They and piss and $hit on the flames
