#1 Note it was again caused by a sparking high-voltage line.
..
So inquiring minds want to know ... if the stock value goes to zero (like Fox Biz predicted Friday) ... what happens to all the bond the State and local pension funds in California hold in that company and does the electricity go off for good?
Chapter 7 or Chapter ll?

#2 Time to proclaim Kalifornia a disaster area and move US military in?

#3 How about just giving chain saws to homeowners and allow them to trim trees and stuff(you know, the green combustible thingies sprouting from the ground) around their homes and then also extend that to power companies to do the same around power lines.

and require those hard core eco-weenies to 'voluntarily' house those displaced by the fires in their homes.

#4 Fifty years ago they would have brought in the teams and clear cut a generous path for the wires, made an access road and hauled the debris off to be burned. Today the mandatory environmental impact statements (plus the inevitable barrage of lawsuits) to even start planning would cost more than the earlier work -- and they want to know why the company has been ignoring the problem !?!

Are you crazy? The environmentalist would be up in arms. Surely, doing that would be endangering the already endangered Woolly Spotted Speckled Beaknosed Leopard Shrew. Now what more important I ask you?

#6 So what they're really saying is, in the case of a civil war, people should set California on fire and it'll shut off power on its own and cause mass panics? Food for thought.

#7 When the power goes off for a long time what are the odds of Greens being lynched?
