California utilities not doing enough to reduce wildfire threats, auditor says

California utilities aren’t doing enough to prevent wildfires, according to the state auditor. In a report to the California Legislature, the State Auditor’s Office said that regulators had approved "[seriously] deficient" plans, including from the Pacific Gas and Electric Corp. (PG&E).

For all it's strict regs, California still can't police the utility idiots like PG&E.

You know what the drill is: they will just blame any wildfires on climate change.

Scapegoating PG&E isn’t going to magically reverse climate change and the 20+ year mega drought. For all the good it’ll do, you might as well blame me. It’ll have the same result.

PG&E negligence is mostly to blame for most of California's mega-wildfires over the last few years.

Perhaps. Has PG&E always been this bad or is this a relatively recent phenomenon? I’ve only first started hearing about them in the last couple three years.

I wouldn’t even call it a drought any more. It’s the new reality. Global warming models predicted this. The southwest will become a desert and the northeast will get colder because the Gulf Stream will move further east. The UK will become warmer as a result.

Yes, that does appear to be reality of it.

LOL what a total crock. California has had periodic droughts even before the territory became part of the US. Why? Because its mostly desert.
