It started at 180,000 customers out of power.

Now I heard on radio it’s up to 1,000,000.
They were talking about cDOT asking for patience and forgiveness at nonfuntional stoplights. Etc. this could get ugly.

If that is the case, various groups of observers have to be watching and taking notes.


1. The EMP Pinch Crowd.
2. Preppers
3. FEMA
4. Dept of energy
5. Homeland Security
6. NSA

When they got their power back on they will get to see on the news that this is all Trump’s fault

What's the problem? This has to be MASSIVELY reducing their carbon footprints.

The power is out so the lines are dead so they won't spark fires when the wind knocks them down.

I love to bag on California as much as anyone but they're being pretty proactive here.

Now they need to be more proactive in their risk reduction so it doesn't get to this point but that's another topic.

PG&E is getting tired of being sued for California wildfires. Good risk mgt strategy on their part.

I am sure there will be several lawsuits. Loss of wages, reimbursement for spoiled food, etc. All financed by the U.S. Taxpayer.

I’m very interested in what an area of 1 million customers out of power are going to collectively do.

I assume that the nursing homes and hospitals are generator-ready......burnin off that fossil fuel

Grocery stores sold out of refrigerated/frozen foods?


Are one million customers prepared of their fridge is out of power for one week?

Cut the power to prevent forest fires.
Force residents to cook on open flame outside.
What could go wrong?

The is a test for when left gets back to WH to slowly start doing this around the country.. We can't let them take back the WH.. If you don't have power they can control the information

Just wait until the generator, grill, and candle fires start.

This is what happens when you combine a dysfunctional government with a monopolistic, profits first, DGAF company.

Us in Louisiana are used to this...

Only at times in parts of FL, Al, Ms, La & TX, & the east coast (hurricane areas). This is nothing new to us; it's just part of living in paradise.

Frick PG&E

PG&E for decades has under-maintained lines/equipment with a grin, wink and nod from the the California Utilities commission. Both corrupt to the core.

California has price suppression laws to keep them in the hole many years. When something happens with wildfires, every piss ant Californian wants to sue them.

You, the state and slimy lawyers already did. That’s why they’re cutting off the power.

You should really do some cause & effect analysis on this.
