It's also pretty clear that this is revenge pr0n for us getting all upset for them burning down paradise.Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison have started Public Safety Power Shut-offs (PSPS) in California wildfire high-risk areas.not exactly the diablo winds are way north in the state. but much of the power for the big metros is bought from the hydros in the northwest and has to come on lines through the windy area. for some years, pg&e traded short term profits for long term risk by not clearing the lines. their long term risk cost lives, jillions in property and other damage last fire season. now pg&e is in a severe liability pickle and madly trying to shovel kitty litter over it. the high risk is putting stockholders and profit before public safety and service.
I'm fairly certain that tech can help this problem along significantly, but that might cut into e-staff bonuses.
