I’m not a fan of the editorial style but an interesting point.

Republicans living in areas directly affected too, from a quick scan of the comments. Unbelievable how deep the unreality has spread.Republicans living in locations NOT directly affected:
There's no accounting for stupid.
Some hopefully properly good news:

Good thing gigantic rolling blackouts due to fire danger never happen in my state.
And controlling the Mississippi has lead to the delta not being refreshed with silt and mud, so it's disappearing.
or pg&e start a fire
literally the reason for the blackouts
I can't believe the state hasn't taken over that company
it would get worse...?
just trying to think of something that they are managing well....
you would know better than me given residence....
healthcare funding
snow removal
Generally speaking the highway system in a state with by far the most drivers on the road
Literally making their own insulin because stupid pharmaceutical companies.
for real
The state has money, a bit of some 'overqualified' people working there, and not a publicly traded stock price to make line go up. PGE has killed a few thousand people at this point with gas pipeline explosions and wildfires.
PGE is a buy up competitor monopoly. They're too big and too lazy. For all the dumbass shit CA state govt does, PGE is worse and more dangerous.
I've worked with quite a few people in state government that are legitimately competent and good people. Like everything else, the big problems come with the demagoguery from top down management from ego maniacs and clout chasers mobilizing a huge non-elected administrative arm. Not perfect but PGE's track record is pretty horrendous at this point.

i like the coast up north....and the nevada side of california....
hella east cal yo
I live about 0.5miles from the NV state line and rarely go too far west
This state operates like it's own nation. And like nations, the unintended consequences tend to be the ugliest side. We are the warning sign belleweather of true neoliberalism. But I have no doubt the state gov could do a better job than PGE. Same power hungry mindset but replaceable in elections. We don't get to vote out PGE CEOs.
Southern California Edison is the other big power company here operating in an even more flammable climate. They've torched a few communities but nothing on the scale of PGE

Been looking at some modelling that suggests we may be in for a sustained El Niño run over one/three/x years. This could be bad if accurate, could push up global temperatures a couple of tenths of a degree fairly sharpish. I would once again suggest that living in the southwest of the continental USA isn’t a great idea as this trend intensifies.
And here we are, missed this apparently:

Climate models warn of possible ‘super El Niño’ before end of year
Climate researchers say magnitude of predicted weather event uncertain but if an extreme El Niño occurs ‘we’ll need to buckle up’

We are at +5C over regular fall temperature at this time, with record rains over the last few months.
We are looking at the hottest fall in nearly 30 years.
Another bit of good news, somewhat surprising too.

one day later....
the saudi ownership of water rights along the colorado basin is proof that this country doesn't care what it's doing as long as someone is making money, even if short lived.
There's a lot more ownership than just that little plot in AZ
As sea levels rise, the East Coast is also sinking
Coastal lands are subsiding and losing elevation, making rising seas all the worse.

It seems there isnt going to be a winter this year. Normally there is a 10C difference between summer/winter.
Well I for one can't wait to pay for rich people's houses to be saved.
Apparently also now happening in parts of CO
^that ain’t news. We had to fight tooth and nail to get our place insured. Finally had to explain that we are surrounded on three sides by tree farms. Tree farms get much better fire protection than municipal / public / wildlands, because they’re cash crops here.
