A year ago, before downed electric lines were blamed for the Camp fire, there was talk of simply shutting off the power on risky days. There are many considerations:
A. It might have saved lives and certainly property, had they done it that day. 🙁
B. OTOH…at what point are they not delivering the product that folks are paying for?
C. And also, are the fees, taxes, etc adequate to provide safe means delivering power ….especially in crazy remote areas where people are carving out house developments.
D. Shut off power too much and ….there will be reason to give up on CA.
E. If people stay, best they find their own methods for power, especially if they are not set to ‘go Pioneer’ quickly. Especially if they have special needs like Cpap machines, O2, etc.
