What's new

No Electricity for you this weekend

Im claiming its a possibility.

They buried the wires in xx% of Paradise California, the interesting thing is the wires that they buried in Paradise California didnt start the fire, the wires that started the "Camp Fire" were 100 year old "High 500K Voltage" towers that were not maintained properly.
I see you added to your first comment.

First if you are saying a public company, whose sole goal is to make money, is being petty and cutting off power you are farther off the deep end than i thought.

Second, yes they have been burying the new wires-you know why-because of fire risk. Its a hell of a lot more $$ to underground them.

third, if i remember correctly those wires were in an area where the property owners were being difficult with PGE accessing them.

Also, The Camp Fire was caused by the failure of a single metal hook attached to a PG&E transmission tower ; per the interwebs

I know you are in Paradise so this is sensitive subject. But to say that PGE is cutting power out of spite is laughable.
 
Live through a fire that leveled a town like mine and you might have a different POV.

I can’t surf in the ocean or ski in the snow in the same day… but I can burn my leaves and use my 2 cycle backpack blower :flipoff2:

My kid in Chico still has power.

It’s windy as hell here, but we have SMUD for power. Worst case is a tree takes out some lines, then I break out the generator :grinpimp:
 
Didn’t it rain there yesterday ? WTF ?
Edit: Times of India reporting ng grassfire near Oakland tying up traffic for the weekend. Oh well :pinky:
 
Well just like machine guns after a generation or so no more ICE's.

With use comes worn out engines, can replacement engines be purchased and shipped into California, I doubt it.


Dumbasses. Ban of sale, not of use.

California signed Assembly Bill 1346 into law, a bill that aimed to prohibit the sale of new gas-powered, small off-road engines and phase out certain equipment by January 2024.

So, does that include small off road engines like what’s used in dirt bikes, ATVs and UTVs?

Except that you "can't" have a machine gun at all in California.

Those I believe fall into OHVs.

No independency for YOU!!!
 
It has nothing to do with California it has to do with lifetime of the item being outlawed over time.

So no one has ever shot a MG in California is that what you are suggesting?


I don't own land out of state, and if I did, you still can't operate a mg in California :homer:.
 
It is SO FVCKING NICE to be retired and not deal with this BS, I feel sorry for my buddies having to deal with this.

We do not want to turn your lights off, I promise, or goal is to do all we can to keep the lights on and the BS of dumping huge blocks is a shit ton of work for these guys to patrol it all out before re energizing.
