Red Flag Warning Prompts Bay Area Residents to Prepare for Wildfire Power Shutoffs

Cal ISO managed to meet demand on Sunday but, later in the week, PG&E might start cutting power on purpose as changing winds ramp up the fire danger. Betty Yu reports. (9-6-20)

And WHEN do the new power plants get built again? We've been putting up with this BS since the 90's. Time to dump the legislature and put in people who want to BUILD NEW INFRASTRUCTURE.

That's funny - work from home on your computer but we have to cut the power.

California is literally a hot mess. Have a box of necessary items prepared for your pets too in case you need to evacuate.

Restore the power twice as fast....what is considered fast? Prior to this some were without power for up to two week or more. That is a joke. First the Covid-19 pandemic, lives lost, wild fires, heat wave, businesses closing, people losing their jobs, evictions, and now power shuts offs. Are you trying to kill off more people than those who have already died? Californians can not catch a break. This has got to be the worst state that I have ever lived in before. So much suffering for its residents. I am suffering.

The important thing is the property values go up. Part of the New Normal

[willh]

why do you have to report from the rich neighborhood like Walnut Creek and Lafitte?

[SanBrunoBeacon]

If PG&E cannot manage the power grid without causing fires in hot summer weather, why aren't California regulators finding a new company to take over management of PG&E's business?

There's so many open Fields with tall dry grasses. Back in my old state. It was not allowed to have dry grass. The only time it is dried is when they are harvesting for hay. Other drought tolerant vegetation is grown in its place. Maybe we should treat California like our great plains

[bitterchild]

Doesn't PG&E just make you sick of them?

[foxnight]

Why wouldn’t you guys include the link for text updates....

Pilosi will take everybody to her house for ice cream.

This is due to reducing 8terabytes of electric capacity for green energy goals, not fire!

Will so many off work and businesses closed, why is there a shortage. We should have more than enough, with millions out of work. I smell something funny.

John 8:56-59 (KJV) Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Leave and move away those that can from cali. You're bound to lose everything.

[DRGREENRC]

Yea no wind in Santa Rosa. Yet them dbags still shut the power off

You not be able to work if your house burns down

[errantbrand]

Why do you have a mask on outside with nobody around? Don't be a fool.
