California power outages... Democrats are to blame

[EvilCat Breath]

It isn't a hands off policy that allowed the creation of huge wildfires. It's the suppression of all naturally occurring fires that allowed dead brush to accumulate.

Democrats have created an entirely new danger. The Santa Ana wind alert. They are portraying this like it is some new and horrible thing we have never seen before. Cut the power. The wind is blowing.

Democrats need to be exorcised from the state legislature.

The problem is if you want to go back to the limited burn philosophy you either have to clear the choked areas, or let the "big burn" happen one more time to clear the area to allow for the limited burn control strategy to work.

The alternative is to let the state burn. Actually renting a few goat herds would help. Catalina has been using fire suppression goats for decades. Why do you think natural fire suppression isn't being used? Because the dead brush provides natural habitat for insects.

Goats would clear that brush down to the ground.

Given the current level of overgrowth, you would need a shit-ton of goats.

And most of the current overgrowth is already dead, hard, and pretty much indigestible by almost anything.

Goats are good part of an ongoing growth maintenance program, less effective on a backlog, although they can be used to eat the living growth to get to the dead stuff easier if you are going with manual removal.

Ten goats can clear an acre in four days.

First Enron and now this. If I was a Californian I'd follow the money to see if Elon Musk and SolarCity are behind this.

Despite what Democrats might tell you, powerlines aren't a new thing. What is a relatively new thing is the Democrats hands off the forest policy. California used to maintain the forest but Democrats decided in the 90s that a hands off the forest policy was better for the environment and cheaper. Now forest fires are larger and more frequent then ever. A lot of the forest Democrats were trying to preserve have been burned to the ground.

If you're a Democrat and you don't like the power shutdown, you're an idiot. You voted for it and the people who brought California to this point. I was there in the 90s warning all of you that your efforts to save some snail and the spotted owl would lead to devastation. Now Californians are seeing the effects of Democrat rule and should only be laughed at if they complain about it.

Don't be stupid people... don't be Democrats...

Global Warming

It will only get worse

Obama bets a $15M mansion on the beach that global warming does not get worse.

Even Obama knows better than to take Democrats seriously

This is Socialism.....they have to cut the power so they can raise rates on consumers.

Liberals can't figure out a way of transporting power over areas that are prone to grass-fires. So they have to cut the power.
It makes perfect sense.
Vote Democrat.

Just had another one and more to come. This is the "new normal" Democrats tell us about. Just a part of America's "managed decline".
