I remember reading something about environmental laws that prohibited PG&E from removing the dead wood, basically tinder, under transmission lines because it was home to the burrowing owl or something. Which was the cause of all those massive fires, and the reason PG&E filed for bankruptcy: too high cost to repair/maintain the lines.
Which is also why CA began shutting down power during high wind advisories. I dont know if they still do it, but that is what happened up until it stopped being news worthy a few months ago.
For every problem in California, there is a craptastic animal being "saved"
Ironic about the animal [burrowing owl?] who lived in the dead wood PG&E was prohibited from removing is the habitat was destroyed by the fires anyways.
