SAN FRANCISCO -- Pacific Gas and Electric says it could take as long as five days to turn the power back on for nearly 800,000 customers across California. It's part of preemptive power shutdown due to fire danger, impacting the Bay Area and surrounding counties. The utility says re-energizing power lines takes time. Crews will need to inspect every power line by land and air before restoring power. "We hope to be able to restore power within 24 to 48 hours, however we are taking about a large swath of our service territory. We have helicopters, ground crews that will be

Once again the rate payers and citizens of CA will take it in the shorts because PG&E failed to maintain the electrical system they built. Typical globalist totalitarians; if we're going to be held responsible for our actions, then everyone else will also feel pain. I remember when I was in school (way back in the last century) and one of the hallmarks of a third world, communist hellhole was unreliable electricity. Welcome to California!
I'm of a mind that this whole overblown fiasco is intended to be a "training opportunity" for the serfs, er public.

The dummies in CA keep electing Democrats. The current reprobate governor, Newsome, smirks when questioned about the power outages and calls them completely justified.

Not a problem with all the renewable energy incorporated into Califoristan's energy inferstructure. Wind mills and solar panels will fill in for the 800,000+ .

It’s just crazy here! A great job is being done in alarming people - not so good in getting actual specific info out. Oh, and then PG&E delays some planned outages, plus announces more areas may be affected. All for a “wind event” that hasn’t occurred. So poorly done!

This has a touch of BS about it. PG&E wants applause for doing their job. The inspections should be on-going 24/7/365. Like the baby who wants you to applaud his latest bm.

How in hell ! does this not redound on the liberal dems who have created this. Toss 'em out, for God's sakes.
An occasional 1/2 day without out power is bad enough, perhaps manageable as ridiculous and unnecessary as it is, but days and days ? Peeps won't put up with this. If they do accept it, they deserve it.

Many woke CA cities are now banning the future use of natural gas in new home building. Wait until the power goes out for a few days and homeowners can't even take a hot shower.

SOMEHOW, the entire rest of the country manages to have electric power 24/7/365.
But not in Crazyfornia, because they so much smarter than all the rest of us.
Just ask them.

As with Venezuela I don't support US military intervention to liberate CA from the corrupt socialists.
However if Commie Cuban advisers do appear there to aid the regime then all bets are off!

Where is the outrage against the state, and the power co. Who in their right mind would allow such a thing? If the power co. can't run a safe operation get rid of them. What the hell are we paying them for?

This is an indictment of Cali goobermint's poor forest management, failure of PG &E to put their system underground, and the presence of smart meters on homes. Meanwhile invest in a home generator as backup.

Why do I suspect that PG&E is manned by Social Justice Affirmative Action types?

I would, as communities, vote to withhold their taxes from the california Government. This situation is abusive, and incompetent.
