This is what happens when you burn down Paradise.  Down another 30% today on its fall from 30 to 17.

 

The Camp Fire is still not contained and battle now is for Oroville.

Well, no. That's the price of stupid environmental policy. As much as I'd like to say, "SEE?!?!?" I really hate that this is happening.

Yes...the last several years have been a direct result of nearly 50 years of failed environmental policy.

 

Climates don't change but they do go though cyclical periods of slight modulation due to forces that no animal on the planet can effect.

Might want to take a look at the preferred stocks...no matter how much the liability for the fire, it's not like the company is going away.

Well, you can only say "failed" if you know the intent. If the intent was to line the pockets of a bunch of climate grifters, rent seekers, and international elitists at the expense of the the worlds poorest and much of our "fat middle" then it has been a resounding success, at least over the past 20-30 years!

Strong winds and dry weather is just that...weather.

 

Weather is created by the climate of a region based on factors to great to be altered or even manipulated.

 

Forest management, or the lack thereof, goes back to the environmentalists of the 1960's and 1970's who thought we should allow nature to "do her thing".

 

Lack of water leads to leaf and pine needles dropping...trees take up a lot of water...take away the water, they die...allow too many trees to grow, and this just exasperates the problem.

 

It's called failed conservation management....and politicians own this especially the current leader of the club who spews that "we have to get used to this".

Power lines should be buried, especially in drought stricken regions.  PG&E has been on the hook for wildfire damages in the past caused by things like arcing.  Rather than spending the money to do so, they've chosen to buy insurance policies and chance it out that events like the Camp Fire won't occur.  Zero sympathy here.

You all may want to look into the U.N.s (NWO) agenda 21 and for their plans for California and the rest of the US.   Look up fires of California and agenda 21.  Just about every country signed it (including US) back in early 90's. You may not like what you find down that rabbit hole.
