PGE got sued to oblivion last summer when wildfires, started primarily by arsonists, vagrants, drifters, hobos, and illegals (all who remain in cali) apparently burned up a good chunk of the rural regions forests and they somehow wanted to blame that on utility lines and infrastructure that didn't somehow JUST PUT the fires out for the do nothing bankrupt state........
PG&E Plans To Cut Electricity To Some California Residents To Prevent Wildfires
that should make everyone happy this summer........when they just cut power to these regions of the state preemptively
I mean electricity is always the first to go in a socialist state
what did the socialists use before they had candles?
electricity
and candles will be illegal
I was their for the roving blackouts back in aught aught and aught 1. (cool, I got to say that once in my life.. twice if you know how old I really am. Is aught aught correct for 2000?).. Wildfires didn't get blamed then.. if I remember right.. they blamed enron

The mathematics of population growth
In an environment with unlimited natural resources, population size grows exponentially. One characteristic feature of exponential growth is the time a population takes to double in size.
Exponential growth tends to start slowly, sneaking up before ballooning in just a few doublings.
To illustrate, suppose Jeff Bezos agreed to give you one penny on Jan. 1, 2019, two pennies on Feb. 1, four on March 1, and so forth, with the payment doubling each month. How long would his $100 billion fortune uphold the contract? Take a moment to ponder and guess.
After one year, or 12 payments, your total contract receipts come to US$40.95, equivalent to a night at the movies. After two years, $167,772.15 – substantial, but paltry to a billionaire. After three years, $687,194,767.35, or about one week of Bezos' 2017 income.
The 43rd payment, on July 1, 2022, just short of $88 billion and equal to all the preceding payments together (plus one penny), breaks the bank.
Real population growth
For real populations, doubling time is not constant. Humans reached 1 billion around 1800, a doubling time of about 300 years; 2 billion in 1927, a doubling time of 127 years; and 4 billion in 1974, a doubling time of 47 years.
On the other hand, world numbers are projected to reach 8 billion around 2023, a doubling time of 49 years, and barring the unforeseen, expected to level off around 10 to 12 billion by 2100.
This anticipated leveling off signals a harsh biological reality: Human population is being curtailed by the Earth's carrying capacity, the population at which premature death by starvation and disease balances the birth rate.

HIS PUNISHMENT: A $280 fine
The feminist group blasted out a statement shortly after Mr. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh, saying him confimation would "further erode protections for nearly every marginalized group in America". Judge Kavanaugh now faces what could be a hard fight for confirmation by the US Senate, where Republicans hold only a slim majority.
Judge Kavanaugh clerked for Justice Kennedy - just like Justice Neil Gorsuch. "Justice Kennedy's resignation letter barely arrived in the President's hands before several Democratic colleagues began declaring their blanket opposition to anyone at all - anyone - that the President might name", McConnell said Monday.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey commended Trump on the nomination of Kavanaugh. This nominee was hand-picked by anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice groups in an explicit effort to undermine equality - and the prospect of a Justice Kavanaugh threatens to erode our nation's civil rights laws, block transgender troops from bravely serving this nation and allow a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people in every aspect of American life.
The 53-year-old Cavanaugh is now a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and previously served under President George W. Bush's administration as staff secretary to the office of the president.
Trump chose the 53-year-old federal appellate judge for the seat opened up by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Despite the rhetoric, abortion rights are unlikely to be removed. From July 2003 until May 2006, he served as assistant to the president and staff secretary to the president.
Kavanaugh is a longtime fixture of the Republican legal establishment.
In his 12 years on the D.C. Circuit, Judge Kavanaugh has demonstrated a devotion to legal text and constitutional principle.
An appointee of George W. Bush, Kavanaugh's first notable role in public life was helping to draft the Starr report, which detailed the sexual relationship between former President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky and called for the President's impeachment.
A confirmation would solidify the Supreme Court's conservative majority and continue President Trump's push to shift the federal bench to the right. The official spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement. A Ronald Reagan nominee, Kennedy joined the high court in February 1988. He described his mom as a "trailblazer", who started as an elementary school teacher before attending law school, becoming a prosecutor and eventually a judge.
He also said criminal investigations affecting a sitting president are "time-consuming and distracting" and should be deferred until after the end of a president's term.
What Could Complicate Kavanaugh's Nomination? McConnell, who called Kavanaugh a "superb choice", hasn't explicitly said whether his goal is to complete a confirmation before the November midterm elections.
Trump is announcing his selection Monday night.
In Federalist Papers 78, Alexander Hamilton memorably described the Supreme Court as the "least unsafe branch".
Democratic senators seen as potential swing votes in favor of President Donald Trump's latest nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, said Monday following his nomination that they would examine his record closely.
When the court refused to reconsider its ruling, Kavanaugh dissented, saying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had exceeded its authority in seeking to regulate carbon emissions under a specific EPA program.

Just read that McInsane approves of the new SCOTUS pick. Not good, Trump, not good at all. Pick someone else, please.
