What do you know about the relationship between high wind in a limited area and fire risk in surrounding areas with lower wind? I personally know nothing. How do we know the low-wind objection isn't equivalent to saying "This summer was cold, so much for global warming!" ?

Unsure what your comment even means. The Sacramento area had similar weather, yet their publicly-owned electric utility had zero outages. Why? A big reason is that SMUD doesn’t have decades and decades of deferred maintenance. The issue isn’t the weather, it’s PG&E’s negligence.

I don't understand why the data you shared is dispositive. I'm not trying to defend PG&E, which is think is mismanaged and negligent, regardless.

If you aren’t defending PG&E, I’m confused as to what you are doing.

I'm asking how the data you shared is dispositive. Given this is a systems-level issue, I'm not sure what isolated wind speed data proves, how it fits into fire risk models, etc.

Hardly any of those wind speeds has been historically necessary for such widespread shutdowns. AND PG&E isn’t maintaining their shit: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/amp/PG-E-is-less-than-one-third-done-with-its-2019-14483596.php … What you are doing is defending PG&E. Life is too short to argue with bad faith internet personalities. All the best.

Sacramento is flats. Doesn't have the same kind of fire risk. https://www.defensibleapp.com/

SMUD covers nearly 1,000 square miles, most of it east of Sac going into the Sierra foothills, with tons of towns in the wildland interface.

What has changed is PG&E’s fear of further liability, especially since they still aren’t maintaining the infrastructure or vegetation causing fire risk near lines.

If they had a mass wildfire right now, bc of the way bankruptcy law is structured, they’d have to wipe out compensation for 2017/2018 wildfire victims.https://twitter.com/jared_ellias/status/1182148093166284800?s=21 …

So we can’t have nice things because of the way a greedy and murderous monopoly has structured their bankruptcy settlement?
