This. Is bad analysis. How many conductors are damaged everyday in the normal course of business across their service area. The answer is not zero and over a week is probably >50

A spark on a Diablo winds day with dry gusts at 45-60 mph, humidity below 20% isn’t the same thing as a spark on other days. A spark on a normal weather day can relatively easily be contained by a fire dept. A spark on a Diablo Winds day is almost impossible to contain.

Only 4/20 largest wildfires were caused by electrical transmission. https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/5510/top20_acres.pdf … Power never shut off before. But it HAS to be shutoff now? What changed? Nothing except backlog of PG&E incompetence. 100 years of diablo winds its not like they are a new factor here

Fuel load is different these days. 150 million dead trees in California.

Rain comes later and later in the year, extending the length of fire season (and size of fuel load) into months like December.

I would expect there to be a lot of variation on this over the last even few decades
