A plan by California's biggest utility to cut power on high-wind days during the onrushing wildfire season could plunge millions of residents into darkness. And most people aren't ready.
The plan by PG&E Corp. comes after the bankrupt utility said a transmission line that snapped in windy weather probably started last year's Camp Fire, the deadliest in state history. While the plan may end one problem, it creates another as Californians seek ways to deal with what some fear could be days and days of blackouts.

Fiddlesticks. If that happens I can only imagine another mass exodus from there to Texas. We have enough people already. Not to mention far left leaning liberals from that place.

Wait! What? Are we talking about building a wall around California to keep those people in? Or we talking about building a wall around Texas to keep them out?

Seems the fire risk and therefore [at least] some liability would be much higher if they leave everyday people to rigging back up generators and alternate power on the fly.
