Prager On Why California Is Burning

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog

Much of this Prager U video on why California wildfires are burning out of control will be familiar to you, but this succinct six minute overview does a good job of hitting the highlights.

•  “In 2018 [government owned Pacific Gas & Electricity] spent $2.4 billion on renewables. By comparison, in 2017, it spent $1.4 billion on existing infrastructure.”

•  “The forests grow ever more dense [because California Democrats have all but outlawed logging].”

•  “Brush builds up because controlled burns are not permitted.”

•  “Developers build in wilderness areas.”

•  “The dominant power company chases its renewable energy mandate at the expense of nuts and bolts line maintenance.”

•  “PG&E is in bankruptcy, sued into oblivion, with no viable plan to fix the grid.”

•  “Instead of bringing vital infrastructure into the 21st century, California is voluntarily turning itself into a third world country. That’s what happens when progressives and environmentalists run things.”

•  “The Golden State isn’t going green, it’s going broke and it’s going dark.”

Bonus Babylon Bee: “Nation Gets Preview Of Gavin Newsom Presidency.”

    As the entire nation watched in horror at the devastation being unleashed on California by multiple wildfires, the American people were treated to a preview of what a Gavin Newsom presidency might look like.

    As fires raged throughout Los Angeles and surrounding hills this week and forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes. Gavin Newsom surveyed the fires as Americans saw firsthand what a Newsom presidency might look like.

    “A flaming hellscape? Ok, good to know that’s what we’d have to look forward to,” North Dakota resident Mark Larsen said. “Add in rampant taxes, thousands of illegal aliens pouring across the border, and no prosecution for criminals? The country’s future has never looked brighter. Brighter because of fire.”

... government owned Pacific Gas & Electricity ...

1. The company name is Pacific Gas & Electric.

2. Pacific Gas & Electric is privately (investors), not government owned.

3. LA, where the fires are burning, has its own municipally operated electric utility, so PG&E may be irrelevant to these fires.

4. It may not have begun in 2018, but PG&E is doing a massive multi-year project to move power lines underground, to improve fire safety, so it is investing heavily in infrastructure.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
