no, if pg&e lose a multi-year court battle, they may have to pay out after murdering a town full of people. the actual people who made the decisions are immune to any prosecution

pg&e then gets to raise rate to pay for any settlements from burning down towns. and any executives involved has long fled with their bonuses

The electric utility equivalent of murder cops' lawsuits getting paid out of the general fund which can only be replenished by raising regressive taxes on the people the cops are murdering

I take care of some area that's kind of gray area down in a ravine that no one else ever clears ivy and other weeds from. Hoses don't reach all that way.

The lights are a background image from different satellites, the GOES-16/17/18 ABIs are not sensitive enough to cleanly measure city lights like that. They can pick up the faint glow from big cities if there is a low cloud blanket or fog, but that's about it.

The article, surprise surprise, is unrelated to the headline. The article is all about how "Managed retreat" a government program for helping people leave disaster prone areas needs to get more focus and resources that are currently going to rebuilding in disaster prone areas.

Yup, I got up at 6 this morning only to be surprised that my living room was orange. It was super windy yesterday, with a ton of dust blowing around everywhere, and when I got home my wife told me that there was a fire advisory and I was like.. hoo boy.

At least it’s exciting : )

Yeah the wind yesterday kind of reminded me of Santa Annas (although pretty mild version) so I’m not surprised but between a fire in estacada and one by Salem the whole area is just socked in with smoke. Hopefully doesn’t get as bad as 2020 but I think it’s supposed to be windy again today :ohdear:

a friend in estacada sent us a pic of a playground on fire near his house this morning and was like "huh, maybe I should be leaving?"

everything is orange and flat outside like a sad fanta :catstare:
