    800,000 in California without power. These left-wingers run everything into the ground. They are a disgrace.

    Simply for failure to clear brush from around the towers and along the transmission lines, something that was done routinely in California all of my life until about a decade or so ago. They literally stopped clearing the fire breaks and stopped clearing the chaparral underneath the lines. Its incomprehensible. Cutting power is irresponsible.

    California is liberal. They will, generally, always elect a real leftist to be Governor. But they also have a reputation for ejecting an incompetent Governor from office regardless of who might replace them. I really hope Gavin Newsom gets the Gray Davis treatment. I'm betting there are 800,000 people without power who would sign the recall petition that is circulating.

    Pretty sure having a gas guzzler won't help, either. Seems like there's a bit of electricity needed to pump the gas.

    CALIFORNIA IS SOOOOOOOOOO DUMB!!!

    Maintenance suffered, but at least PG&E profits and CEO salaries are up.

    Electric cars are the future!

    As for needing electricity to pump gas from an underground tank? Ever hear of a hand-cranked siphon?

    With gasoline?
    Static electricity will blow your ass to kingdom-come.

    Really? Even with a ground strap? Isn't that how electric pumps work?
