I’m not defending them... but what are the chances that the state mismanagement of forestry leading to an excess of fuel that WILL eventually burn, and their hefty fines for the previous fire have made the power company cautious to the point that delivering service is a dangerous business prospective?

Is a utility forced to make decisions that could put the entire company at risk? IDK. I’m asking.

Their decision should be based on delivering power and maintaining the system. It shouldn't be based on profit or any sort of business prospective.
