https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/10/25/...s-to-boom.htmlThis generator maker's stock just soared to a record as PG&E power cuts cause business to boom
- Generac Holdings hit a new all-time high on Friday, bringing its 2019 gain to 82%.
- Power cuts in California are leading to a surge in demand for the company's backup generators.
- "This caught us totally off guard. We didn't see the largest utility in the US coming out and saying 'look our only solution is to turn the power off,'" Generac Holdings CEO Aaron Jagdfeld said.
- He said that the company has seen "three, four hundred percent increases in volumes out in California."

What the hell is PG&E thinking turning the power back on?
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/29/pge-...e-weekend.htmlPG&E says its power lines may have started 2 fires in California over the weekend
- Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power lines may have started two wildfires over the weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area, the utility said Monday.
- The news comes even though widespread blackouts were in place to prevent downed lines from starting fires during dangerously windy weather.
- The fires began in a section of town where PG&E had opted to keep the lights on. The sites were not designated as a high fire risk, the company said.

This looks promising:

Scientist have developed a lithium ion battery that charges at an elevated temperature to increase reaction rate but keeps the cell cool during discharge, showing the potential to add 200 miles of driving range to an electric car in 10 minutes. If scaled, the design is one potential strategy to alleviate concerns that all-electric vehicles lack sufficient cruise range to safely reach a destination without stalling mid-journey."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

What in the world is happening in North Dakota?Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostOne of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

There were a couple months this past summer that copmanies in the Permian were paying people to take the gas. It was pretty crazy. The biggest tragedy in this whole thing is that natural gas is so abundant but no one seems interested in using it was a bridge fuel to renewables. If we had better CNG infrastructure, green house gases would plummet and energy would be crazy cheap. Keep in mind that oil companies oftentimes still have to pay royalties to interest owners on the gas that is flared, even though the copmanies don't even sell the gas.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

The state of California mandated that PG&E pay for any sparked fires. So even though the hot, dry, windy weather is an act of God, if PGE opted to keep the lights on, it would bear 100% of the risk of the attendant fire. I would make the same call they did. Can't people see the correlation between the weather and fires?
Why don't HOAs and PODs and cities get together and bury their power lines?Last edited by Katy Lied; 10-31-2019, 10:31 AM.Comment

The problem is a lot more complex than that. There is plenty of culpability to go around, including to the CA leg that mandated PG&E spend a lot of its resources on renewables without allowing it to raise rates enough to pay for spending on maintenance at the same time. PG&E is poorly run but is also restricted from making its own choices.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
