Blame the greenies

Mon., Nov. 18, 2019

Wildfires in California caused by antiquated power grid? Blame the greenies that have invested trillions in “alternative power,” which contributes relatively little, instead of a modernized power grid.

Not only would that new grid have prevented many of the wildfires, but would also eliminate more “lost power” due to line loss than all the alternative power options produce. Oh yeah, and eliminate power poles, outages, grid threat, and possibly a capacitive function further enhancing power usage. Blame the greenies, political donors, and corrupt politicians.
