"...what if the blame belongs not with climate change, but with climate change policies that the utilities and their benefactors in government favor?
There’s some evidence for this that insurance companies and displaced California residents might be interested in learning more about.
As taxpayers and utility ratepayers, they are all spending part of their workday financing solar energy schemes that may have led to high-pressure conditions affecting electrical equipment, which in turn sparked the fires.
How’s that?
At the time, what became known as the Thomas Fire was the largest wildfire in California’s history.
...But there was also a second, related fire that broke out in Ojai, a small city in Ventura County, located a little northwest of Los Angles.
This one hasn’t received as much attention in the national press, but it could be the key to unraveling what’s really going down with California’s misguided, big government policies.
That fire broke out about an hour later after a transformer reportedly exploded in a residential area on Koenigstein Road.
There are local witnesses who say they saw the flash of the explosion on the pole with the transformer, and others who say they heard the explosion.
...Let’s take a hard look at the facts.
The transformer exploded around 7 p.m. at the end of a sunny day.
Around that time, because of the solar energy mandates implemented under former Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, California’s power grid must ramp up in the evening with conventional energy when the sun goes down.
This cannot be done incrementally and gradually.
Instead, California’s power grid experiences what is known as a “duck curve” as solar energy drops off and conventional energy ramps up.
So, the key questions are: “Did solar power cause the Thomas Wildfire?”
Did it cause other wildfires?...
