Then I should get compensated for not having power even though I paid my bill on timeNOPE. On the chance of a malfunction
I say. Shut all the fucking lower off. And you all can deal with it.
Nope. Safety first. You know. Gotta protect everybody before your personal needs come into play.
. Sorry
You pay for what you use, if it's shut off you're not using any --- are you ?
So just because someone says something that makes it fact? C’mon.While I'm not up to date on the terms but know them when you say it, this is exactly what I was thinking, Edison will know very quickly if they had failure at the tower. I've said it a hundred times, I don't think it's Edisons equipment causing damn near every fire now when their equipment very very rarely caused fires 20+ year's ago. You and @oldman both state that lack of maintenance is not an issue but some dumbass at Edison said it was on live TV in 2018, so I will keep hammering the "Maintain your shit"
Just remember, this wasn't a problem until 15 years ago when almost all the the fires became Edison's fault, previous to that it was almost never a utility issue, I still don't believe it is a utility issue.NOPE. On the chance of a malfunction
I say. Shut all the fucking power off. And you all can deal with it.
I'm paying for it to be on and maintained, if it's not maintained and they turn it off because of that then compensate us
I agree with your premise, but 90 and 150 km/h are 54 and 90 MPH respectively. That's not much. Might be why the information was released in that format, probably not too many people can do the conversion in their head and think that's a lot of wind.
The cost of propane and the use of a generator should be compensated, for their fucked up system.
That right and that's why the pussies up top need to sing and tell all the ins companies looking for handouts to fuck off, that's why people had their policies canceled because of the hey let's blame Edison crap
I applaud your patience in dealing with this subject that seasonally blows into River Dave's Place out of the east ----I see that this is heading into bash the utility phase of the thread.
If anyone has questions send me a PM
When will edison send me my check for me having to supply my own electricity?I see that this is heading into bash the utility phase of the thread.

You buy a new truck, you bought a maintenance program with it and you make your payments on time and take your truck in every 5k miles, at 32k the engine seizes and come to fine out that when you were taking your truck in for oil changes they didn't do them. Would you be ok if they told you to bad you have to pay for a new engine?I applaud your patience in dealing with this subject that seasonally blows into River Dave's Place out of the east ----
Commonly referred to as The Wind of the 4Waters.
Don't kid yourself if you don't think that when you purchase a new vehicle the actuaries haven't calculated the odds and the expense of the company that's providing it, including any potential for warranty work.
You purchased a maintenance plan and you make your payments, you would expect the maintenance to be done since you make your payment.
It’s really no different than many threads.I see that this is heading into bash the utility phase of the thread.

Here are our 2 options for a power utility
They had their policies cancelled because the Insurance Commission refused to allow insurers to charge premiums that reflect risk. They were also prohibited from including reinsurance costs in the premiums. That's been standard in the insurance industry since Lloyd's of London was incorporated in the 1600s. Laying off risk through a secondary reinsurer is a principle of primary insurance that is critical for the ability of the insurer to remain solvent. That the Commission prevented it is reckless and stupid.
Leave them on, simple and I'm not assuming anything, some dumbass from Edison said at a press conference in 2018 after the woosley fire that they were behind in repairs and maintenance, on live TV
Edison constantly inspecting & maintaining power lines using choppers. Vin Scully son lost his life flying his chopper inspecting power lines.
I can't afford that, plus they are in the business of providing power, not me
I do have a nice sized solar system, Unfortunately, you can not be disconnected the grid.
It's the payment and expectation of maintenance that people don't understand, I appreciate you actually understanding what I've been trying to say for years.I believe you're right in regards to not just Edison, but public utilities in general not having kept up with the required maintenance. I've seen it on the Navy bases, College campuses, as well and I've worked on every one in San Diego County. But the "Fix When Broken" program was instituted back in the mid 90's is when I started noticing it.
So yes, I believe some of the failures that have contributed to wildfires, including the one in '07 that destroyed my house, was due to lack of maintenance.
That however and burying all the electrical utility lines are two entirely different subjects.
The power lines to my home are buried and have been since 1974, they've been upgrading and repairing this UG system the past two years, including upgrading the overhead lines and poles serving our area. We've had far more power outages and have had my generator running more frequently than any other time in the past 30 years we've lived here.
Take some time and study how power is distributed and some of the engineering challenges working with the higher voltages, it will be quite insightful.
Write a letter to SCE, because all the ranting on this board is not going to change one damned thing.
Good Luck with your quest.
PS: We sleep better with the power being shutoff around us during high winds, ours frequently is included in those.
70's 80's 90's were no different that today ( they probably caused MORE fires back then YOU really have no clue.) other that your homeowners ins covered it and Edison was not held labial, ( I explained all of this that fell on deaf ears in a previous post) the courts started making rulings against Edison and the landscape changed. Edison started getting sued Oh and your Fire ins still goes up along with your rates..
Thats too bad.
In the 70's I was too young but I remember in the 80's and 90's the news (back when they were reliable) updating the info and the majority were deemed arson.
What many public sector people fail to understand is that there is a point at which things become too expensive to justify....or be possible. While I don't have the answer as to how to make everything perfect and affordable, I do understand that compromises need to exist.
It really is and I hope that Edison can prove that their equipment had no failures, it should be fairly easy being the fire started under the tower. They did say it was off, if Edison is not at fault they need to stand their ground
I doubt that
Wikipedia does say that they are referred to as “devil winds”.I'm old
Edison had a fire start in Santiago Canyon two years ago from a CATV messenger cable that was loos and slapped into the 12kv lines and started a fire. Guess who was on the hook for that???????
The most trusted source of news and facts....
I remember himI'm old
And that's Bullshit
I'd take overhead lines every day,all power lines should be underground! Problem SOLVED!
Change my mind
So a week later. from this distance, you wouldn’t really know there was a fire.
Please explain that standard to the class.
New work from fires, or pre fire work?
