Is it ACCURATE to Blame Recent Wildfire Deaths on "The Jews" ?

I was reading about the fires in Halaina, which are on their way to being at the top of a list you don't want to be on, the "most fatalities from a wildfire" list.

It turns out that downed power lines were reported by Hawaii folks.  From Hurricane Dora to the South, and 80 mile per hour winds.

Also the fire was extremely fast moving.  Faster than the Oakland Hills fire (1991), which I personally witnessed.

The Oakland Hills fire was started by an escaped pile of burning leaves.

In 2017, the wildfire that hit Sonoma County and killed 44, WERE mostly started by downed power lines.

Of course, that is a summary.

"In January 2019 CalFire determined the Tubbs Fire was caused by incorrectly maintained electrical equipment owned by a private landowner"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2017_Northern_California_wildfires

The Tubbs fire caused 22 deaths, and its cause was not downed powerlines.

BUT as of November 2017, it was very obvious that Downed Power Lines & High Winds are KILLERS in wildfire country.

Hawaii could have "Gotten a Clue" then ... but they didn't.


The next question, "how much does it cost to bury all the power lines in the US"

"The average cost to run power underground is $10 to $25 per foot, or $5,000 to $12,500 for 500' of new electrical lines. Overhead power line installation costs $5 to $15 per foot, or $4,000 to $7,500 for 500'. The cost to bury existing power lines is $2,000 to $6,000." (per 500 feet )"

Call it $5000 for 500 feet, $10 a foot.  (which I think needs to be revised, I don't think it's that cheap.  I think it's now more like $100 a foot.)

So starting in November 2017, it was becoming obvious to urban planners in all states that had forests, grasslands, and scrub that could burn, that it was wise to bury power lines.

So then the question is - how much would that cost ?

"The U.S. electrical grid is the largest interconnected machine on Earth: 200,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and 5.5 million miles of local distribution lines, linking thousands of generating plants to factories, homes and businesses."
Side-stepping the burying of high voltage lines, 5.5 Million x $100 = $550 Million.

Yes, for the cost of 1 week of US military support for Ukraine, the US could bury all its power lines.

Even if it's $1000 a foot, that would be only $5.5 Billion.

I've heard people say, "we can't afford to do that".

I think the obvious answer is, you can't afford NOT to do it.

Maybe if more Jews died in the wildfires, they'd be more motivated ?


Then the question is, where is the money going to come from ?

The US budget deficit in 2001 was $6 Trillion.  In 2023, it is $32 Trillion.

So the deficit has increased $26 Trillion since 9-11.

I estimate that at least 1/2 of that was spent on killing Israel's enemies, and engaging in the related land-clearing operations, a War of Terror which the US called the "War on Terror".

Obviously, that Terror War money would go a long way to fixing ALL US infrastructure situations - roads, bridges, and buried power lines.

So in summary before I go read the rest of the news, "Is it ACCURATE to Blame Recent Wildfire Deaths on "The Jews" ?

MAYBE.

Hope you're not suggesting that the countless billions spent in the past few decades to go around the world destroying other people's infrastructure* for the benefit of the jews in Israhell would have been better spent burying power lines in the United States, so there are no wildfires and power outages.

The jew who owns Home Depot must make an absolute fortune, just from people rebuilding, buying generators to deal with power outages, etc. 

*  The Iraq War destroyed Iraq's power grid, and there were regular stories about the Iraqis only having a few hours of electricity per day, and I was living in an area with frequent power outages - trees and limbs falling on power lines - and I had a neighbor who was pro-George W. Bush, and, when the power went out, I would say, "Well, that George Bush delivering democracy."  He didn't like it too much.

"How much would it cost to bury power lines in California?
Joseph Mitchell, a consultant and utility expert in the San Diego area, estimates burying powerlines costs between $3 million and $5 million per mile – and California utility PG&E has a plan to bury 10,000 miles of its lines in fire-prone areas."

from Wildfire Today.

So it sounds like, in California, it costs about $800 per linear foot.

Only $4.4 Billion for the ENTIRE NATION.  And they still don't do it.

While the costs of many of the larger fires is quoted as $10 to $100 Billion.

Hard to believe, but at least I got a quote for burying power lines.

In the STRANGE place that is America, that $4.4 Billion is too much for the power companies to absorb.  Why don't the wealthy states finance it in their own perimeter ?

California has enough surplus to bury the entire nation's power lines 10 times over - but it still doesn't happen in California.
