    That is what they are looking into....but the clean air tree huggers in this state have their hackles up stiff and their need to move everything to electric power.....(how do you achieve all that juice?)....yet they have discovered that solar doesn't generate during the dark hours and the wind turbines don't rotate without......you guessed it.....WIND!

    WHO'D OF THOUGHT?

    This is why god and mother nature are working together to burn that place to the ground, but unfortunatly they still understand how to use water...

    Interesting how all the really big fires are close to the tree hugger locations!

    Couple years back, the folks up in Tahoe learned the hard way.....you have to get those discharged pine needles (duff) cleaned up.....they burn hot and it doesn't take much to get them started.

    And also how those fires tend to jump and engulf "grow operations".......

    Noticed that happens a bunch when there are multiple lightning strike fires.

    California also realized that there was a arsonist that was setting fires using a book of matches with a cigarette. So now cigarrettes in California will only burn for about 5 mins (presuming no one takes a drag) before they self extinguish.

    I smoke American Spirit and those will burn out quick if you don’t keep hitting it.

    I’d rather smell the diesel fumes.

    At least that way you’re aware of its presence.
