Very compassionate of you Brian. As mentioned, the residents had nothing to do with the cause of the wildland fires and were receiving ‘services’ just like everyone else, yet they will suffer due to legal issues.
If you were true to your ideology, you would be pitching for forcing the electric monopoly to underground all of their services. Same school of thought as requiring them to have a specific amount of energy generated with green tech. Not economical, but politically favorable.
Does your ‘boonies’ statement hold up to the folks living on a ranch or in the middle of a farm growing the food you eat? No electric for them either?
