... and was, as far as I can tell, shut off completely unnecessarily.
Forecasted and actual winds during this entire period, in Marin, did not exceed normal, seasonal winds and I don't believe the populated areas of Marin (San Rafael, Mill Valley, Ross Valley, etc.) get their transmission through the wildland.
I will be interested to learn the rationale for the Marin shutoff when I call my county supervisor and state reps, etc., next week.
While I don't support the outage or PG&E's analysis, their argument is likely that they had to shut down a few key sites in Central / Eastern CA, and thus they couldn't figure out how to power the Bay Area. "Stupid isn't illegal."
Props to contacting the State. This situation won't get any better if there's no pressure on them. Marin has independence with respect to water, perhaps they'll get power, too, somehow.
