What could have prevented the near-100 deaths, the loss of thousands of homes and the billions of dollars of property damage from the Maui wildfire was better planning for just this kind of event.
This was precisely the same thing that turned California into a tinder box and charred more than 5 million acres of land.
But the climate-change activists played a role here too, by persuading the politicians that the state and the utility must spent tens of millions trying to meet a foolhardy 2015 mandate requiring 100% of the utility’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2045. It wasn’t our fossil-fuel use that caused the fires. It was climate-change alarmists who demanded all the money go to green energy rather than saving at-risk homes and lives.An entire neighborhood in Lahaina destroyed by the wildfire.
