More than 2,400 PG&E customers are without power on Saturday morning because of six outages in San Luis Obispo County. Three of the outages are unplanned and three are planned public safety power shutoffs.

On Thursday, because of high winds and dry conditions, PG&E turned the power off for 557 customers in the San Miguel area to help prevent a wildfire through Saturday. There are plans to increase the number of planned shutoffs to last through Sunday.

Shortly after 8 a.m. on Saturday, 379 customers from San Luis Obispo to Los Osos lost power. PG&E estimates the power will be restored by 1:30 p.m.

At 8:44 a.m., 344 customers lost power in rural Arroyo Grande. A minute later, another 1,161 PG&E customers lost power in rural Arroyo Grande. PG&E estimates both outages will be over by 2 p.m.

Yet most of the readers on here would probably vote to make PGE our soul source of power. Relying on fossil fuels is beyond stupid and signing up for more of this.


Whether to generate electricity using fossil fuels or something else has nothing to do with PSPS, the shutoffs are for safety reasons, not related to how the electricty was generated.


Surely, you dont believe that…?
