9. One way or another, retrofitting state for current climate and fire reality won't be cheap or easy. The usual lazy, convenient, and reductive finger pointing won't change that. FIN — Ted Nordhaus (@TedNordhaus) October 28, 2019

See earlier post, Does it make sense to see the California blackouts as an effect of inequality, as a tax the 1% is imposing on the 99%?.
