Sacramento, October 15 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of California, Pacific Gas & Electric has issued power shutoffs for tens of thousands of homes across the Bay Area and Northern California, facing dry conditions and high winds that threaten to make the state’s worst fire season on record even worse.
This comes as new research shows that due to the climate crisis, California’s fire weather days will double in some parts of the state by the end of the century.
