Interesting hypothesisLA used to be a rainforest before it was developed.
Um when? Like a million years ago?LA used to be a rainforest before it was developed. If you wanna destroy public property like damns and grids do it the legal way, don't destroy the community because you disagree with it.
The only reason that more people didn't die during the polar vortex event in 2019 is that gas, coal, and nuclear power did the heavy lifting. Once more coal plants shut and there is another polar vortex a lot more people may die.

They should name a street after him. Oh, wait...Mulholland was a god (little g) to LA in the early 1900's.
We had two power outages in Dallas, OR last week. Both blamed on wild animals. The longest outage was blamed on a "bird."
So much for redundancy in the power grid.
You know you are in trouble when Warren Buffet buys your "regulated public utility."
Not hard to believe. A bird is somewhat unlikely but a squirrel absolutely. Seen it many times. Seen lots of dead birds and squirrels on the ground dead next to poles. Squirrels chew on stuff and can do a lot of damage as long as the dont touch ground/pole.
As for redundancy its almost impossible to have in a city on distribution. Your outage probably didn't last more then an hour or two.
