Too long and too expensing: PG&E’s plan to bury power lines and prevent wildfires faces opposition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:34 GMT

By ADAM BEAM | Associated PressVACAVILLE — Pacific Gas & Electric — one of the nation’s largest utilities whose equipment has sparked some of California’s deadliest wildfires — wants to bury power lines in some of its most at-risk areas to prevent destructive blazes like the 2018 Paradise fire that killed 85 people.But state regulators are balking at the utility’s plan because it would take too long and cost $5.9 billion. The company’s customers — who already have some of the highest rates in the country — would have to pay for it.Regulators want PG&E to put a protective cover over many of its overhead power lines instead of burying them. The cover approach is cheaper, but riskier. PG&E says burying a power line reduces the chance it will start a wildfire by 99% because it can’t be blown down by wind storms. The protective cover, which would better insulate the power line should it fall to the ground, would reduce that chance by 62%.“We’re not going to live with 35% risk...

Stock market today: Tech pulls Wall Street lower on fears about the downside of a too-strong economy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:34 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is slipping Tuesday following the latest signal the U.S. economy may still be too strong for the Federal Reserve’s liking.The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 64 points, or 0.2%, as of 9:40 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.1% lower.Financial markets have been shaky in recent weeks due to worries about war in the Middle East and its potential impact on oil prices. But those worries have receded a bit to put the focus back on what usually drives the stock market’s long-term movements: where interest rates and corporate profits are heading.A report Tuesday morning raised worries that the Federal Reserve may feel pressure to keep interest rates high. Such a move could help bring down inflation, but it would also knock down prices for stocks and other investments at the same time.The report showed that shoppers spent more at U.S. retailers last month than economists expected. While that’s a...

For Virginia’s Youngkin, potential presidential run would face logistical hurdles, voter skepticism

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:34 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Glenn Youngkin was waving off talk about running for the White House back in 2021, before he’d even made it to the Virginia governor’s mansion.Brad Hobbs, a childhood friend, told The Associated Press at the time that his ultimate goal was to see the Harvard-educated Republican businessman run for president. Hobbs said he brought it up nonstop, even in front of others, which irked Youngkin.“He doesn’t commit to that. He looks at me like, ‘Stop saying it; I don’t want to hear that,’” Hobbs said.Conjecture that Youngkin, who is set to host a major donor retreat Tuesday and Wednesday, might make a late entry into the 2024 presidential race has only grown since his victory nearly two years ago. It could further escalate after next month’s high-stakes legislative elections, where he’s aiming for a GOP sweep. At least some of the recent talk is coming from Republican donors still casting about for yet another alternative to former President Donald Trump.But the 56-yea...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Two soccer officials involved in Luis Diaz’s wrongly disallowed goal for Liverpool against Tottenham last month will return to Premier League duty this weekend.Video Assistant Referee Darren England and his assistant, Dan Cook, have been recalled for the first time since their error in Tottenham’s 2-1 victory.England will be the fourth official for Brentford’s game against Burnley on Saturday and Cook is an assistant for Sheffield United’s match against Manchester United on the same day.Their failure to award what would have been an opening goal for Diaz prompted Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to call on the Premier League to have the game replayed. It also led to the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, which is the governing body of referees in England, to announce changes to video review protocols.The body admitted the mistake after VAR failed to award Diaz’s goal, despite replays clearly showing the forward was onside when he sc...
