A sign calling for PG&E to turn the power back on is seen on the side of the road during a statewide blackout in Calistoga, California, on October, 10, 2019 – Rolling blackouts set to affect millions of Californians began October 9, as Pacific Gas & Electric started switching off power to an unprecedented number of households in the face of hot, windy weather that raises the risk of wildfires. PG & E, which announced the deliberate outage, is working to prevent a repeat of a catastrophe last November in which faulty power lines it owned were determined to have sparked California’s deadliest wildfire in modern history.
