Morning coverage with Fox News live.

James Woods (who has likely lost his home) salutes the LA Fire Chief’s priorities.


Kenji – “that is a truly shocking, frightening, and depressing aerial photo of the fire. Truly shocking … because I know what’s been burned … what a shameful State we’ve become.”

Like many, I’ve been following the reports of the Pacific Palisades fires all evening. With the full force of 80mph winds and aircraft grounded, it’s going to be a long night.

What a complete moron:

If you were ever looking for a sign of why not to always trust “scientists”, this is your sign.

An intrepid reporter should ask Gretchen Newsom and Caryl Hart if they hate all African-Americans or reserve such venomous antipathy for just Musk.

As many SDA readers have wondered in the past, when is this place finally going to slide into the ocean?

As most of us are well aware, a lot of plastic waste gets refined back into useable petrochemicals. But that, apparently, is actually a bad thing.

California’s attorney general is suing ExxonMobil, alleging the oil giant engaged in a “decades-long campaign of deception” about the effectiveness of plastics recycling.

The 147-page suit alleges that nearly all of plastic waste processed by the company has been turned into fuel instead of recycled plastic.

Hear my prayer.

San Francisco’s glitzy hotels have been plunged into massive debt following a dramatic drop off in tourism to the Golden Gate City.

The Californian city’s two biggest hotels, the Hilton Parc 55 and Hilton San Francisco Union Square, have lost a combined $1billion in value, according to the Kroll Bond Rating Agency.

Their worth is now $553.8 million.

Meanwhile, the delinquency rate among commercial mortgage-backed security loans for the sector jumped to 41.6 percent in June from 5.7 percent the same time last year, according to data from real estate analytics firm Trepp.

It comes as San Francisco’s tourism industry struggles to recover to its pre-pandemic levels, while other parts of the country bounce back.

Oilprice;

California is looking to rapidly shift away from fossil fuels and make its grid more resilient, but these efforts show the other side of the greening of the grid—power generation costs may be plunging, but transmission and distribution costs are rising, leading to higher spending from utilities.

These increased expenditures are passed on to consumers by the investor-owned utilities Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric. As a result, electricity bills in California have risen so much in recent years that in some places, the power bill exceeds the cost of rent, The Wall Street Journal reports in a featured article.

The surge in bills has been “untenable,” according to the consumer advocate’s office at California’s utilities regulator.

In its latest 2024 Q2 Electric Rates Report last month, the Public Advocates Office tracked residential electric rate changes across Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison (SCE) service territories through July 1, 2024.

The report found that over the last few years, California’s electric bills are generally rising due to higher electricity use from things such as air conditioning, and higher overall electricity prices.

Since January 2014, residential average rates for the PG&E service area have jumped by 110%, those of SCE have surged by 90%, and SDG&E rates have soared by 82%.
