Silicon valley is well known for innovation and the technical prowess we have here is hard to find anywhere else in the world. What can we do to stop the destruction due to wildfires?
You sound like a Smokey the Bear PSA: remember, only *you* can prevent forest fires
Why can't our forests have fire stopping zones (think a wide clear patch) every so often to limit the spread.
Well, thats a start. I was thinking more on the lines of drone surveillance or IOT sensors on trees that detect the fire. I think tech really has to step up the game here.
Clearing the forest trees is a huge myth. Old trees don't burn so quickly. Bushes and young trees do . So clearing means fire will spread faster. Please get the facts right before you cause more damage. Power lines + humans are usually in the mix . But the environmental conditions have to be apt for fire to spread ( low humidity , wind speed , no rain/ drought )
Oh, I’m doing my fair share. I drive a Tesla, have solar roof panels that make me a net energy producer and I shit on Trump and anyone who is not part of the costal elite. /s
Thanks! But don't you think it's time to have a collective effort on stopping the wildfires? Here's a thought: why not go to work tmrw and start an initiative in Microsoft to do something on this?
You sir are more polluting than a gas car. Until your energy comes from renewable and not coal, electric cars are doing more harm than good
How about we pressure PG&E to improve their infrastructure? Maybe bury the lines instead of pocketing the profits?
The market is regulated. Their profit isn't that much. The state has to pitch in. But Jerry Brown vetoed such bill.
Fires can start for many reasons, the problem is global warming/ climate change, not power utilities
Making spreadsheets better
Legend has it that the wildfires will stop once a 5'6"Indian gets laid. Come on guys n gals, only YOU can prevent wildfires
Swinging many ways does increase your chances. But by how much? dx -> 0.
That’s where you’re wrong, we don’t solve actual problems in the valley.
Yeah, that was my first thought.
