California governor says broad power shutdown to prevent fires ‘unacceptable’


(Worthy News) – California Governor Gavin Newsom called a widespread electricity shutdown triggered by a power company to prevent wildfires “unacceptable”, as gale-force winds and dry weather posed a critical fire threat to the north of the state.
