California's Literally Burning Again | My Governor Thoughts.

well holy smokes california is on fire

again the pacific

palisades are on fire the blaze in the

pacific palisades right now has already

charred more than 1 300

acres fueled by guess what drought

parched trees and brush that have not

burned in about 75

years why because california's existing

government realizes

that we need to burn about one to two

million acres

of brush in controlled fires to actually

prevent

these out of control fires that

california spends

billions of dollars of fighting but they

don't do it

why because california politicians and

leaders like gavin newsom

look at their math sheets and they go

hmm it costs 800

an acre to battle a fire and potentially

as little as

32 per acre to actually prevent

a fire let's just spend billions of

dollars

when there's actually a fire it makes

literally no

sense right now we can handle controlled

burns or conduct controlled burns

of only about 13 000 acres a year in

california

if we spent 32 million dollars a year

we could burn in a controlled way

that one million acres that we need to

burn to actually keep california safe

from these brush fires but instead what

are we getting

a bunch of politics and we'd rather be

spending over 1.3 billion dollars a year

fighting fires rather than spending 32

maybe even call it 100 or 200 million

dollars

on controlled burns to prevent these

from happening annually

that makes no sense seems like it would

be a wonderful return on our investment

to conduct more controlled burns

but california politics generally

doesn't make sense not exactly sure

where the money is going that they're

spending

but the research is clear if we spend

money on controlled burns

what happens yes we temporarily put a

little bit more carbon emissions

into the air but those get retracted

once we get

new growth not a bunch of dead growth

and we end up

net negative with our carbon emissions

now some like to say well hold on

controlled burns could endanger species

that are

potentially at risk of going extinct but

the truth is

if we conduct controlled burns we

actually

reduce the chances of out-of-controlled

wildfires

that could put more of these species at

real risk

rather than controlled environment risks

which we can do

if we actually put effort and political

will

into making sure we minimize the insane

fire seasons

that we have in california you need new

ideas in california politics

you can't have somebody running the

state in a leadership role for 17 years

and expect

new ideas california wildfires have only

gotten worse under the leadership of

gavin dusum

and if you think anything's going to

change i hate to say you're mistaken

the state of california the entire plan
