Paywall, so didn't read the article. 
  
 What I was able to see was that an Alder tree snapped and took out a power line. 
  
 Knowing what I know about California, the utility probably wanted to trim that tree, but the tree huggers said no. 
  
 So, is it the utility's fault?  I think not.

Holy shit. What do you do for a living? You sound like a detective, only really fucking retarded.
