<p>Last year, California announced that new homes in the state are required to install a solar panel on the rooftops. However, it seems like the mandate was not a mandate per se. According to the California Energy Commission, they also gave the residents an option to get solar power supply from an off-site location. The reason department is conveying that the critics are suggesting the cost of housing will increase because of rooftop solar panels. </p><p>The first off-site solar program is all set to get the approval from the commission for the new housing. Rooftop solar installers are, however, not happy with the new proposal. They are suggesting that this is going to be a bad deal for many costumers. According to the reports, the rooftop solar panels would have saved $35 every month for a single-family home, which will be reduced to a mere $5 per kilowatt per year.</p><p><br></p>

The residents are also afraid of the monstrous winds that tormented them and stoked the wildfire. The winds and fire combined to destroy her neighborhood in Northern California. </p><p>The winds keep on threatening the residents. The wildfire two years ago gave them just a few minutes to escape from their homes. Their longtime family home was burned down due to the fire. They build a new home and again were threatened by the wildfire. </p><p>California, which was seen as a golden land of opportunity, is witnessing its new normal. The new normal is massive wildfires, and some of the residents are fleeing. The ones who remain are living a life interrupted by electrical outages and constant risks of fires.</p><p><br></p>

<p>Xavier Becerra, who is the attorney general of California, has disclosed some of the details of the probe in which Facebook was asked to provide documents related to Cambridge Analytica. Becerra said that it had been a year since the examination is going on. The office is disclosing the details as Facebook is getting sued for failing to comply with the orders. He said in his statement that Facebook is not replying correctly to the AG office, and the company has been unable to abide by the rules to provide the documents. Thus a lawsuit will be filed in the state Superior Court in San Francisco. The state is looking into many legal and regulatory inquiries into Facebook. The country has found that Facebook has misrepresented privacy practices and broke the state’s law.</p><p><br></p><p>  </p><p><br></p>

<p>A week ago, California witnessed several wildfires that forced evacuation in many areas. These fires also caused massive blackouts at both ends of the state. Now, when California is enjoying the blue sky once again, the dangers of wildfire are still on a larger scale. </p><p>The forecasters say that this might only be a short relief as more potentially deadly fires may occur in the southern half of the state. According to the reports, there is a lack of rain in the area, which is causing the air to dry out. The wilderness is under threat, and even a small spark can spread the fire in all directions. The fire department will stay on high alert until the warnings for wildfire are up.</p><p> </p><p><br></p><p>  </p><p><br></p>

<p>The aerial view of the state’s both ends has shown how widespread the recent fires were. It has been over a year since the Campfire brought down the town of Paradise and charred over 150,000 acres of land. Over 85 people were killed, and it destroyed over 18000 homes and businesses. However, the officials didn’t learn much from the last year’s fire, and the same is happening all over again. There are investments in housing, transit, health, water, electricity, and more, but the concentration should also be on controlling the fire accidents. The people who were displaced last year are still struggling, and even this year, a disaster of the same size may happen at any time. It is high time the authorities come with a new plan to counter fire incidents as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p><br></p><p>  </p><p><br></p>

<p>California’s fire season is increasing its pace when it should slow down for the third season in a row. The wind storms and several fires made the state very dry and vulnerable to fire till the winter showers reduce the dryness of the country. </p><p>A season ago, various forecasters expected that California might not see a fire season this year as there were showers in the northern part of the state, and snowfall was witnessed on the slopes of Lassen National Park. Most of the state enjoyed cold winterish weather. However, soon, the pleasant weather passed, and October dry windstorms replaced the weather. It resulted in severe fire, and this fire season could last till November or even December if the winter showers don’t start soon to shift the dry winds. </p><p> </p>
