Hundreds of thousands of families in California are being affected by wildfires in the state, and as many as 1.5 million people may lose electrical power. The company Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) called for another blackout early Tuesday in 29 northern California counties. An earlier power outage that started Saturday affected 2.5 million people, the Associated Press reported. PG & E is the nation’s biggest utility company. But it has been severely criticized for the last two years over the part it has played in fires in the state and how it has provided electricity during those times. Some Californians are unhappy with the company’s decision to cut electricity.
