Tree-sitters protest PG&E power line plans in Nevada City

Graeme Pitts is in a tree. 

He doesn’t know how long he’ll stay there or how much it will help, but for him the decision was a no-brainer. 

“It was pretty easy for me to just be present to do what I can do. It’s an easy way for me to enjoy this tree while defending it,” Pitts said. 

He’s been following PG&E’s plans to cut more than 250 trees in Nevada City that could interfere with power lines, and on Tuesday Pitts was ready to put his body on the line.

      Better yet: call one of his Antifa buddies to light the fire.

      That's right. Cut it down while the tree sitter is in the tree. Betcha he wouldn't do THAT again!

    When the subcontractor (Asplund) comes through for PSE, I tell them to take this one to the stump. Nevermind that it rises 30-40 feet higher and could still come down on the lines. They are only allowed to cut back 10 feet from the lines. Job Security.

      Well since you're not the one that can sue them out of existence then they are probably not going to listen to you...They have specific rules they have to follow to cover their ass so they do no more than that...

    Cut it down. Let Mr. archaic and irrelevant spelling of his first name enjoy gravity in all its splendor.

    Bring your grandfather, who still has flashbacks to jap snipers in the trees, give him a gun and let him put that memory to rest.
