FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2015 file photo chairs on a ski lift overlooking Donner Lake, sit idle at Donner Ski Ranch in Norden, Calif. California’s top energy official realized it flying over the normally pristine, snow-cloaked Sierra Nevada at Christmas and seeing stark bare granite cloaked in dirty brown haze. The state’s fire chief realized it when crews were fighting a raging wildfire consuming houses and tinder-dry forests at 7,000 feet in February. California, with snowpack at a record low this winter, and much of the West are becoming dirtier, more perilous places, with billions of dollars less hydroelectricity from runoff, greenhouse-gas emitting fossil fuels filling the gap and no melting spring snow to temper fire dangers.
