Well stay on that, of course. The economic toll of our states wildfires is still being calculate. Its staggering. Early estimates put it at 10 billion so far.

David louie spoke with Climate Change experts at stanford. Reporter the question becomes how much will it cost to create policies and prevention programs to manage the growing devastation caused by wildfires.

If we spent about that much money, we could do a lot to make this problem much less of a kind of front line crisis in the state of california. Reporter he and other fel w fellows for Economic Policy research see fuel management as the critical step. Years of ground vegetation accumulated over time much the way weeds take over yards. We know a warming climate dries out fuels and makes the fires much more likely. Without federal leadership, over the long run this problem is likely to only get worse. Reporter 10 to 20 million acres need to be cleared at a possible cost of up to 1,000 per acre. Who will pay is one hurdle. Another is whether logging will help generate funds. Governor newsom signed an executive order to preserve 30 of state lands but that plan is expected to take the state two years to develop policies. Prescribe burns to clear brush also pose a challenge because of smoke that created Health Hazards as it spread and stayed over wide areas but native tribes that use fire to control wildfires demonstrated its effectiveness at the creek pyre.
