My guest today is Lawrence McQuillan. He is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Entrepreneurial Innovation at the Independent Institute. He received his PhD in economics, served as Chief Economist at the Illinois Policy Institute, and is also Director of Business and Economic Studies at the Pacific Research Institute. Today he discusses his perspective into California’s wildfire crisis. His extensive research into forest fires details why we are seeing an increase in wildfires and what precautions we can take to prevent them.
