This is coming from a state has been shutting off electricity to thousands of customers for months...
This. Our legislators have a hidden agenda.
What could that possibly be?
What would shutting the power off gain them?
They have talked about taking over control of the power company, for example. Seems highly socialistic.
Some of the talk is for turning PG&E into a consumer owned utility..............hopefully like our Co-op.
State owned, probably better than the way PG&E is run now............................but not by much.

"Consumer-owned utility" unfortunately would mean that the same liberal dunces controlling California's politics would be making the decisions for us.
Not if they turned it into an entity like our Co-op. Ours runs great, cheapest rates in the State (as they're not in it to maximize profit), and they actually spend money on repairing infrastructure, like the multitude of poles they replaced this summer. Before they fell and caused problems.
When the utility is owned by investors expecting a certain level of return every quarter, you can dang sure figure that repairs and maintenance fall down the list below shutting off power to the customers. When the customers are the owners, things work differently.
