      Often when people think their governing institutions are incompetent (or in this case a quasi-public/private utility), it’s bc the people themselves haven’t given a clear mandate (& necessary resources/$ for that mandate). Not excusing PG&E, just a dynamic I often notice.https://twitter.com/RobertGammon/status/1063975397992198144 …

      PG&R is already getting a lot of criticism for not turning off the power before the horrific Camp fire. But folks should remember the reaction just a couple weeks ago when the utility did turn off power -- and no fire occurred. https://www.mtdemocrat.com/news/placerville-city-council-damns-pge-for-power-shutdown/ …

      The options are expensive. Powerline undergrounding is $4-5M per mile in the Bay Area. Tree removal is $2-3K per stump.

      I’d be curious to know if San Diegans are happier w San Diego Power and Electric than PG&E wrt wildfires and if so, why? @ryrivard @dillonliam

          I think the San Bruno pipeline explosion also severely damaged PG&E's reputation.

          The thing is, there is no plan, no infrastructure that is 100% safe and it's hard to know where to draw the line. It's impossible to know for sure, but I doubt that this would have been less likely to happen if PG&E was a public utility instead.

          IDK how customers feel about SDG&E but they did massive safety upgrades after a big fire in 2007 and were held up as the safety model in legislative hearings this summer on wildfire prevention

          There isn’t any public polling on this, so hard to know definitively. As others mentioned, SDG@E did major work following 2007 fires — fire hardening infrastructure, better forecasting, shutting down lines when conditions look bad, which they did last week.

          But for years, until CPUC told them no, they wanted to charge ratepayers for that damage, which left a bad taste for a lot of people who lost something (or someone) in fire: to be forced to pay for the damage caused to them. Here’s update on that case: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/energy-green/sd-fi-sdge-wildfire-appeal-denied-20181114-story.html …

          There’s also some skepticism about SDG&E’s fire hardening work. I’ve written about how their wood to steel pole conversion has skepticshttps://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/science-environment/sdge-environmentalists-are-at-opposite-poles-on-one-fire-prevention-method/ …

          A predecessor also wrote about the what-ifs of shutting off power: What if the company shuts off power, someone turns on a gas generator (to power, say, an oxygen tank) and then that starts the fire. Not directly SDG@E’s liability but no less fire https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/public-safety/despite-ruling-sdge-shut-offs-could-still-happen/ …

          I’d say it’s too soon to tell. Reminds me a bit of an intelligence agency: You only know when they screw up, not when they succeed.

          And I’d add, even apart from wildfires, utilities just generally are not very popular. Who loves paying for cell phone, trash, their water, or the cable company? PG&E is just especially hated at this point. The grief writes itself: “Another bankruptcy? Another fire? C’mon.”

          Nobody loves paying bills but to be fair most of us think we're getting a fair deal in exchange when it comes to trash, water, & sometimes even cell service. When was the last time negligence by a cable company killed scores of people?
