Iiiiiiit’s happening! Let your district supervisor know you want a public utility in San Francisco! We can’t let another for-profit utility company raise our rates and put us in danger again. #powerforthepeoplehttps://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/PG-E-bankruptcy-leads-San-Francisco-to-reconsider-13536619.php …

Kim-Mai Cutler Retweeted J.D. Morris
From a regional or state perspective, SF leaving and forming its own utility is not a progressive outcome. It leaves the poorest Californians in the most vulnerable parts of the state to fend for themselves.https://twitter.com/thejdmorris/status/1085595511770378240?s=21 …
Kim-Mai Cutler added,
J.D. MorrisVerified account @thejdmorrisSan Francisco leaders are thinking about stepping up the city's role as a power provider in light of PG&E's bankruptcy plan. But@MichaelWWara asks: If SF exits the utility, what's the impact on those it leaves behind? https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/PG-E-bankruptcy-leads-San-Francisco-to-reconsider-13536619.php?utm_campaign=twitter-premium&utm_source=CMS%20Sharing%20Button&utm_medium=social … w/@DominicFracassa pic.twitter.com/xaH5iLnxEE2 replies 0 retweets 20 likes -

Why not a regional Nor Cal Public Power agency? It could be a merger of
@SMUDUpdates and@sfpuc, but a better model could be a state owned non-profit holding corporation for PG&E assets that could contract with local incumbents (SF, SMUD, Alameda, etc) & supply the rest of NorCal1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

Better, but still similar issues. Where are we leaving Butte, Mendocino, Sonoma, etc counties?

TIL, PG&E covers 70% of the state’s vegetated territory. Just a landmass with massively higher fire risk than the other utilities.

surely there's a more optimal situation than prop up a monopoly. what would you propose? a statewide public utility? (which would be awesome)

also worth noting that as long as there's a regional power monopoly they can continue to mess with local CCA programs like they are with CleanPowerSF.

All options on table. Just worry about the ramifications of breaking off the most valuable (though also decaying) part of the infrastructure from the rest of NorCal.

SF would have had an MUD decades ago if PG&E hadn't consistently worked to kill it. It's past time. The state should form an agency to cover the rural areas

Sure if the state mandates that the MUD cross subsidize rural electrification.
