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.

...or not. Let the state take that on through a crazy funding method that will no doubt blow your mind: progressive taxation

Climate change is a game that’s a different level. There are 125,000 miles of power lines in the PG&E system. It is $3M a mile to underground lines, $4-5M in urban areas. It is $5-6K per tree to take out a mature tree in an urban area, more in a rural area bc of access.
