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)

This seems like a reasonable way to deal with the unequal fire risk - the same way we send water from the north to the population centers in the south.

Also, fire damage attributable to wildfires is over $30 billion in the last 2 years which would seem to make a 30-year bond issue to underground power lines just plain good sense.

my guess on what would happen if CA got public control over utilities, is that the legislature would write the state govt out of wildfire liabilities on equipment failures.

our legislature couldn’t pass a just-cause eviction ordinance because the CAA told them it would freeze housing construction. they’re quite capitalist

this is a different dynamic. CA state leg can't pass stronger tenant protections bc it's too captured by certain parts of the real estate industry. But if CA govt taxpayers were on the hook for wildfire liability, they would probably just change the rules to prevent crowd out

I think that’s where some decentralization of infrastructure would make sense. I still support SF buying its CleanPowerSF infrastructure considering what a bully PG&E has been

the commission I’m an alternate on will be discussing this on Friday. New York’s hottest club is SFGovTV2 because we couldn’t get on SFGovTV
