we should do with PG&E what we should have done with the banks in 2009...nationalize, fire the executives, protect the workers and communities that rely on them.https://twitter.com/rmbodenheimer/status/1188683219954061312 …

taxpayer vs investor liability is ofc something to think about. but that is not a sufficient argument against increased public accountability replacing investor interest, when it comes to making major changes to the grid. the invisible hand or whatevs has had its chance lol

public power advocates are well aware of the issue of regulatory capture (hell, my good friends have been dragged out of CPUC meetings by cops) but that we blame that solely on government and not the monopoly manipulating it is a uniquely American pathology

I think people don’t want to understand or see the real choices — either people should not live there or their rates are going to have to go up by like at least 5X or more to pay for adequate fire hardening measures.

I don't disagree! but relying on PG&E to figure this out instead of the state is too little too late. we'll be sitting here like ducks waiting for a dysfunctional investor-owned monopoly (or the mortgage market) to re-engineer the map of California society

Replying to @uhshanti @kimmaicutler
so i went to sleep right after kim-mai's post and shanti got most of what i wanted to say except for the fact that the 3 or 4 posts on either side of DR's are full of internal contradictions. if its worthless, why would someone take on the liability and necessary investment?

if investors see some opportunity, what's to keep them from going back to the same old tricks that resulted in regulatory capture. if we need to radically decentralize (we do) what's to keep the utility from working against that.
