Pacific Gas & Electric is responsible for over 100 deaths, tens of billions of dollars of damage, and tens of thousands of housing and other structures lost in Northern California. They're the public power monopoly. Today they turned off the power because winds were picking up.
No government official, not the governor, not the PUC, not anyone has held them accountable. Only the bankruptcy judge has stood up to their ways. I say they need to be broken up and we need to rethink the entire power grid.
Turning off the power like we're a Third World country is totally unacceptable.
