Abby and Robbie Martin discuss the ongoing saga of California private power company PG&E and how they held two million California customers hostage by deliberately turning off their power to avoid liability costs for potential wild fires during high wind events. Robbie personally had his power shut off for 48 hours at a time by PG&E in October and November, and talks about his own experience and realizations. PG&E's long history of criminal acts and being responsible for massive death and injuries is discussed as well as the exacerbating effect climate change is having on the up-tick in wild fires.
