Can we just start with the point, and this can't be emphasized enough, that PG&E are a bunch of assholes? This is a company that is willing to lie to voters repeatedly. This is a company that has gone into bankruptcy before rather than pay out over its shoddy maintenance. This is a company that routinely falsified maintenance reports.
In university, we were served by PG&E up in Davis. Down here in SoCal, it's Southern California Edison. Edison is fine -- I don't love 'em, but I don't hate 'em. As the north wind event up north shifts towards Santa Anas down here, they're going to consider a few regional power outages. PG&E is a shit company that thinks they are entitled to a monopoly with no regulation and no lawsuit payouts. They're doing a large-scale outage just to get back at the state for not shielding them from the victims of Paradise.
Seriously, fuck those guys.
