Oh and they started another fire

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-10-25/as-kincade-fire-rages-northern-california-prepares-for-biggest-blackouts-ever-this-weekend

Pacific Gas & Electric said Friday that it would probably begin cutting off power to 850,000 Northern California customers more than 2 million people on Saturday night as historic winds returned to the region.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation, but some suspicion was already turning to transmission lines owned by embattled Pacific Gas & Electric.
PG&E said Thursday that one of its transmission lines experienced problems Wednesday night around the area where the fire broke out.

He's talking about wireless transmission.

That downed power line is an example of why they need to be shutting off the power & need to be quicker about it,

And obviously they need to be held accountable & make improvements to their infrastructure so that shut offs will no longer be necessary.

Extreme short-sightedness by the government at the time when they did it.

It is universally a fucking awful idea.

ideally it is. you would THINK a for profit business would want to keep its infrastructure to keep customers happy but all they care about is cutting costs.

i think more than just capitalism its corporatism thats the problem.

The problem is that the government controls who and what and when more power companies can enter the market and compete.

These situations where government limits the market and creates situations where one or two companies have all the power need to stop.

I swear, is there anything government doesn't ruin?

You are right but also wrong.

There should be a single company providing power in California, and it 100% should be owned and operated by the State as a Crown Corporation.
