I hate corps too but what indication is there that a nationalized power company would've been more proactive about its infrastructure?

Probably the fact that they are literally everywhere else it's run as a crown corp.

It doesn't matter if the government controls PG&E. Dead trees still need to be clear out. The CA government should do a better job at policy aimed to prevent wildfires. The politicians are probably loving that fact that only PG&E get blamed, but those asswipes are the ones who let PG&E get away with shit for years.

And no amount of government control of PG&E will stop falling dead trees from snapping power lines. This problem need to be attacked from all fronts.

You want the GOVERNMENT to control the electrical grid? The same government with a trillion dollars in unfunded pension debt, the same government that refuses to remove illegal aliens, the same government that encourages people shooting heroin and defecating in the street?

You want THAT government to control the electrical grid? *deep breath* LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

This is Third World grade corruption and negligence. It's clear PG&E doesn't give a damn.

Edit: LOL they've basically done 1/3 of the tree-trimming they were supposed to do. Oh, and 2018's deadliest wildfire was caused by a transmission tower that was so poorly maintained it was broken by wind.

Just remember who vetoed the fire prevention bill in 2016... Jerry Brown.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/Failure-to-adequately-regulate-utilities-helped-12292511.php

The bill would have made forced PG&E to maintain their towers and clear out dead trees. Brown was in bed with PG&E and he shut down the bill. And this fucker has the audacity to blame global warming when most of the fires were started by fallen PG&E power lines.

This. Don't let the politicians get off scot free on this. PG&E is a public utility so it's heavily influenced by government control

I seem to remember a topic last year stating the difference between Third World Countries and the US is that if anything big like this happened in the US the people would revolt and they'd be massive protests etc to stop the corruption.

Yeah... how's that working out lol...

that's something we can all agree on (at least trim/remove the damn tree's away from the lines) could easily plant one somewhere else to make up for it.

I am working with PG&E on something, and one of the guys is an insane douche.

Of course I'm not going to shit on him, but like don't make your company look worse than it already does.
