I’m here in Washington state and we are selling lots of hydro electricity to California. My rates already higher than they should be.

If PG&E has to pay a big fine likely my rates will go up even more.

We fine you for not shutting off the power and starting a fire. We fine you for trimming trees too close to power lines which can start on fire. And we fire you for shutting off the power to prevent fires in trees we fine you if cut. Just walk away and let the State of California go dark, permanently!

I have no sympathy whatever for PG&E. Its corrupt institutional culture is a threat to the health and safety of California’s people. Its shareholders should be zeroed out and its bondholders made the new shareholder, with the latter having the fate of the former to encourage them to TOTALLY replace PG&E’s institutional culture.
