Aside from this, it could be a trial run/experiment to see how the population deals with the grid being down. For future malfeasance.....
Sounds plausible.
Plus,Newsome’s been floating the idea of the state seizing control of PG&E.
What better way of ginning up public support for socialist control of the grid —than by refusing to cut the deadwood, leading to wildfires, which forces PG&E to cut off power to protect homes & limit PG&E shareholders’ liability.
Then Newsom feigns outrage & zooms in to save the day.
After all, those eeevil stockholders are eeevil capitalists. Biggov’s control would be SO much better.
Look for similar outages/ interruptions under various pretexts WRT cell/ internet services and water delivery.
Time for serious prepping, folks. SHTF may be closer than we think.
