...Pacific Gas and Electric Company has finally revealed the staggering price tag for dismantling the century-old hydroelectric facility: $532 million. That’s the estimated cost PG&E submitted to state regulators on May 15, a half-billion-dollar teardown that will be funded by PG&E customers, many of whom also risk losing the year-round water supply the system delivers to 600,000 people across Northern California.
...Tony Gigliotti, PG&E’s senior licensing project manager, told SFGATE the half-billion-dollar figure is still a “very high-level estimate,” but it’s meant to reflect the full scope of the task ahead. “We did the best we could with the information we have today,” he said. “We don’t have engineering completed at this point, but that estimate is meant to be all-inclusive.”
“It includes the cost of engineering, permitting, the physical construction — or deconstruction — and then also the restoration and environmental measures that we’ll have to put in place,” Gigliotti explained. “We’ll continue to refine it as we move along in the process..

Pay more ... for less reliable power.
Sheeeeeyit. [redacted] Newsom’s high speed rail will cost less than this dam removal.
they aim to destroy power generation and farming and the United States.
The Left needs costs such as this to further their goal of destroying the United States as we know it.
a modern day Professor Weston, found in C.S Lewis's Peralandra
In C.S. Lewis's novel “Perelandra,” the main antagonist is Professor Weston, who is a brilliant but evil scientist. He is described as a Cambridge physicist in his 50s who is arrogant, whining, and irritable. Weston's goal on Perelandra is to corrupt the planet and its inhabitants,
the marxist infiltration is everywhere and dug in like ticks on a dog.

Farmers need water to grow food
“We’ll continue to refine it as we move along in the process..”
In other words, expect cost increases.
Destroying the hydroelectric dams is stupid and evil.
The goal is apparently destruction of everything that works.
We’ll continue to refine it as we move along in the process..”
In other words, expect cost increases.

takes time to set up the hitmens grift lines.
““The decommissioning of the project at the end of the day still costs our customers less than to continue to own and operate the project,” said Janet Walther, the utility’s director of licensing and compliance.”
This dam has not been producing hydo power since 2021. Nobody would buy the license. Technology is obsolete and too expensive.
Dam lakefront owners are very mad the .ay lose their lake.
Anyone, anyone?
CapEx is usually capitalized and depreciated over time.
This is the direct result of "regulatory capture." Newsom was somehow pressured or influenced to appoint PG&E stooges to the CPUC. They have taken control and now you see outrageous stuff like this and the Net Energy Metering changes. It is corrupt, scandalous and it will never change until the shareholders of PGE take a well deserved hit and hopefully vote out the officers and board members running PG&E.
It would be fitting for some judge in Midland TX to block this.

I'll bet downstream owners are dreading a surprise lake.
In their living rooms.
Worshiping the earth is more important than survival.

( ESTIMATE !!! )

frithguild naively believing anything these destructive commie grifting destroyers of energy , farming and America ?
The people must pay for the cost yet the people are not ever paid when there is a profit.
Huh???
the commie.nazi.leftists use OUR money to destroy OUR country, infrastrature, power systems, water supply, schools, defense, economy, jobs, and representational system of governance
The three wellsprings of frith are (1) kinship and kindreds, (2) the web of loyalty created among a lord or chieftain and his (occasionally her) folk and (3) the relationships between the folk and their gods, goddesses and other holy wights.
( pagans think the commies will give them their B.C. world back, little do they understand once the Christians and Jews are eliminated they will be next in line for the ditch.)
