(3,310 posts)PG&E does very little except pay thier executives tens of millions of dollars. and then cuts power when the winds come up. they also own most of the politicians here due to contributions. we do not get what we pay for. This is not how to run a government, we have the worst of one-party rule and crony capitalism combined. And Newsome doesn't give a damn.
Yes, first whack the taxes, second tell PG&E 'this is what you can charge, this is what you have to do, and if you don't like it GTFO of business and make it a public utility.
The forst and formost thing is cheap energy, any and every other issue is a distant second. Pocketbood issue matter, first and formost.

Dirt cheap gas and diesel, dirt cheap electricity, Inflation as an urgent, urgent crisis and *then* I'll give a damn about anything else. May anyone who doesn't think inexpensive fuel for work trucks is more important than climate change never be able to get anyone to show up to fix their plumbing or roof.
The guys and gals with trucks full of tools building and repairing, those are the people who matter to me. I don't care how hard we have to fuck PG&E and the radical nutcase anti-ICE greens, my buddies and I need to get F250s and Rams to job sites to build and fix shit.
