Have you seen the latest PG&E ad, featuring the new CEO trying to tell us how her organization is doing good works? She says that, because of the drought, they can put in underground power lines cheaper and safer. I might add, the drought has presented this opportunity for PG&E largely via wildfires, meaning that those peoples’ pesky homes and burdensome trees are no longer in their way.
By the way, if it’s cheaper, does that mean PG&E will lower our rates and/or not raise them to pay for this work (and their fines, of course)?
