The theory goes, the private sector is more efficient at running an enterprise. In terms of extracting value I suppose that theory is correct. Meanwhile, a week before the fires up North, a crew of LADWP workers swept my neighborhood replacing transformers, cables, insulators and mounting bars on every pole for blocks around me. The kind of maintenance that PG&E should have done over a decade ago. I don't know what the rates are on PG&E, but I do know LADWP charges a little more than half the price for electricity as SoCal Edison does in the areas it serves. LADWP is owned by the City of Los Angeles.
