I'm in a city that's not served by PG&E, it's Silicon Valley Power. It's much cheaper than PG&E, more reliable, and as far as I know has not started any fires.

  SVP has 55 miles of transmission lines. PG&E has 18,466.

    Also SVP ties into PG&E's grid to buy the ~65% of demand that isn't satisfied by local production.

    ... and I'd wager that very few of those 55 miles runs through fantastically dry forests that are just waiting for the tiniest push to set them on fire.
