We have some successful non-private power companies in the state, so another power company modeled on them at least has the possibility of working out. The private approach has not worked for PG&E so far, we need to attempt fixes. If you have better ideas for how to fix PG&E you should contact your representatives or perhaps start a ballot initiative.

It's already heavily regulated. Same bad decisions PG&E management took would be taken by State PG&E management for the same reasons. > If you have better ideas for how to fix PG&E you should contact your representatives or perhaps start a ballot initiative. This is another fallacy, for which I don't have a name. It goes like this: I assume my solution fixes the problem. In order to be allowed to poke holes in my solution, you must present another solution that you can prove fixes the problem, or your criticism is invalid.
