Something a better PR campaign might be able to address. I'm no genius marketer, but perhaps on top of "please don't shoot our line workers" they could hype-train all the work that is actually happening. "See what progress we are making on our mistakes of the past!" type of message. Not sure how to say that without the needless reminder of how they got us all here in the first place, or if that's even possible, but there's got to be some type of spin out there... spin that I sure haven't seen.

They can't. They're doing something, but they aren't having a lot of success with it. See: https://www.kqed.org/news/11767619/monitors-spot-check-of-pge-wildfire-safety-effort-finds-missed-trees-recordkeeping-errors https://www.kqed.org/news/11767619/monitors-spot-check-of-pg... > In his report, Filip said that by late July, his team had inspected more than 1,550 PG&E vegetation management projects covering about 71 miles of the utility's power lines. That's a tiny fraction of the utility's more than 100,000 miles of distribution and transmission network. About 25,000 miles of those lines runs through areas the state has identified as high fire-threat districts. > In more than 400 cases, the monitor's team identified what Filip termed "potential exceptions" — nearly 3,300 trees that needed work or should have been considered for removal but were missed by PG&E's enhanced vegetation management program.
