So by last count my family and I have been without power 9 times in the last 3 months. Today the lights flickered on and off a number of times but stayed on, well until around 7pm. I am sitting on the patio listing to the rain in darkness (my old friend in PG&E land) again. The rain while hard is not really that bad in comparison to the storms of my childhood on the east coast, yet the power is out. The fact of the matter is the power grid in CA has been mismanaged and neglected for years, with the power companies focused 100% on profit. Power is an essential need. I am generally against government run industry however at this point I very much believe that we would be better served by having PG&E taken over. It should be run as a nonprofit with the goal of insuring power and safety. The leadership that runs it should limited to a group of people that have science and engineering degrees. Also title here needs to be updated…..over 320K without power now.
