What's wrong with this picture? I see the generators, holding a shotgun at PG&E's neck, and telling the state that they'll pull the triggers if the state doesn't come up with the dough. They're not even wearing a mask! Yet, no one is seeing anything wrong with this and they're acting like it's PG&E's fault.
Also note that: Half of these generators used to be owned and operated by PG&E; they were spun off quickly after deregulation in an effort to boost profits. Had I been out of diapers at the time, I would have seen this day coming back then. Root cause, then: PG&E can't get us electricity because they decided profit was more important than assured service. As usual, I blame capitalism. (Yes I am a pinko.)
