    CA has gotten bad by all the progressive policies. WE pay over $4.00 a gallon for fuel. Its time to move to TX.

    PGE stock is tanking this morning.

    Ted Koppel wrote a book a few years ago called 'LIGHTS OUT' its a good read. Talks about after a week with no power people start to panic. After a few weeks per chaos. Electricity is up there with water and food. PG&G is a mess. Its going to get worse before it gets better in CA.

    What happens when terrorists go after U.S. power grids? Emmy and Peabody Award winner Ted Koppel investigates that question in his new book, "Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath." The veteran newsman joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the potentially massive toll from a possible full-scale cyberattack.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    There’s nothing progressive about the power situation. Enron lobbied for deregulation and privatization. PG&E tried to give it’s execs millions in bonuses after they went bankrupt. They squandered their emergency money on bonuses. The kleptocrat Rapeublicons always fill their pockets and leave the people to suffer.

    agree to disagree.

    Quoted from Roostking:

    Yea, because repubs run the state of Cali lol. Get real dude.

    The entire California Capitol run by Democrats. None of their policies make any sense.
    Like the recent fuel tax to fix our horrible roads. Not sure anyone likes paying over $4.00 a gallon.

    SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Selling appointments at the California DMV is now against the law.

    Governor Gavin Newscum signed Assembly Bill 317 Monday, making it an infraction for companies to sell appointments to people.

    Another great law passed by our CA government. lol

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Disasters don’t just happen on the day of. Years in the making.

    and there is no reason PGE has to have overhead transmission lines. They can put them in the ground.

    Quoted from Dent00:

    The enormous cost of underground high voltage transmission line installation, assuming that is ever done, will likely be added to the local bills in that area. And you can bet, that cost will be more than you can imagine. Electrical service will become a luxury to those willing to pay a bill that makes a monthly house mortgage look like getting a bottle of water.

    Maybe in some areas. However, at this point it seems like the most logical solution.
    Power was cut yesterday due to high winds because of all the overhead transmission lines. And some areas had no wind but were tied to the grid and still got cut like my office in Modesto, CA.

    Whats next? PGE goes belly up and they turn off the power for the entire state because they can? lol

    As much as I despise our current CA government. They need to step up and fix this shit!
