Wow what is going on with PGand E. 2 weeks ago there was an outage in the west part of AG for hours because birds flew into the line(?). Then the next week on the east side an 8 hour outage because of a fire in a vault, now Cambria because of a transformer fire.


I don’t feel as though PGand E is keeping their equipment maintained and I think the stores are all a cover up.


It just seems bizarre to have a big outage every week. Any one else believe P G and E or do you too think this is their fault?

Hope Diablo is safer than their transformers…

It should be. Transformers have finite lives and this stuff happens regularly somewhere. It shouldn’t be a big deal because it should be expected now and then.

And nuke power plants melt down more and more, which are changing our expectations and becoming more acceptable to us.
