Greed and absolute malfeasance. That is the PG&E of yesterday and today. In the 21st century no doubt.

And we the ratepayers are held hostage by higher rates and continued never before seen in such frequency, power outages affecting thousands often. And now, the never ending asinine commercials promising a better tomorrow.

Shameful PG&E. Shameful!

PG&E doesn’t care about us, as long as they hand $$$$ to Gov Newsom and the Legislatiors, and get the PUC to blindly approve every rate increase the request, they dont care.

Why should they care, they have a license from the PUC to operate a monopoly covering half of California.

When was the last time a rate increase was turned down?

Ever wonder why you see so many people out looking at power poles and Davey Tree trucks parked waiting for their shifts to end. Because the more it cost to provide and deliver power, the more they can charge. PG&E has a disincentive to provide reasonably priced electricity to their customers.

I had a Davey supervisor tell me to file a claim against PG&E for the mess Davey left on my property. I had a signed agreement with Davey stating how they were to remove fifteen trees cut into pieces no longer than six foot, so I could move them. I refused to file against PG&E and informed Davey I would be taking them to court, naming the supervisor, manager and owners. They assured me PG&E would take care of it if I just filed a claim, probably pay them to do the work a second time. A crew Forman working nearby sent two guys over and had it resolved in a couple hours.

Yep, PG&E provides crappy service, yet they hate competition. Thanks to too many home owners taking power back into their own hands and installing rooftop solar, PG&E pushed the PUC to eliminate many of the financial incentives to get solar
