Kalifornia my man. We have to deal with Southern California Edison for power... Granted Northern California has companies that start giant fires.. soo
Now that’s not very fair to PG&E. There’s a lot going on there.
CA passed a law a bunch of years ago preventing meaningful increases in rates for power. Then population exploded and system load went through the roof. So you had higher load on older infrastructure and no increased capital intake to allow for even basic maintenance, let alone upgrading the grid for current or future demands.
until there is a massive investment in CA’s grid, and basically every bit of infrastructure, shit just gonna get worse. You have dirty fossil fuel burning plants that have shit records (Mosslanding) getting investment while nuke power generation with flawless records (Diablo Canyon) are being shut down because... why? Fear?
