hey wait a minute, PGE has a monopoly  in Nor Calif. they admitted that one of their transformers started the big Campfire last year. this particular transformer was in need of being repair or replacement at least a year or 2 before the fires. they did not fix the issue this is negligence. Before this PGE also with Southern Calif Edison power company were ordered by a judge to get there transmission lines in order. Both companies had 3 choices 1.) put their lines underground or 2.) insulate the high voltage lines or 3.) trim the trees.  So Cal Edison choose to insulate their lines.  PGE chose to trim the trees. but PGE never completed the task, they did not do what was court ordered. PGE is not a public utility, they are privately owned and operated. A Rothchild was a CEO until after the big fire. PGE has been sued many times for negligence, but they dont care they only care about the money.  Erin Brockivich movie is quite telling. the PUC (public utilities commission) is in charge of regulating PGE but they do nothing. maybe they are in PGE pockets. The people in Calif have no control or imput what so ever. Follow the money.
