Really? You do realize that PG&E's distribution system has been badly
neglected for decades, and has long been an accident ready to happen.
And most of it is bare copper, making it more likely to start a fire.
All because management CHOSE not to maintain it, instead paying
themselves big salaries and bonuses, paying dividends to investors, and
buying back stock. The result is that correcting the problem requires a
MASSIVE investment and a massive amount of work that will takes decades
to complete, and years to even begin!
As to Elecraft - many of their employees live in areas that WERE
affected by the power shutoffs. Some are my neighbors. Our generators
have gotten a lot of running time in the past week or so.
