I make the investment and then don't get the return. Sounds about right for the criminals at PG&E and their paid for people in office. Time to turn them into a not for profit public institution.

It’s so weird that a basic public utility is totally owned by a private company. Roads and water are maintained by the government in my county. Why not power?

Water is owned by private business on California too.

Yeah, just speaking for my county. I live in a county that has water and sewage run by a public utility. Also, the county has historically had a reputation for having really fantastic water that tastes amazing.
