Even if thats true, they wouldn't have though. The neglect of infrastructure by pg&e is pretty much classic corruption and profit extraction. In a different universe where pg&e isnt a terrible organization protected by political corruption, sure maybe but we don't live in that world sadly.

tree clearing regs are true but irrelevant to OPs point about renewables.
