Instead, the company used federal courts and bankruptcy protection to evade their responsibilities. Now, they are tying to punish citizens of California for their problems. But there is a solution.
They are in bankruptcy and cannot move laterally so to speak---they cannot sell the company now. Now, the State Legislature should mandate installation of underground lines and forbid the company from passing the cost on to consumers. It is a cost of doing business in the eco-bio-climato-world of California. After they do this then mandate a breakup of the company.
Lol, Power companies have no choice but to pass costs to consumers (or tax payers). Underground power is good for about 30 years then has to be replaced. The reconduct job would put every other underground utility in jeopardy. Overhead distribution is the cheapest and easiest distribution system to build and maintain.
