A real protest would be to get millions of people to synchronize flipping their breakers on and off every 5 or so minutes for an hour. That would likely actually cause infrastructural damage. Power distribution infrastructure isn’t really designed to handle repeated massive transients like that, afaik. And that’s when it’s maintained properly - we’re talking about PG&E here.

For real though, when the fuck are they going to have their C-suite thrown in jail and just get taken over by the state? I struggle to imagine how CA itself could do a worse job than PG&E.

Yeah and that'll what, cause an ancient substation to blow and burn everyone's houses down again?

You're right... but that won't stop you catching terrorism charges if you try pushing for that.

Ohh yes then do ConEd here in NYC next.

Oh yeah I hear they’re pretty bad. At least they don’t regularly set half of your state on fire, though.
