PG&E cut power to millions throughout California this month as fires blaze across the state. The move has prompted many to call to municipalize the company. Democracy Collaborative researcher Johanna Bozuwa explains.

She's right about Nebraska. Our public power districts are 10x better than all the private ones combined.
Of course it's climate change!!😂😂😂
My power has been cut off twice for roughly 24 hrs each time by PG&E (Eureka, CA). I'd like to see PG&E top management arrested and tried for reckless endangerment. How many people died or were injured when their power went off? It's likely the PG&E managers will get off with no penalties at all, because they are elites, and elites are not subject to legal penalties.
Rather than just breaking off pieces of PG&E to turn into public utilities, it makes sense to break up the company and turn it all into various public utilities designed to best respond to the needs of their local customers.
GREAT NEWS.
Large public utilities like PG&E should be publicly owned especially when they're as irresponsible and greedy as PG&E has been. By failing to perform necessary maintenance, PG&E killed people to increase their profits. That's criminal irresponsibility.
GRETA says its climate change who caused the fires not PE&G. And because of it only 9,5 years left to live!
Splendid Rothchilds plans are working splendidly Agenda 21 order through chaos burn them out plunge them into darkness roll out martial law then deploy the Glorious blue helmet FEMA rescue vehicles until then my Sheeples back to work pay your taxes stay tuned to your government news networks for future events and further updates as your master Lord Rothschild laughs his ass off
If cutting off the electricity doesn't work maybe they can cut off the oxygen too
Theirs a term for this REAL ESTATE WARFARE .

As a Californian I want to make clear:
PG&E = Pacific Gas & Electric = Northern California (San Francisco, Sacramento)
SCE = Southern California Edison (Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Santa Barbara)
If ANY utility is MISS managed it needs to be fixed!!! Fire whoever is walking off with the cash and put ‘em in PRISON!!!!!
Both of these young women are terrific!
A recent Pentagon investigation concluded that there will be increasing dangerous effects from the Climate Crisis. These include Forest Fires & Failures of the Electricity Grid. The Report indicated that this must be solved in less than 20 years time. Oil Companies pay for the fantasy-world of false information to maximise immediate profits (even though scientists in the Oil Companies warned of Climate Change in the 1950's):

Corporations are nothing but organized greed. Priorities are to the owners. I don't understand how they are allowed to exist.
As far as I see it you have one chance and that is Sanders and he has to move further left.
Well wake up.
Money is their God. Greed is their creed.
These execs will walk with huge bonuses and no handcuffs…

PG&E is more than willing to take the blame for these 'wildfires' because they don't want you looking for the REAL cause. Check out NeverLoseTruth2 & Mike Morales & LogicBeforeAuthority & StopTheCrime & APlaneTruth4U channels. they are ALL covering weather warfare.
I think pg n e is just trying to prove a point…in all the past years when there were fires…they have never shut off power to the people…this has something to do woth them being sued
Californistan not working out 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ who saw this coming ??? Oh ya everyone. Californians vote and ruin their own state. Not America’s problem. It’s California’s problem. Sad thing is those up north are paying for the mess in the south. California should have split into 2 states /.
As is now- nobody outside of California cares as the entire country has had California politics crammed down their throats. The entire country said everything happening in Cali was stupid and unsustainable. But everyone voted for more trash politicians. Mexico should be gifted SoCal.
But wait a minute.. according to neolibs, the private sectors can do things better because of the profit motives.

PG and E is owned by Rockefellers who owns billions, he has plenty of money to help this disaster, after all they created it!
Very fine interview; quite appreciable. BUT, at 19:55 or so , Johanna speaks of or sort of like saying incarcerated people shouldn't be employed to help try to fight these wildfires. Why be against incarcerated people contributing against these destructive fires. We're often told that many incarcerated people are incarcerated without having committed any violent crimes; in some cases, maybe millions, without having committed any real crime at all. If they wish to participate in trying to extinguish these wildfires, then why oppose that? It could be therapeutic for them, the sane ones, to be able to participate ; rather than always and forcibly, oppressively keeping them SECLUDED from the rest of society. Not everyone in prison is "crazy".
I also think this activist needs to get her head in the game and think about how to fight the big energy tyrants. Privileged righteous indignation does not win the battle.
I like the idea of public ownership of utilities. I live in Montana, where two power companies have a monopoly on electricity and gas in the state. As you may have heard, it gets cold in Montana during the winter, meaning bills for heat and electricity fly up. It's exploitative. This activist is correct in saying that public ownership is no panacea, but this could begin a trend against the last thirty-forty years of privatization.
Any entity that was put in place to provide oversight would be susceptible to corruption. Most likely local governments at the least would have some say. Look at the Board of Directors of any entity, even/especially non-profits, and you will see politicians and bankers at the helm.
Nice work but don't dumb it down by bringing Rubins and Tuckers opinion on this and validating them as if it matters. It soured the segment. Harshed my mellow.
Maybe if California had not spent hundreds of billions of dollars feeding, schooling, housing, and providing medical care for the millions of illegals residing in their shithole state, they could then afford to make needed upgrades to their electrical infrastructure. Too complicated? It's not. Get rid of the illegals and save billions of dollars every year.
Verizon turned off the Firefighters' phone access during one of the fires in the north, last year, because they hadn't applied for an upgrade!
I believe it was in Redding, CA. I would love the energy utility to become publically owned.
if we can take pge over without giving them a dime, go for it. But maybe they are pissing off the public so they can get a big pay day on the public money because the owners lost a bundle on the stock price. careful what we wish for. Revoke their cooperate charter.
Blame PGE for climate??? Are you kidding? This isnt real news.
Should never have been privatized!!
Lol even the Real news network is dunking on Dummy Rave Dubin
Dam and them people are pouring in here sucks I cant even get across main roads withou being in traffic
They tried to pass proposition 16 back in 2010 that would have required a 2/3 super majority to nationalize PG&E. Basically to make sure it stays in private hands.
Guys, this is what neofascism looks like.
DO NOT PAY THIS SURCHARGE.
PROSECUTE THE CROOKS.
