Then so be it? Seems better than having an entity so large that it's shutting power off to large chunks of the state.

What? PG&E aren't shutting off power because they are large.

They are shutting off power because there are massive windstorms hitting California right now that are hitting massive swaths of the state at once. Other utilities in California also are performing "public safety power shutoffs".

Even LADWP, the PUBLIC utility of Los Angles has commenced "public safety power shutoffs"

Mind you, the entire concept of "public safety power shutoffs" was 100% California state government approved in May.
