PG&E has also done everything they can to stop San Francisco from providing its own power. But hopefully that's finally coming to an end:

San Francisco is taking the biggest steps in history toward creating a full public-power system.

In filings with the California Public Utilities Commission, the city has established that PG&E’s local property is worth about $2.3 billion—and if the commission agrees, the city can move to seize those assets under the power of eminent domain.

Seems like an absurdly low number, $2.3 billion couldn't even recreate a fifth of the current electrical grid in SF.
