Yeah, the problem with bringing all this stuff under direct government control is that it's REALLY expensive to keep it maintained for residents in wildfire prone areas.

SF is planning on buying out PG&E's assets, which will almost certainly reduce rates for SF customers and increase them for the rest of PG&E's base.

I think that CA could transition to the Texas model and take control of transmission while leaving generation to the market. If the state could properly assess transmission fees, it could guide future development away from wildfire areas and incentivize local generation where possible.

It would also drive down electricity prices and finally fix the embarrassing issue with "drill baby drill" TX doing better with renewables than CA.
