After last week's power shutoffs, San Jose has joined San Francisco in pushing to buy PG&E power lines to create a municipal utility.
PG&E responded to San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo's proposal by saying the lines aren't for sale, thank you very much.
In turning down San Francisco's separate $2.5 billion offer to buy the utility's local power lines, PG&E seemed offended at the very suggestion that anyone else could do a better job, saying, "We disagree with the suggestion that PG&E's San Francisco customers would be better served by another entity."
