The review is due by Thursday, and she ordered several PG&E executives to appear at an emergency CPUC hearing Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom also criticized PG&E for its performance during the outage, blaming what he called decades of mismanagement, underinvestment and lousy communication with the public.

Forty eight to 72 hours before utilities shut off the power, they are supposed to notify firefighters and other emergency responders, including Cal Fire, Cal OES and local groups. If they’re planning on turning off transmission lines, the lines that carry high voltage electricity from plants to substations, they also have to notify \u003ca href=\"http://www.caiso.com/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal ISO\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, after the fact, utilities have to file reports about the shutoffs with their regulator, the California Public Utilities Commission. You can see one of those reports \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/PSPS-Report-Letter-10.10.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11779790\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11779790\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/IMG_4181-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"The Public Safety Power Shutoffs darken a street corner in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Public Safety Power Shutoffs darken a street corner in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What Actions Will Local and State Governments Take to Prevent the Shutoffs From Becoming More Frequent?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jeremy Siegel\u003c/em>: It remains to be seen what they’ll \u003cem>actually \u003c/em>do, but there’s definitely talk among legislators that something must be done to prevent this from becoming the new normal. We’ve been talking to state lawmakers who say this will be a big subject of conversation when the legislature reconvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press conference on Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom was asked about this, and he said something along the lines of: even if PG&E became publicly owned, that’s not going to fix everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because, according to Newsom, their infrastructure is old, it’s got problems, it needs to be fixed. And that’s gonna take a lot of time and a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even if California were to take control of the utility, it’s not like they could snap their fingers and get rid of this problem.

A little back-of-the-envelope math: Strung together, the lines would extend from San Francisco to Buenos Aires and back about four times. Burying lines is very expensive. On its website, PG&E estimates it would cost $3 million per mile to put its lines underground. So $3 million x 81,000 miles = $243 billion, which is more than California’s entire 2019 budget. One report suggests that burying lines in urban places can be even more expensive — up to $5 million a mile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, consumer safety advocates argue that leaders in Sacramento should require the utility to bury lines in heavily populated, high-risk fire areas.\" \u003cem>— Kevin Stark\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11779795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11779795\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley grad student Aaron Pomerantz holds one of the caterpillars he needed to take into his home during the power outage. \" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley grad student Aaron Pomerantz holds one of the caterpillars he needed to take into his home during the power outage. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Aaron Pomerantz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What's the Craziest Thing You've Found While Covering This Whole Thing?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lauren Sommer\u003c/em>: Okay, this may not be “crazy,” but I spoke to a U.C.

Forty eight to 72 hours before utilities shut off the power, they are supposed to notify firefighters and other emergency responders, including Cal Fire, Cal OES and local groups. If they’re planning on turning off transmission lines, the lines that carry high voltage electricity from plants to substations, they also have to notify \u003ca href=\"http://www.caiso.com/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal ISO\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, after the fact, utilities have to file reports about the shutoffs with their regulator, the California Public Utilities Commission. You can see one of those reports \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/PSPS-Report-Letter-10.10.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11779790\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11779790\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/IMG_4181-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"The Public Safety Power Shutoffs darken a street corner in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Public Safety Power Shutoffs darken a street corner in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What Actions Will Local and State Governments Take to Prevent the Shutoffs From Becoming More Frequent?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jeremy Siegel\u003c/em>: It remains to be seen what they’ll \u003cem>actually \u003c/em>do, but there’s definitely talk among legislators that something must be done to prevent this from becoming the new normal. We’ve been talking to state lawmakers who say this will be a big subject of conversation when the legislature reconvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press conference on Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom was asked about this, and he said something along the lines of: even if PG&E became publicly owned, that’s not going to fix everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because, according to Newsom, their infrastructure is old, it’s got problems, it needs to be fixed. And that’s gonna take a lot of time and a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even if California were to take control of the utility, it’s not like they could snap their fingers and get rid of this problem.

A little back-of-the-envelope math: Strung together, the lines would extend from San Francisco to Buenos Aires and back about four times. Burying lines is very expensive. On its website, PG&E estimates it would cost $3 million per mile to put its lines underground. So $3 million x 81,000 miles = $243 billion, which is more than California’s entire 2019 budget. One report suggests that burying lines in urban places can be even more expensive — up to $5 million a mile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, consumer safety advocates argue that leaders in Sacramento should require the utility to bury lines in heavily populated, high-risk fire areas.\" \u003cem>— Kevin Stark\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11779795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11779795\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley grad student Aaron Pomerantz holds one of the caterpillars he needed to take into his home during the power outage. \" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/painted-ladies-3-1020x574.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley grad student Aaron Pomerantz holds one of the caterpillars he needed to take into his home during the power outage. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Aaron Pomerantz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What's the Craziest Thing You've Found While Covering This Whole Thing?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lauren Sommer\u003c/em>: Okay, this may not be “crazy,” but I spoke to a U.C.
