Welcome to Lost Valley tails by me, Martin Seebach. N/A Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue. Above lines were automagically generated my first rant follows. Dear PG&E, Patti Poppe, I applaud your efforts and believe it can help. A personal concern forces me to ask, "Why is Santa Clara County not addressed?" One circuit terminates one pole further at the pumphouse across San Felipe Creek from my home. Another transits our Southern parcels and heads East on HP founders local ranch in the area North of Coe Park. One year ago I spent most nights heading to a ridge line and looking for flames N, S and E. If they were visible the firelines had been breached and I needed to leave. The August firestorms set off by lightning were a month of near terror for many and devastation for many more Santa Clara and San Benito counties residents. The letter received from you last week was vague other than the over riding message of, "Expect unexpected power outages." That brought to mind one of your strategic bankruptcies in recent years. Interesting strategy to pull 6 billion in cash and using it to reward the people who ran the company to a virtual precipice leaving customers and your system where it still is sitting. Proactive measures have a cost that 6 billion United States dollars could have funded. Please refrain from doing as big pharma did last week by jacking up innoculation prices around 30 percent. To compound that blatant greed mongering a CEO crowed to investors in a staged call how he'd single handedly taken projected profit of 18 billion to 30 +/- billion during the worst pandemic in recorded history. To your credit the 6 billion was not discussed nor praised in or out of PG&E. It is much easier and less onerous to underground power distribution after a whole community has been razed but the cost of hurt to that community is incalculable.
