Nationalize every shred of infrastructure in the country. Corporations have proven time and time again that they’re all too dogmatic and too authoritarian to successfully to run any kind of essential industry.
SMUD, the community owned electric utility that, ironically, serves Sacramento, is about half as expensive as PG&E, and on top of that they’ve never been convicted of manslaughter because they couldn’t be arsed to inspect their infrastructure.
Roseville Electric (just next to Sacramento/SMUD) is even better with 99.99% up time, and the lowest electricity rates in the state and nearly the western US. It’s my favorite reason for living there, but also why I tell everyone to just run PG&E as a state electric utility.
