> people of SF demonstrably do not want to take over PG&E

But PG&E has charged significantly more for power the last few years. Most people easily hit 50c/kwh on their bills.

Compare to Santa Clara, which has their own well run utility, and charges less than half PG&E rates.

I have some doubts about San Francisco’s ability to run a provider well, given the long history of corruption in city service providers and permitting agencies.
