I really need a source for this story. How did PG&E get wires and poles if the city couldn't get them? Was there a country-wide pole and wire shortage?

I'm all for hating on PG&E but this just sounds like a Reddit-style meme.

OK, found a writeup. Read Tim Redmond's article here: https://48hills.org/2025/12/the-great-pge-debacle-a-timeline...

I was off by a bit. Apparently, the City claimed to have run out of money just short of the finish line.

You can find more articles about PG&E and the Raker Act.
