Davis Looks to Dump PG&E

A movement is underway in Davis, CA and surrounding Yolo County to dump PG&E in favor of the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District. If successful, PG&E would lose 70,000 customers.

Yolo County Supervisor Yamada told the Contra Costa Times:

"Once people realize the savings they can achieve with a public utility -- as opposed to an investor-owned utility that only cares about maximizing their profits -- everyone will want to municipalize," Yamata said. "This could spread to the Bay Area and elsewhere, and that scares PG&E."

Public utility rates are currently about 30% lower than PG&E's.
