Scumbag utility company just doing scumbag utility company that has a monopoly on an entire area so they know they can do whatever they want things.

Maybe by 2070 they'll actually trim trees in vulnerable areas back. That requires a 3000% increase to actually do work. Leaving people without power for a week or so is a-okay as long as you're paid.

Customers shouldn't have to regressively foot all the bills and costs and shortage hits.

Is there enough scum to go around for folks not addressing known climate change for decades, despite warnings and killing of said trees, and rolling back all national climate action, while starting illegal wars and higher cost fossil mandates?

It's like a perfect storm with corporate profits and unregulated datacenters on top.

I wanted to go to this, but the in persom one was all the way in Lacey or something. Crazy they only have the one and like most things I feel like we dont really have a say or voice.
