This is PG&E headquarters -
high hopes SFPUC can afford to buy it -
less equipment - that PG&E will never, ever
negotiate to sell to SF Public Utilities Commission -
all talk and no walk - what so ever.
Our SF Board of Supervisors - love to wag their tongues - that organ that has NO bone - they wag and wag ad nauseam -it makes one PUKE.
We all know that Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) came to be when the City and County of San Francisco - failed to complete the power lines it owned - stopping short of completion - some 30 miles from San Francisco - South San Francisco.
The Raker Act of 1913 did not envision Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) - it was not even on the horizon at that time.
The dumb SF Supervisors who have NOT read the Raker Act - have NO clue when the talk about the current plan by PGE to declare bankruptcy.
Have No clue how Chapter 11 works - more when it comes to PG&E - that has a $40 billion annual operation.
Simply put PG&E has an annual operational cost of about $40 Billion - it controls 40% of the natural gas and electricity - in Northern California.
On completing the High Power line from South San Francisco to San Francisco - Pacific Gas and Electric - were poised to distribute electricity and added natural gas - to the City and County of San Francisco.
Since mostly White Congressmen - played an important role in the creation of Hetch Hetchy - following the Raker Act of 1913 - the main reason to created was to bring clean drinking water to San Francisco - from some 160 miles - Yosemite.
The Raker Act envisioned hydro-electricity too - embraced Municipalities, the Army, those in Public Housing - allowing them to have subsidized - electricity and clean drinking water.
Today SFPUC has was established in 1996 provides Tulare County with Electricity - to rake in millions. Leases land to Cattle Ranchers to make money, Leases a Granite Quarry near Sunol to make money, leases Golf Courses to make money - and has been dubious in its accountability - lacking transparency.
We must remember Willie L. Brown Jr., created SFPUC - the devil himself.
You may not know this but SFPUC is an Enterprise Department - that rakes in millions - and some greedy and corrupt - are having a field - day.
An Enterprise Department cannot tap into the City and County of San Francisco - General Fund. It is mandated to come before the SF Board of Supervisors - on matters above $10 million.
Many SF Board of Supervisors - as we witnessed on January 15, 2019 - at SF City Hall - room 250 - a despicable presentation backed by Harlan Kelly - trying to hoodwink the public at large.
Juliet Ellis -
time to wipe that sordid smile - away.
One for sure Juliet Ellis - who has been charged by the Fair Political Practices Commission:

San Francisco titles itself as the City and County of San Francisco - because we had jurisdiction - from San Francisco to Palto Alto.
Former Michael Peevey -
he was fired from the California Public Utilities Commission -
Mike has a cozy relation with PG&E.
The California Public Utilities Commission for years have had a cozy relation with PG&E - appointments - made to its Board by State of California Governors - in the past - some Commissioners appointed - dubious in nature - Mike Peevey.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission was created in 1996 some 23 years ago - is a novice institution - with very poor leadership - ever since it was conceived - compared to PG&E that has been in existence for over 114 years.
Most of its existence - until very recently - its management - was stellar - I had the opportunity to meet many in Management - and found them to be Fair.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE) was founded in 1905:
https://www.pge.com/en_US/about-pge/company-information/profile/profile.page
Pacific Gas and Electric has over 5.4 million accounts - and covers a very large area in Northern California.
From its inception - the filthy rich in San Francisco - have invested in PG&E.
If you visit PG&E's website above - the reader gets a very good idea - about its operations - and the many upgrades made in recent years - and on going projects costing billions of dollars.
There is NO way SF Public Utilities Commission can take over the distribution of power and gas in San Francisco. That will never, ever happen. It simply does not have the leadership and capacity.
There is NO way PG&E will sell its pertinent and critical equipment to SFPUC - SFPUC simply does not have the capability, experience and capacity - to provide a quality service.
More with high power electrical engineers, electrician, maintenance staff - if there is an outage - SFPUC will take days if not weeks to fix the problem.
PG&E suffered a great blow when the San Bruno Fire took place - many homes destroyed and many human beings lost lives. This episode - should have awoken PG&E but it did not.
Other fires took place - because the large areas covered by PG&E - has many hot spots with dead trees - and forests where the under-growth has not been cleared -for decades.
PG&E has helicopters, other very expensive equipment - needing high powered experience electricians - to address sub-station, sophisticated transformers - other equipment - that will take SF PUC years to come to par. That is putting it mildly.
Barbara Hale at SF City Hall - on January 15, 2019 was hog washing - her presentation. All she cares is to keep her job - Barbara Hale has failed - miserably.
SFPUC should have had their " complete built out " ten years old - they fought us - tooth and nail - now, they dare express to take over the electrical - distribution.
They are think ass backwards - as they have done from its inception.
PG&E has stellar and astute high powered electricians in the thousands - to address any calamity.
PG&E - has also volunteered to send its best experienced workers - to help other cities - in need - all over our Nation - hurricanes, fires, tornadoes and so on.
For that service and fortitude and more - some of us in the know are grateful and more the PG&E - have our deepest respect.
Let us not mix the PG&E workers with upper Management to work to provide profits for the investors - those that own stocks and shares - that is a completely different - ball game that smells of Sulphur.
Our SF Board of Supervisors have NO clue about the quality of employees that have PG&E has on its rolls.
Less they have no dies about the experience required - dealing with high power line, sub-station, transmission lines - and a host of other important factors.
Our SF BOS speak in generalities - saying things - that they have NO comprehension - talking from both sides of their dirty mouth.
In fact the SF BOS has No clue about SFPUC employees and those on their rolls - a full 60% are not satisfied at their work place.
SFPUC in recent years has under Harlan Kelly - created an atmosphere where employees are harassed.
Recently we had Tommy Moala, Tony Flores, Mark Harris, Karen Kubick, Surjeet Singh - all experienced SFPUC employees leave - others too - too many to mention. Why?
Today SFPUC has over 1000 miles of sewer pipes a full 80% of the pipes are over 90 years old - leaking and leeching and have NOT been replaced. Why?
Today SFPUC has over 1100 miles of clean water pipes and a full 85% of those pipes are over 90 miles old and some older - leaking and leeching.
SFPUC has failed miserably on the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) which cost over $4.8 billion - and we have serious issues at Mountain Tunnel, Irvington Tunnel, Calaveras Dam - and the list goes on.
The Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) started with a price tag of $6 Billion and has now reached over $10 Billion. All raised by Bond Measures - with little or no Transparency and less Accountability.
Dwayne Jones wheeling and dealing -
using tax payers money - more Community Benefits -
to fill his own - coffers.
Millions of dollars - Community Benefits - has been wasted - controlled by a " thug " - Dwayne Jones who does not work for the SFPUC - but has been hired as a Consultant - the man has defied norms - daily hoodwinks the public at large.
General Manager Harlan Kelly -
time to rid Juliet Ellis -
Barbara Hale - and a host of crooked employees -
causing endless problems at 525 Golden Gate Avenue -
no one can fool all the people all of the time.
