Not that California cannot keep the lights on. They won’t do what is necessary to restore the former glory days of the once-Golden state.
A high-speed railroad to nowhere is NOT going to do it. Diverting funds from really necessary infrastructure to fulfill some fantasy about a Disney Tomorrowland that never was and cannot ever be is poor allocation of resources, to say the least.
California was once fully self-sufficient in petroleum and electrical power generation, and the magnanimous dispensation from the revenue-rich coffers of state government proved to be an attractive hazard for the weak of spirit, who flocked there in record numbers in the years following the Second World War.
So now, too late, they slam shut just the wrong gates, and reap the whirlwind.
What happens to the high-speed rail when PG&E flips-off the power (and it’s customers - see what I did there?)
Asking for a friend.
And suing PG&E $50B isn’t going to help do the vital ~$50B of maintenance needed to mitigate the fire risks.
