During the Planning Commission hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for municipalizing PG&E, there was a notable absence of opposition. All participants, including energy experts and commissioners, advocated for public control of the utility, reflecting a significant shift in sentiment against PG&E. Byron Kaufman emphasized the need for clean energy and control, while Commissioner Kathrin Moore and Sean McGarry expressed their strong support for finding alternatives to PG&E, indicating dwindling support for the private utility at City Hall.
Byron Kaufman, an energy consultant and the founder of GridScience.AI, discussed the need for an abundant clean-energy future, and said "this will only happen if you take full control."
Commissioner Kathrin Moore said "I am in full support of finding an alternative" to PG&E.
Sean McGarry said that "our ability to get free of PG&E is a glorious thought."
