PG&E’s decision to cut power last month (and possibly again this week) to hundreds of thousands of customers has thrown Northern California into disarray.  Yet despite the blackouts, fires still raged, with people evacuating and in some cases losing homes.  

How did California end up in this situation? Who was most affected by the power shut-offs, and what can be done to keep the lights on in the future?

We’ll discuss on City Visions tonight at 7pm, with guests:

• Nick Chaset, Chief Executive Officer of East Bay Community Energy;
• Martha Guzman Aceves, Commissioner at the California Public Utilities Commission; and
• Michael Wara, Director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.

Tune in at 7pm at 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live. Call 866-798-TALK (8255) with questions or email us at cityvisions@kalw.org!
