As a former resident of "Silicon Valley" (what *is* the zipcode of this mythical city?), and current resident of Seattle, I'm baffled as to what this admittedly colder-than-usual winter we're having in the Northwest has to do with the survival of PG&E half-assed infrastructure. Most of the major cities up here (including Seattle) have their own independent power supplied by the various salmon-chewing dams on the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Since when is PG&E using hydro from the PNW? I can see NoCal folks getting uppity about the power drain that is El Lay, but give me a break in pointing your fingers northward.
