  Why do you think electricity prices are high?
Because PG&E:

* spent billions over the past few decades on stock buybacks

* spent billions on fines and restitution for malfeasance like falsifying call-before-you-dig records

* spends tens of millions annually on stock dividends (down from billions annually pre-bankruptcy)

* used their safety budget to pay executive bonuses

* stacked the CPUC in their favor

* rakes in billions in profit (roughly $1/share EPS) annually
