PGE already does that.



I wouldn't say 1 year of population decline during a pandemic where tech companies are allowing people to work remotely equals "people fleeing CA". I'd bet that given a couple years to work things out and California's population will start steadily climbing again.
Voluntary is always the way big problems must be solved, because ultimately any authority requires the buy-in of the majority.

I didn't realize PGE has a tiered schedule. That must be new.

California lost residents 2 years in a row, and now with distributed work being more viable, there's less reason for the high paying tech businesses to exist there. They've got serious problems looming.
