> maintaining poles, transformers, and wires

The things that PG&E has notably been neglecting, resulting in highly destructive wildfires?

The idea that it costs every single ratepayer $100/month to maintain the infrastructure is ludicrous. It's just attempting to deflect blame from PG&E's horrible mismanagement to environmentalists.

In places with honestly run utilities that cost is closer to $5-$10/month per household.
