Bungled and mismanaged

I strongly support the effort to reduce wildfire risk. Unfortunately this has been horribly mismanaged. It seems like there was a whole lot of planning for the shutoff and no planning at all regarding restoration of power. It has been 24 hours now. We got a nice rain last night, and there is almost no wind. Xcel has not restored power, and they are not communicating at all. There doesn't even seem to be a plan to restore power. It is clear that the PUC and Xcel are not capable of managing these events. Like others, we lost hundreds of dollars in groceries and missed out on garbage collection because the garage door won't open.

Xcel and PUC have had 4 years since the Marshall fire to mitigate risk and this is the best they can come up with? How many lines have been buried since 2021? It seems inexcusable to run overhead lines through high fire risk areas.

Colorado is turning into California faster than I thought possible...
