Without brave, hard working patriotic men, none of this would exist. Dedicated engineers and workers of PG&E did what people said was impossible. They cranked out hydro electricity through the lines, eventually taking it to the Bay Area from other stations, making it possible for people to live here. There’ve been upgrades at those places but much of the system is still the same. We couldn’t have done it without these men. 🇺🇸 Pride.
