PG&E has put customers in parts of 25 counties on alert for more public safety power shut-offs. The alert is because of a windy forecast with low humidity and continuing dry conditions. At this point, about 303,000 customers are on stand-by for the outages, beginning sometime on Wednesday. All of this is subject to change, so check capradio.org for the latest. 

Meanwhile, PG&E, San Diego Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison were called to Sacramento yesterday to answer questions at a legislative oversight hearing. CapRadio reporter Bob Moffitt joins Insight to discuss the testimony.
