Well, that sounds more like a discussion about if it should be a private company, government run or some kind of coop owned by the customers.

The last one generally benefits the customers.

> coop owned by the customers

I find it a bit hilarious that I, living in the reddest state in the union, have member-owned cooperative power [1] that is 100% wind while my parents in California pay 6x my rate for mostly natural gas [2] and wildfires.

That too. But since we're in this situation where it's a public company, it's just funny to me that people's finances are both being helped and harmed by PG&E, probably canceling itself out.

Old people’s (specifically asset owners, so above average wealth) finances being helped out and young people’s finances being harmed.

Although, I don’t really see any other way for a society with a non pyramid shaped population histogram.
