Why is it that the costs "trickle down to the electricity consumers" while utilities like PG&E report record profits? Are profits more important than safety, or customers?
This isn't really about google search results. The underlying playbook is the same one that has been used by vulture capitalists for quite some time now. Find a company with some value, buy it, extract the value into cash for the hedge fund, screw the employees and the public, move on to the next target. Look at what Alden Global has been doing to newspapers for years, and more recently Greyhound bus terminals. Gordon Gecko was a character in a movie, but based on all-too-real people and behaviors.
Indeed, a scientist should have some exposure to experimentation. Experiments don't always work on the first try, and often require some knowledge and skill.
The ones who can't solder go into electrical engineering and sit at a computer terminal all day. (joking of course)
