Clarification

Instapundit posts the following item:

PGE: Worst-case scenario, some could be without power for 10 days

As someone who has lived in OR and northern CA, I believe this headline could be misleading. PGE is Portland General Electric, PG&E is Pacific Gas & Electric. 

These are separate companies serving separate regions. The one in the news a lot over the last couple of years is PG&E, which serves CA and as far as I’m aware has no large power outages at present. The outage is in OR, PGE country.

These would be easy to confuse, I believe.
