boom3 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is a colossal error of jurisprudence. PG&E needs that money to secure its infrastructure, and as we all know, the lawyers will get the lion's share and the victims of the fires will get crumbs. I have driven the hill country of CA many times, and marveled at how the electrical grid was installed in that terrain. It will take a massive, ongoing effort to send people out to those transmission towers and substations and keep the brush trimmed back and the switchgear in good working order. Yep, PG&E was negligent, but I doubt any electric utility in the US is any better. A better verdict would be to give the victims direct one-time payments (not via class action "settlement" that mainly benefits lawyers) and force PG&E to spend more money on housekeeping.

JJkizak Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Another slightly mundane fact of all of us wanting cheaper electric bills causing the electric companies to cut back to the bone doesn't help either. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
