Sierra Club prohibited PG&E from managing vegetation near their power lines.

So why is PG&E just lying down and taking this?

Are their principals and shareholders such self-loathing, guilt-ridden econuts, that they're willing to commit corporate suicide in the name of saving da planet?

Should they sue ‘sierra club’ and the ‘nrdc’ and all the other goronic ecowankers out there? Works for me.

Easily preventable. Just shut off the electricity on windy days.

You have tree huggers blocking the clearing of trees and brush by the power lines. Now after the fire there are no trees or brush or homes because of their stupidity.

California will have to take over PG&E. The state will take control out of Bankruptcy. The liability to the company is too great. You can sue PG&E but can’t sue the state.

That way none of the sprinkler systems will have water pressure because its all pumped with electric pumps, and when a fire does start and you have no power then you also have no water to fight it with. Great plan.
Burn it all down and start over, using the same plan.
Insanity.

It’s California - where actions don’t have consequences.
