Who didn’t see this coming? Next step. California Takes it over.
Newsome will take control of the utility and then California will go dark........................
Turn off the power and sell off your equipment then blame the State ,LOL
In progressive California, even the widows and orphans get screwed.
Coming soon: Rate hikes!
So, on top of radical socialist Newsom and all his freebie giveaways, we are now going to see our already sky-high utility prices zoom to the stratosphere.
The one-two Newsom / PG&E punch is going to really make more people think about leaving the (former) Golden State.
And that hispanic female named Geisha something or other just upped and quit with no official explanation (although we all know why).
Not even the obligatory “Need to spend more time with the family”.
Waiting for the lawsuit over the 15 days notice to employees before entering bankruptcy for a publicly traded company. This seems like a conflict between federal and state law.
They learned in the Erin Brockovich thing thirty years ago that no jury in California would ever vote to acquit them. May as well hand the keys to Sacramento.
PG&E statement re: reorganization.
Since PG&E was hooked into a country-wide electric grid, in a way we are ALL responsible for the fires, and must therefore share in the pain...
So pony up, America, or how else can I drive this new Tesla, or take a ride in the new bullet train you're buying me...
I know a few PCG employees who have (or had) a fair amount of their savings in the company stock. Very rough on them.
Sort of like a flu swhot or small pox vaccination
the bankruptcy prevents lawyers
Unfortunately they’ll still no matter what be selling leftist propaganda/indoctrination along with the electricity they are lawfully licensed to sell.
P.G.& E. should be selling electricity, not BS.
Shut it down and turn out out the lights in the cesspool that is now California. The state is who should be sued. They are responsible for the conditions that lead to these fires. There can numerous ignition sources. Not just power lines. The crime is that the state will not allow forest management.
Geisha Williams (Jimenez)
Affirmative Action CEO and complete incompetent, was making over $4mil per year.
She redirected money from Maintenance, and PG&E has an ENORMOUS Maint budget, to salary, benefits and operating profit.
She belongs in prison for negligent homicide, at least 100 counts.
And the board who appointed her should suffer the very same fate.
Well, the b!tch is leaving with the “oblgiagory “$hitload of cash!”
“Early life
She was born Geisha J. Jimenez in Cuba. At the age of five, Geisha immigrated to the US with her parents, after her father, a political prisoner, was released from prison. Her father worked various jobs to provide for his family and went on to own their own grocery store.
She has a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from the University of Miami and an MBA from Nova Southeastern University.”
Oh well, at least she’s not a Harvard MBA!
I imagine 90% or more of PG & E customers are democrats. So, it’s a hard thing to do for some of us in fly over country to suppress a big fu to PG & E “Democrat” PG & E customers.
This is because INSANE LIBERAL FOREST MANAGEMENT POLICIES, designed, created and implemented by INSANE, RADICAL LIBERALS put in office by INSANE RADICAL ELECTED LIBERAL officials CAUSED these fires...……………………. NOT PG & E.
PG & E caused these fires like Smith & Wesson caused somebody to shoot themselves.
The ultimate irony is that some of the Democrats that voted for politicians who supported and implemented California Forest Management will be first in line at the courthouse to file their lawsuit.
So, to all the Democrats in California, millions of us in the Red states can’t wait for your electric bill to double or triple. I recently lived overseas where rates were fifty cents a kwh and that was when it worked!
Get Ready! And, OH!!……….guess what Trump will tell you when you line up at the Federal Government trough to cover these lawsuits?!
THe article is very uninformative about how their equipment causes wildfires. I speculate in part it is because they are not allowed to cut trees and clear brush near their equipment, and part because as a california utility they are probably spending all their money on stopping global warming and making sure customers with solar panels can sell power back to the grid.
I thought it was Trumps fault?
