With the state taking over, does
a California citizen have the right
to sue the state if their home
burns down due to fires caused by
the states’ newly aquired power
grid?
I highly doubt the state will
be able to prevent the wildfires
any more than PG&E could. Acts
of god are beyond man’s control.
The enviro wackos caused this
dilemma. I don’t hear anything
about other states battling
massive wildfires due to lightning
strikes on unmaintained sections
of a utilities’ rights of way.
Almost all other utilities
recognise the problems associated
with massive amounts of underbrush
which is allowed to accumulate
in areas where fire might be a
risk.
What you don’t understand is that the good people of California have been paying for surcharges for decades that the PUC has rubberstamped with the Democrat’s total approval. The money has not been used for what it was supposed to pay for.
The San Bruno pipeline explosion that blew up a neighborhood in the SF Bay area and killed numerous people? PG & E knew about it long before it happened and was charging all of its customers ( with CA PUC approval ) another surcharge to pay for its repair. Too bad that it never was repaired and all those people had their homes blown to smithereens and or died in the explosion.
