Is there a jail big enough to house PG&E
Yeah, who’s going away?
Pacific Gas & Electric..
What an odd name to give a child.
He’s looking at a lot of years with these charges.
We were over the ridge...talked to some trapped in the center of town by radio during the fire. Nasty business all the way around.
I worked for a company that sold equipment to PGE.
Many years ago, they were a high quality organization.
But like a lot of things in California, things went downhill.
How does a CORPORATION plead guilty to manslaughter?
You can’t put a CORPORATION in jail.
But you CAN make a CORPORATION pay a sh*tload in fines to the govt.
That’s what this is all about.
Once PG&E goes to jail, how are utility consumers in California going to get electricity and natural gas? Seems like they could be in a “freeze in the dark” situation, adjusted for California’s weather.
And where are all the environmentalists that for years got California’s governors to not allow culling of brush and dead trees that exacerbated the wildfires. Oh, I know. Now they are off sounding the alarm about climate change flying all over the world in private jets for big climate change powows.
Then the state senate and assembly should plead guilty as well.
Sadly, you can't even do that. Any fine they get will be paid by their customers. (Us)
By the way, they deserve punishment. In 2010, they blew up the entire town of San Bruno through incompetence.
They should be put into receivership and the court should appoint a CEO.
EXactly they are the real guilty ones here not the power company
That would work for me.
Just heard on the radio that their sock rose today.
The Electric Chair for the corrupt PGE and their even more corrupt PUC “regulators” (a- missing money- grabbing wh@res). But alas, PGE would just impose another of their “discretionary power outages” and the chairs wouldn’t work. What a corrupt state Californication’s become!!!! Worse than communist Cuba or Iran or North Korea
They blew up an entire town in 2010.
Maybe they can make it a state run organization and hire Dennis Kuchinich as the head.
He was always the champion for “Cleveland Public Power” the joke of a municipal electric company up there.
What exactly did PG&E do to cause these fires?
If the state is going to blame PG&E for the wind slapping their wires together, then the state is full of sh*t.
