PG&E is paying the penalty for obeying California State mandates and rules about trimming trees and protecting assets and the system.
LOL!
Yup. No electricity = no fires from power lines.
Easy-peasy.
When will the eco-fascists at Sierra Club and leftist politicians who supported these Nazis be charged with manslaughter?
So do they get sentenced to a halfway house as their headquarters?
“Part of the problem is the state made PG&E divert money from repair and safety to renewables. But PG&E had a lot of equipment that was in terrible condition and very risky.”
Horsecrap.
The problem is enormous forest floor fuel loads created by eco-fascists and leftist politicians. Even a child can understand that.
The State is Great!
That’ll drive up power costs!
The guys watching might not be 1st class linemen, and are learning proper procedures.
Please see my post #24.

You can put them out of business, pretty easily.
That may be what this is all about, a CA takeover of their business.
I don't care for PG & E, but government intrusion is usually worse.
The WIND started the fire.....
The Enviros never want trees rimmed near power lines.
In South Lake Tahoe in 2007, over 60 homes were burned down. The biggest factor? Tahoe Area Regional Planning (?) refused to let homeowners rake up the dead pine needles that blanketed the valley floor. In some places, the dead needles were actually over a foot deep. “SUCH NEEDLES ARE JUST NATURAL !” Property insurance was also sky high. Couldn’t cut low hanging branches, either.
After that, TARPA changed the rules. I don’t remember if THEY got sued over their refusal to let homeowners clean up their properties.
By the way, they deserve punishment. In 2010, they blew up the entire town of San Bruno through incompetence. “””
When politicians & homeowners insist on GAS LINES being buried in known earthquake country, you should expect a rupture sooner or later.
Wait until a really bad quake hits both SF & LA. How many will die in those subways/mass transit. ?????
