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.
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.
Even now, in the last year, they have to do planned blackouts when it gets to windy, because of the risk of fire.
But PG&E was incompetent long before that. In 2010, they blew up the town of San Bruno, and barely got their wrist slapped.
