Right now the estimate of damages is $15B and I doubt that includes the liability for all of the deaths. Something like 1000 are still unaccounted for. The fact is if PG&E goes bankrupt who provides gas/electric for California? One way or another, the ratepayers/taxpayers are going to end up paying for it. Will it be just California taxpayers or will we all get to share?

As I understand it, environmentalists who refuse to allow clearing of deadwood/brush, controlled burns, etc. are more to blame for this fiasco than PG&E, but they will suffer little or no consequences.
