I see you are ignorant in all the things you post about.
Of course they would love immunity. The state won’t give it to them. So the state gets blackouts during Santa Anas. You want them to “improve their equipment”. They have to string lines across mountains and deserts in order to bring electricity to rural areas and isolated cabins. If they have to make them impervious to high winds, at all times, then they have to spend billions. Are you or the state regulators going to agree to their rate increases in order to pay for that???? Or might it make sense for the state to subsidize the provision of infrastructure for those areas if it wants them upgraded?
Those are the issues. But as long as they have to keep rates low, provide coverage over all terrain in a large territory, and have liability for fires started by high winds, then you are guaranteed that they will use blackouts as a preventive measure.
Stay stupid, my friend.
Speaking of stupid, you are obviously unaware that we already subsidize the electric utilities with the HIGHEST rates in the country. To describe the current rates as LIw just demonstrates your utter ignorance of California utility practices. The utility is at fault by failing to greet trim as required by law so fires start in winds. Duh. Regulators don’t need to raise rates to get them to do what they are already required to accomplish. Instead they paid exorbitant salaries and benefits, and shareholder profits. They are a public utility, not a for profit corporation. Learn the difference before you shoot your mouth off.
You obviously don’t believe in holding people or companies responsible for their actions and believe that we should give people a pass for their bad Choices. Are you sure you’re in the right site. Your philosophy is much more in line with the far left wing democrat philosophy. People aren’t responsible for their actions, society is. That is your idiotic position. The utilities aren’t responsible for their illegal conduct, the ratepayers are.
As far as ignorance goes, rocket scientist, I will put my doctorate up against yours any time. The boys at the manure plant may think they are brilliant but in fact they are not. You have no apparent reason to shout out your arrogance and pomposity.
