California regulator to probe whether utility companies broke rules... by keeping their power on and causing fires
damned if you do, damned if you don’t
OMG.....Not THE RULES!!!!!!
As sung off-key by GangGreen and Governor Nusiance..
CaliCommie takeover of PG&E in 3, 2, 1
Fire Regime Condition Class.
Look it up.

Spotted Owl could be called to testify?
You beat me to it!
When do they Impeach PG+E?
I’m here in Marin County and powers been off for four days and they say it’s going to be off till Halloween now of course all the businesses are suffering and can’t open so there’s lost revenue right there PG&E isn’t getting any money out of any of these homes or businesses because nobody’s using electricity so there’s a lot of harm caused by the power being completely out for a week
There’s a number of people that have generators that I’ve noticed riding around on my bicycle and the police to set up a place for people to go charge your cell phones and There’s a number of people that have generators that I’ve noticed riding around on my bicycle and the police to set up a place for people to go charge your cell phones and it’s a complete zoo with everybody standing around waiting for p
Let's start with how much PG&E loses per hour in mandatory payment to 'renewable energy sources' which they're required to buy if they need them or not. That's now hovering in the tens of millions. Plus the liability for expired food if the power is out for more than 48 hours. Plus liability for the cadre of lawyers seeking to do a class action lawsuit for PG&E shutting off the power.
Next how did they acquire this 30 billion in liabilities? From the inverse condemnation law that California passed that makes the utility WHOLLY liable for any damages if any part of the cause can be linked to them. Would the Camp fire still have consumed Paradise if it was started by a weed eater? You betcha. It was an oil soaked pile of rags waiting for a spark as the Butte County Grand Jury appropriately found in 2008 when CalFire pulled off a miracle in keeping the town from being consumed. After that fire, they reduced the main evacuation route for 80,000 people from two lanes each direction to one lane to 'calm traffic.'
But hey, California also passed laws requiring investor owned utilities to shut off power if the wind was predicted to be over 35 mph and they could not guarantee compliance with still evolving regulations as to brush and tree clearance near lines. Since they don't even know what the regulation will eventually say (and likely will continue to evolve over the next 10 years,) we can expect 12-15 years of these outages to continue.
Revenge by the utility is not the motive here, everything is to shift blame from decades of mismanagement, neglect and poor decisions from civil authorities to the evil megacorps of PG&E, SDPG&E and SCE. (Of course, CALPers (state employee retirement funds...) carefully divested themselves of all three of these investor owned utilities prior to the reverse condemnation laws taking effect...)

Shut off the power...sorry...outta buziness....get electrons yourself...ya lazy dufusses
Gavin....emperor norton....newsom...uncanny similar behaviour and decisions.
Catch 22 laws, rules & regulations .... California normal.
Were the lights out at the Capitol? Hopefully Gruesome Newsome didn’t have power but I’m sure that’s taken care of with generators etc. Too bad. The man leads in the dark, he may as well sit in the dark.
