Oh, the Cheeto blamed it on the forest control?? What an ill in formed twit.
Of course if PG&E (and SoCal Edison and SDG&E) would do regular maintenance and make sure everything is up to spec, we wouldnât have near the fire issues we do. The big fires in San Diego in 2007 were caused by malfunctioning SDG&E equipment that they were well aware of. When the state and county sued them for damages they tried to pass that cost onto their customers. There was a lawsuit and the judge told SDG&E to pound sand.
PG&E has upped their maintenance schedules since last yearâs big fires. No one is going to be happy about the measures that PG&E is going to have to take, because itâs going to mean utility bills are going to go up. I agree that they need to make sure that the equipment is better maintained, but itâs going to cause some hardship for people to pay the raised rates. Itâs a no win situation from what I see. 
Or they could take some of those fat shareholder payouts and use it for good instead.

There is no way in hell that would ever happen.
The fires reached the Paramount Ranch and burned down the Western Town in Westworld.
56 dead, 103 still missing.
Man i wish the counts for both where 0.
Jesus. And itâs only what, 30% contained?
Shareholders is what is wrong in this world today. The customer is the most important, not the fatcat CEO or fatcat shareholder.

Preaching to the choir there. Iâm not saying there shouldnât be shareholders because you need people to invest in your company. I just donât think they should be priority one.

This sucks. Death count is up to 63, and the fire is 45% contained.
At risk of totally derailing the conversation, as a person with a 401k, Iâm a shareholder. As is anyone with a pension. Shareholder and Fat Cat are very seldom equal anymore.
And back on topic, as far as I can tell Trump is quoting the Californiaâs own investigation from 2017,and multiple errors analysisesises⌠analysi?
Iâve heard articles complaining about the lack of proper forest management in California as long as I can remember. I know there are other contributing factors as well.
And now itâs raining. Good to help put out the fires and stop the spread, but now weâre getting flash flood warnings and search for remains is going to be much harder now.
