Engineering360: "PG&E plans Chapter 11 as it eyes possible fire liabilities"

It seems foolish to attack your power supplier for a naturally occurring incident....Wildfires are a fact of life in California...homeowners bear the responsibility to protect their residence from harm, whether that be through legislation, or personal actions to mitigate the situation....blaming somebody else will not correct the problem, and weakens the state as a whole...California is becoming a third world country....

It's a strange time we live in where you can sue your electric utility out of existence.
So, back to the stone age? No electricity?
Thankfully, I have solar panels...

If they were negligent, that would be one thing, but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

There are scummy lawyers who hope to profit from this tragedy by claiming the utility should have known that the weather conditions were going to cause damage to their system that could reasonably be expected to start a fire so therefore the utility should have plunged their customers into darkness prior to the storm.

So if these lawyers are successful, utilities will be incentivized to cut power before a weather event occurs to protect themselves from liability.
