have to ask, are they just being used as a scapegoat?
Look up the status of the coupling that caused the camp fire and you’ll see that it very much isn’t, there are pictures of how worn the fucking thing was that they didn’t replace for something lime 80 years despite knowing it was in bad shape
They’re a monopoly that raises prices to cover the cost of the fires they caused through negligence
If you have a tinder-dry forest, yes, the most likely spark is going to be from a faulty electrical line. But sooner or later, that forest is going to burn
While our forest management isn’t perfect by any means, if PG&E had done basic line maintenance then multiple of the worst fires we’ve seen wouldn’t have happened.
And that’s on top of all the usual monopolistic horse shit they pull on us normally, they’re a shit company to begin with BEFORE you factor in the fire starting
