Ask yourself, what does the law incentivize in a situation like this?
I'm not saying that PG&E is not to blame...it may well be that they've done a bad job but it's not black & white. I feel like the opinions you outlined above reflect the public narrative… that PG&E are the devil and 100% to blame for everything when the fires were caused by multiple factors…i.e. PG&E equipment, weather conditions, fire service etc. Public narrative is a gross oversimplification and those in a position of power control that narrative (i.e. the politicians).
