Probably somewhere between 60 and 200 million for the yearly lives lost. More than would mean the money is better spent on safety elsewhere such as better safety features on highways. Less than that, and spending on safety elsewhere becomes wasteful compared to spending on power infrastructure safety. The "value of a statistical life" has less to do with making thing whole in terms of not caring about deaths than it has to do with efficiently allocating safety spending. Then you have percentage of the yearly wildfires attributable to PG&E. So some percentage of let's say a couple billion in fire fighting per year, and maybe 10-50 billion in property lost. Anyway, the point is that it isn't a slippery slope discussion, and it isn't impossible to come up with an approximate number.
