Elsewhere in the thread somebody linked to the court order (http://s1.q4cdn.com/880135780/files/doc_downloads/2019/Alsup-PGE-01.09.19.pdf http://s1.q4cdn.com/880135780/files/doc_downloads/2019/Alsup...), and I don't see how this explanation can possibly be correct.
In particular, (a) PG&E has a history of falsifying inspection reports, (b) PG&E must keep power lines clear of trees, (c) the power lines can't arc during high winds, (d) because of the history of falsified inspections PG&E must re-inspect things. These terms don't seem particularly onerous, especially with respect to making power lines safe during high winds---I assume that's the sort of thing every energy company does already anyway. In particular, what do you mean, in this context, when you say "best-in-class industry practises"?
- Blackstone4 7y agoNote I said, "if". I was refering to the law and what would be the implications even if they maintain best-in-class industry practises. This wasn't so much a statement about PG&E as it was about CA law.
