- chuckadams 3y agoI agree in principle, but it's also sitting right next to several fault lines. PG&E claims it's engineered to withstand quakes, but given PG&E's history, I'm not inclined to take them at their word on anything.
- ChadNauseam 3y agoIs there a government body who examines these claims that we could trust instead?
- chuckadams 3y agoThat would be the CPUC, which is apparently siding with PG&E. I can actually see CPUC's side here, there really aren't any good alternatives that are ready to go in any reasonable timeframe, but I do hope they're actually doing some independent verification of PG&E's claims.
- kelnos 3y agoThe CPUC is so completely captured by PG&E that I don't really trust much of what they say when they agree with PG&E on things. That's not to say that they aren't correct, but I refuse to give them any kind of blanket trust.
