- applied_heat 2y agoThe management at the utility doesn’t want to be recognized for being a deficient operator that doesn’t meet standards, so they hire employees to ensure they are compliant A fine is a black eye for a utility where people pride themselves on the reliability of the service they provide
- aerostable_slug 2y agoIt also perverts incentives such that no utility will communicate perhaps helpful information to other utilities or government when said information can leave them liable for fines. Until there's some kind of hold-harmless agreement, the various industry & government security information sharing groups can only be of limited effectiveness.
