The Camp Fire in November, along with fires from the prior year, exposed PG+E to an estimated $30 billion or more in claims from blazes, hastening its January bankruptcy. Since then, the utility giant has been under pressure to better ensure that its equipment won’t spark fires. Earlier this year, PG+E said it would widen the scope of its power shutoffs to include high-transmission power lines, potentially impacting nearly 10 times the number of customers compared to an earlier plan.Of course, there will be new kinds of disappointments.

PG+E entered its second bankruptcy last year when it was threatened with $30 billion in damages from the horrific Camp Fire conflagration. Now it's determined never to cause anyone that kind of disappointment again:

I was reading that yesterday. I wonder who will be left in California by the time it's all said and done?
It should please the tree huggers, who will find the "alleys" cleared through the forests for the existing power lines no longer under threat of being widened.
It'll also please the purveyors of backup power generators, too, at least until the climatistas get after them for all those carbon emissions.

There was some information that PG E was involved in various Californian fires, or was used as a decoy setup for the real cause, which was weather engineered weapons.
They can do what they wish, I am busy cutting deadwood and removing squaw wood to enhance the fire buffer.
Two guys stood out in the aftermath of the Paradise fire- they saved their houses.
Two actions were critical- they each had a buffer zone cleared of deadwood and dry shrubs, debris etc, and they had generators so they could run the well pumps.
Thus they were able to eliminate the little hot spots before they grew.
