Pacific Gas and Electric Company has sparked some of the state’s deadliest wildfires. The utility pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter after the 2018 Camp Fire. It faces felony charges in connection with the 2019 Kincade Fire in Sonoma County. And it is also under criminal investigation for last September s Zogg Fire in Shasta County, a blaze ignited by a power line that killed four people.
That record led a federal judge earlier this year to declare that PG&E has been a terror T-E-R-R-O-R to the people of California.”
