In the case of the San Bruno fire is PG&E trying to duck, dodge, and hide?

Of course they are. They stand to lose millions!

Well, it hardly seems that they are dodging responsibility.

As to your cynicism about where the money will come from, that is natural.

Unfortunate accidents happen, nothing is foolproof.

Quite frankly, with the amount of natural gas being used in this country it is a wonder this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often.

I am sure that more than a few of these homeowners are drooling at the potential to sue and entertaining fantasies of huge settlements far and beyond the true value lost.

I don’t think PG&E is responsable for more than the original loss these families are coping with.

Way to turn the first two posts in a new thread into a potential flame war. : /

I am cynical about where the money comes from because history has shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that, where money and/or sex are concerned, people will lie, cheat, steal, and rob.

@CaptainHarley I was referring to the questioner’s cynicism as expressed by “And who thinks they will take the cost of the clean up and/or cost of all the claims onto the rest of the customers?” Also, I said that their cynicism was natural. I did not disagree with it.

@marinelife OOps! My bad then. Sorry!

But I am still cynical about where the money comes from because history has shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that, where money and/or sex are concerned, people will lie, cheat, steal, and rob.
