Pacific Gas and Electric, for a very long time, knowingly skimped on maintenance and upgrades for their power grid in order to divert the cash to executive bonuses and shareholder profits (all their execs are probably shareholders).
In addition, their grid has not been designed to isolate danger areas of limited scope. Since they can only shut down very large areas, this makes a whole lot of people very pissed off at them, which brings political problems.
PG&E is between a rock and a hard place, both of their own making.
I predict extra large bonuses for PG&E executives this year to cover "emotional stress".
