PG&E says it has reached an $11 billion settlement with insurance companies for claims stemming from last year's Camp Fire and 2017 wildfires in northern California

A statement from the company Friday said the settlement covers 85% of the claims."Today's settlement is another step in doing what's right for the communities, businesses, and individuals affected by the devastating wildfires," said Bill Johnson, CEO and president of PG&E Corporation.

Most of the funds are related to last year's Camp Fire in Northern California that killed 85 people and destroyed thousands of homes. The hardest-hit town of Paradise, which was left in charred ruins, will get $270 million to resolve wildfire claims.

How does a public utility have 11B to pay out? Explain this...they charge for a service and burn your house and the pay you back? Don’t rates go up and you pay double?

Didn’t Climate change cause this fire?

The problem with this $11B settlement is that rate payers will end up footing the bill... you know, people who had nothing to do with the fire.

Why should anyone get any money? realDonaldTrump said the fires were spread due to improper sweeping & raking of the forests.
