I’m quite familiar with the Bluebonnet litigation after the Bastrop fire, including the evidence of causation from power lines. Bluebonnet’s OWN INVESTIGATION reached that conclusion, as well as the conclusion that its tree-trimming contractor had failed to do the job it was hired to do. You’re outta your lane on this one. And yes, other than flat-out clearing all ROW of all vegetation that can grow tall, there’s always some risk (shit, no matter what you do, there’s SOME risk - a tornado can take out any infrastructure). We’re not talking about the cases where a utility indeed did all it reasonably could do, so don’t conflate the two scenarios. In the current case, the EARLY evidence, apparently confirmed by Excel, is that a pole that was a known failure risk failed, allowing lines to spark a fire (lose tension, loose lines can spark a fire). If that’s what happened…it shouldn’t have happened.
