  • Resumen

  • Embark on a harrowing journey through the smoldering consequences of utility mismanagement as Wall Street Journal's Catherine Blunt exposes the stark reality behind California's wildfires. In her eye-opening book, "California Burning," Catherine artfully dissects the catastrophic intersection of natural disasters and the energy sector's aging infrastructure, revealing how the negligence of companies like Pacific Gas and Electric has sparked more than just flames—it's ignited a legal inferno.

    With Catherine's expert guidance, we traverse the charred landscapes of Oregon, Maui, and Texas, where utility companies are facing the music—with tune of millions in legal recompense. The conversation takes a turn from tragedy to prevention, as we discuss the urgent adoption of wildfire mitigation strategies such as vegetation management and infrastructure upgrades. This episode isn't just a recount of past disasters; it's a clarion call to utility companies nationwide, demonstrating that without immediate and decisive action, the next headline tragedy could be just a spark away.
