The school district was thrilled to get the PDP. Then they had PG&E set
up the power for it. Some PG&E technicians did not know the difference
between "Delta" and "Wye"/"Y" three phase! Seriously dsmaged the
machine.
Typical.
PG&E bought a replacement machine for the school district, on the
condition that all involved go along with a false story that it had been a
lighning strike!
Ha! PG&E has always been involved in shady shit, but I never suspected
insurance fraud.
Not necessarily insurance fraud, although certainly very possibly.
An alternative would be that the school district would have filed a
lawsuit, and PG&E would have been forced to do it.
By voluntarily doing it, they avoid the lawsuit, avoid losing face, and
setting MORE precedents for losing more lawsuits, and get some good tax
dedustions. PG&E's lawyers know how to put a good spin on what they would
have ended up having to do, anyway.
