This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 Pacific Gas and Electric Co. was indicted Tuesday on 12 federal criminal counts related to the 2010 gas pipeline explosion that leveled a San Bruno neighborhood and killed eight people, including allegations that it did not conduct required inspections that could have prevented the disaster. The indictment says the utility repeatedly violated the federal Pipeline Safety Act, which mandates that operators maintain accurate records about their gas pipes, identify risks to lines and inspect or test when pipe pressures exceed the legal maximum. Rather than follow the law, PG&E "knowingly relied on erroneous and incomplete information" in avoiding the type of inspections that could have exposed a badly manufactured seam weld on the gas transmission line and saved San Bruno from disaster, the indictment says. In the 54 years that the weld lurked in the … [Read more...] about PG&E indicted on 12 criminal charges in San Bruno blast case

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 PAJARO, Monterey County — For nearly a week, Diego Garcia stayed at home in this farmworker community with his mother and three siblings — refusing to evacuate even as the water from the levee break flooded the street outside their apartment. The family couldn’t afford to pay for a hotel or another place to stay. But as the flood soaked the fields where Garcia’s mother picks strawberries, Garcia, 18, knew he had to leave his family and return to school and work in Watsonville. So the high school junior grabbed some clothes and drove past the police stationed at Pajaro River Bridge, tasked with keeping people out of Pajaro. Since he left three days ago, Garcia has returned to his high school, worked after school at a butcher’s shop and applied for a job at a local pizza shop. At night, he sleeps in his car at a park in Watsonville. “It’s hard,” Garcia said. “No one is going to have money … [Read more...] about Flooded out but resilient: Pajaro residents who stayed behind face mounting challenges

By Ella Nilsen , CNN Updated 0902 GMT (1702 HKT) February 4, 2023 Kingman, Arizona (CNN) Driving along county roads that are little more than dirt paths, Tim Walsh remarked that the expansive valley below the Long Mountain range used to be no more than tumbleweeds and scraggly cactuses. Now, it's pistachio trees as far as the eye can see. Far from mature, the pistachio saplings are just a few feet tall. The trees were planted for "miles and miles, clear up to the base of the mountain," said Walsh, a lifelong Kingman resident and head of Mohave County's Department of Development Services. Over the past decade, the vast desert area around the 33,000-person city of Kingman has been transformed into an agricultural enclave. Green alfalfa fields were first planted below the mountains, then eventually replaced with thirsty pistachio trees. But as those farms grow, county and city officials fear the groundwater -- their only source of water -- is not capable of supporting … [Read more...] about In deep-red corner of Arizona, threat of losing water starts to outweigh fear of regulation

In a surprise filing last month, U.S. Attorney David Weiss issued a "statement of interest" in the case on behalf of the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), invoking a rarely-used early 1900s law to argue that the federal government should take on any liability for patent infringement Moderna may be guilty of related to the development of its COVID-19 vaccine .

One section contains an incomplete seam weld, which held for 54 years before rupturing in September 2010, leading to the pipe's explosion. 1968: Congress passes a law imposing federal regulation on gas pipelines, but includes a loophole that would contribute to the San Bruno disaster 42 years later - a grandfathering provision that allows PG&E and other pipeline operators to skip pressure tests that would have discovered the defective weld that eventually ruptured. 1988: PG&E crews replace 12 feet of Line 132 after a … [Read more...] about PG&E’s pipeline problems through the decades
