A federal judge sentenced PG&E Thursday to a $3 million fine, court-appointed oversight of its gas system and five years of probation. In August, PG&E was convicted of violating federal pipeline safety regulations and obstructing a National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion that killed 8 people. The fine and the probation length were both the maximum allowed. We’ll discuss what the sentence means for PG&E and pipeline safety.
