Show Notes
Oregon jury orders PacifiCorp to pay $305M to wildfire victims, marking a significant win in a class-action lawsuit stemming from the utilitys failure to shut off power during high winds despite fire warnings. The company is appealing a previous $1B ruling and faces thousands of trials in 2026 and 2027. The 2020 fires, which PacifiCorp denies starting, killed 11 people, burned 1,560 square miles, and destroyed thousands of homes.
