This despite the fact that SoCalGas still hasn’t released an analysis of what caused the blowout and still has no new mitigation methods it can use if there is another one. They are also trying to get all their liability costs covered by their insurers, even though there was a ‘new’ technology that could have ended the disaster much more quickly and they were informed of this new technology early on, but simply chose to ignore it. That new technology is called Quantum_|_Quench(TM) and its announcement was even covered in Claims Journal back in 2013 (at least they saw the potential value of something like that). Which also raises the question: Could SoCalGas now be engaged in insurance fraud if there was a way to minimize further harm and damage from being done after the initial accident, but they ignored that possibility? Could they have done more to end the disaster more quickly, and if so, why didn’t they do it? Was it precisely because they had insurance that they assumed would cover their losses (including the loss gas that cost more at the time of storage)?
