Edison International and Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. are trying to knock a hole in a California law that could put them on the hook for billions of dollars in damages for the worst wildfires in state history even if they did nothing wrong.The owners of California's two biggest utilities are going to court to limit their liability for a pair of smaller fires from 2015. Wins in those cases could shield them from massive payouts over the record-setting blazes last year outside Los Angeles and San Francisco.The companies are in a bind the likes of which they've never faced-and which they contend is fundamentally unfair.
