(07-29) 17:37 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal grand jury indicted Pacific Gas and Electric Co. on Tuesday on 16 new counts stemming from the San Bruno natural gas explosion, including a charge that the company lied when it denied it had an official policy of ignoring federal law requiring pipeline inspections. The bolstered indictment does not charge any individual PG&E employees with wrongdoing, but it vastly increases the financial penalty the company could face in connection with the September 2010 blast that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes. The company was originally charged in April with a dozen violations of the federal Pipeline Safety Act, punishable by a total of $6 million in fines.
