No way in hell is this true. This goes back to the 70’s and the damn tree huggers of which he was one. The rejection of logging as a management tool in our forests. The mandated green crap thrust on to PG&E and not allowing them to put their money where it was needed.
If you ever want to see how bad the left can screw up a state when they are in control long term with a super majority look no further than The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia.
This situation is the fault of the damn liberals making our forests deep with fuel for these super-fires.
True, Brown vetoed a Legislative biil a few years ago to allow PG&E to clear brush around around power lines. Plus you can than the Sierra Club for suing PG&E when they wanted to remove trees around power lines.
