“”””...its proposal fails to meet the requirements of a recently enacted wildfire

WTH does this mean? “”””””””””””

I think it means ORANGE MAN BAD or something.

Higher utility rates and higher taxes are coming. They already have the highest rates in the country. It will drive more industry out of the state.

It seems to me that PG&E is a public utility, ie there are owners / share holders. How does Knew-some exert this sort of dictatorial power over the rightful owners of a recognized financial entity?

Yep. But if the state does take over PG&E, watch how quickly the news reports will change. Instead of blaming PG&E management, the media will say that the wildfires and power outages are all due to unavoidable climate change.

The fires were caused by homeless people, Islamists who openly declared so, commercial trucks etc.

P&G is just the private money bags to shift utilities to the incompetent State. Blackouts forever.

He has a (D) after his name, and the 9th district has his back.

Sounds like the same “deal” Stalin offered to Ukrainian farmers.

the bankruptcy court will listen to this politician given his election as governor, but the decision is still with the court...
if Newsom has included a practical means for PGE to comply with his demands, then the court may well go along with him

if Newsom has only shot off demands with no way for PGE to comply with him, then the court may well decline the demands

The article as it is now has "recently enacted wildfire law."

I don't know if it is a cut and paste error in the excerpt or a now fixed typo at Reuters.

South Africa’s power systems are doing so well, too, after kicking whitey out.

PG&E should just hand over everything to CA and watch the results. After all, CA is the Venezuela of the future, so why not just speed things up?

Those of us on the sane side of the country can reenter and start anew after the Big One finishes things off.

“....the 9th district has his back.”

Not any more since Trump replaced a few of them for a conservative majority. Besides if PG&E pulls the plug, he’ll have to go back to candles real quick and do all his paperwork without computers. He’ll get the opportunity to act like Lincoln 140 years ago. Maybe he’ll reconsider his strong arms tactic when it bites him on the arse.

The political risk for any company whose primary service area is California is extreme.

Not long before PG&E throws up their hands and walks away. Then Newsom will seize and nationalize the electric system and electrical blackouts will become the Venezuelan way of life. Fascinating how liberal evolution works.

And how many shareholders would get hammered as a result of that?
