Two San Francisco supervisors are calling on Gov. Newsom to withhold PG&E’s safety certificate.
Two San Francisco supervisors are calling on California Gov. Gavin Newsom to withhold PG&E's safety certificate.
The safety certificate is the authorization that allows the utility to use rate payer funds to pay for its role in recent wildfires that have killed dozens of people and caused billions of dollars in damage. The proposed resolution from supervisors Connie Chan and Shamann Walton asks Newsom to revoke what they call PG&E's license to burn and instead fund Golden State Energy. If approved, it would replace PG&E.
"It’s important to highlight that when there’s more wildfires caused by PG&E, we’re on the hook to pay for it," said Jessica Tovar with Local Clean Energy Alliance."And so what we really need is to hold PG&E accountable and also address that we need a better energy system that’s safer, more reliable, clean and also that is more affordable."
