to the judge to accept such a
proposal, an advisor to the
governor said.
“We welcome the gover-
nor’s and the state’s engage-
ment on these vital matters
and share the same goal of
fairly resolving the wildfire
claims and exiting the Chap-
ter 11 process as quickly as
possible,” James Noonan, a
spokesman for PG&E, said
in a statement. “PG&E is
committed to working with
all stakeholders to make the
necessary changes moving
forward to be the company
our customers and commu-
nities want and deserve.”
Newsom declined to offer
a timeline to resolve the ne-
gotiations before the state
would introduce its own pro-
posal.
“PG&E, as we know it,
may or may not be able to
figure this out,” Newsom
said. “If they cannot, we are
not going to sit around and
be passive. The final point I
want to make is, we are gam-
ing out a backup plan. If Pa-
cific Gas & Electric is unable
to secure its own fate and fu-
ture and work through the
process of getting people to-
gether and working to ad-
dress the needs of debt and
equity bondholders and law-
yers and victims and subro-
gation claims, then the state
will prepare itself as backup
for a scenario where we do
that job for them.”
Newsom said the state is
just beginning to scope out
its alternative restructuring
proposal and declined to say
whether a plan submitted to
the court would give the
state control over the utility.
“The scoping process is
complex and it is not helpful
at this stage to run down
that rabbit hole,” Newsom
said. “You’ll see that there
are many, many different
pathways, many doors,
down that and we’re scoping
all of that and we’ve made no
determination. This is the
backup plan if these guys
can’t get their act together.
But I would say in broad
strokes if you looked at an
ISO-like structure, that
would be a good place to
start.”
Created in 1996 as a non-
profit public benefit corpo-
ration, the California Inde-
pendent System Operator
runs much of the state’s elec-
tric grid. The governor ap-
points five members that
serve staggered terms on the
CAISO board of governors,
overseeing budgets, policies
and grid planning.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, a
San Mateo Democrat and
longtime critic of PG&E,
commended Newsom.
“California has told
PG&E many times, in many
ways, that the way it does
business is unacceptable
and it must change,” Hill
said. “Today, Gov. Newsom
told PG&E to get on with it
or get out of the way.”
The governor tapped his
cabinet secretary, Ana
Matosantos, to lead a new
team to focus on pulling
PG&E out of bankruptcy in
a way that ensures fire vic-
tims are justly compensated
for their loses. The team
would also develop a plan for
a new utility that makes
safety paramount.
Matosantos served as a
budget director to former
Govs. Arnold Schwarzeneg-
ger and Jerry Brown, win-
ning praise for overseeing ef-
forts by both governors to
dig the state out of its deep
fiscal crisis in the wake of the
Great Recession.
Before joining Newsom’s
administration, she worked
on the federal commission
former President Obama
created to monitor the fiscal
crisis of Puerto Rico. As the
governor’s cabinet secre-
tary, she has had a hand in
almost every one of New-
som’s policy efforts during
his first year in office, an ad-
visor with perhaps the most
experience in how Sacra-
mento works.
Newsom’s announce-
ment Friday comes after he
hammered PG&E during a
tour of areas of the state af-
fected by wildfires and
power shutoffs. The gover-
nor has repeatedly criticized
the company for failing to in-
vest in safety upgrades and
for applying the intentional
power outages too broadly.
Times staff writers Phil
Willon and John Myers
contributed to this report.
Newsom calls for deal
in PG&E bankruptcy
[PG&E,from B1]
just devastating to see the
destruction there and the
houses that were gone and
people telling stories, hor-
rible stories,” she said.
“Of course, wildfires are a
natural part of the ecosys-
tem here, but they are being
intensified with the climate
crisis and it will continue to
get worse,” she added.
The hourlong march be-
gan around noon, drums
beating as the demon-
strators raised their fists
and carried hand-drawn
signs through the streets of
downtown. Although there
were no official estimates,
organizers said about 3,
people attended Friday’s
rally.
“Keep it in the soil,” they
said, demanding “climate
justice” and vowing to use
the power of social media,
public protest — and some-
day, the ballot box — to oust
politicians who do not move
swiftly to phase out fossil fu-
els.
“I’m here because we de-
serve a future,” said Jasmine
Madlener, 16, who came from
south Orange County to
support Thunberg. “We
need as many people as pos-
sible. Politicians need to
know that we will have the
numbers to vote them out.”
Thunberg was the final
keynote speaker at Friday’s
rally.
“Right now we are living
in the beginning of a climate
and ecological breakdown.
And we cannot continue to
look away from this crisis
anymore,” Thunberg told
the crowd outside City Hall.
“We young people have had
enough. We say no more.
And if our parents won’t
speak up for us, then we
will.”
The demonstration is the
latest action by the youth cli-
mate movement, which has
organized students across
the globe in coordinated
school strikes on Fridays to
demand action.
“We’re not going to stop
striking until they start lis-
tening to us,” said Chandini
Brennan Agarwal, 16, a 10th-
grader at New West Charter
School on L.A.’s Westside
and one of the strike organ-
izers. “Even though our fo-
cus this time is oil wells in
California, we’re still trying
to send a message about the
climate crisis to politicians
worldwide.”
Several local activists
also took to the stage to
speak of their experiences
living in the shadow of fossil
fuel industries in some of
L.A.’s most polluted com-
munities, where residents
have long fought for clean air
and environmental justice.
“We have oil drilling right
next to our homes, we have
oil refineries,” said Nizgui
Gomez, a 17-year-old from
Wilmington and a first-year
student at Santa Monica
College. “Yeah, we are mak-
ing little changes, but that’s
not enough.”
The demonstration
comes after the U.N. climate
summit in September failed
to deliver the bold action de-
manded by young people.
None of the world’s biggest
nations made new commit-
ments to cut emissions, an
outcome that served only to
galvanize the youth move-
ment’s mission.
Since the summit, Thun-
berg has made her way
across the U.S. and Canada,
participating in strikes in
different cities. This week,
she made headlines by de-
clining an international en-
vironmental award, saying
“the climate movement does
not need any more prizes.”
During her journey,
Thunberg found inspiration
in meeting with indigenous
leaders and said she was ex-
cited to meet other young
climate activists.
“I don’t get hopeful by
meeting politicians and peo-
ple in power, business lead-
ers,” she told The Times.
“Because they always say
the same thing over and over
again. What does make me
hopeful is the people. To see
that people are kind, people
want to do good.”
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti
issued a statement welcom-
ing Thunberg and other
youth activists to City Hall.
“The students lifting their
voices know the future be-
longs to them — and this is a
moment for leaders to listen
to their call,” the mayor said.
Vicky Waters, a spokes-
woman for Newsom, said the
governor applauded Thun-
berg and other youth activ-
ists “who are forcing global
attention onto these issues.”
“Where national politi-
cians fail, the youth stand
up, and are joined by state
and local governments in
taking action,” Waters said
in a statement. “Greta, we
hear you, California is com-
mitted to decarbonizing our
economy while creating in-
clusive growth, not an ei-
ther-or, but a yes-and.”
The next climate strike is
scheduled for Dec. 6.
