PG&E Nears End Of Bankruptcy Amid Persisting Safety Worries

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) – Pacific Gas & Electric limped into bankruptcy vilified for its long-running neglect of a crumbling electrical grid that ignited horrific Northern California wildfires that left entire cities in ruins. It’s unclear if PG&E is now any better equipped to protect the 16 million people who rely on it for power, even after nearly a year-and-a-half in bankruptcy court. The drama is scheduled to enter its final act Wednesday during a trial examining its $58 billion plan to get out of bankruptcy. The outcome will affect a sprawling service territory that spans from San Francisco to wine country, Yosemite and Silicon Valley’s technology hub.
