His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

That’s how a baby otter named Langly ended up in the center’s care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sharks mistake otters for their more preferred prey of seals and sea lions. And unfortunately many of these attacks end in a fatality for the otter,” said Dr. Cara Field, staff veterinarian at the center, which is located in Sausalito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langly was found on a beach in San Luis Obispo County in May of last year. Her mother had been bitten by a shark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So when the mom stranded, Langly was found clinging to her, but was still alive and actually in pretty good shape. So the mother actually died during the course of being rescued, and we had this little pup who was not quite ready to be on her own yet,” Field said. “So we were able to take her in and get her fed up, and slowly help her grow and start to learn how to forage and be an independent sea otter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langly even made the list of contenders for The Marine Mammal Center’s prestigious 2018 Patient of the Year award:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TMMC/status/1088850240294322178\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While in rehabilitation, Langly bonded with another stranded young otter named Sprout, who had been rescued off Del Monte Beach in Monterey by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey Bay Aquarium\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, both were loaded onto a boat in crates and taken back to the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to be going to a kelp bed off along \u003ca href=\"https://canneryrow.com/our-story/john-steinbeck/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cannery Row\u003c/a>. That’s kind of just out there sort of the northwest side of the harbor,” said Karl Mayer, as he drove the boat. He’s the sea otter field response coordinator for the aquarium. After the crate doors opened, both otters dove into Monterey Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sprout and Langly are tagged and have tracking devices, each programmed to a specific frequency.

And unfortunately many of these attacks end in a fatality for the otter,” said Dr. Cara Field, staff veterinarian at the center, which is located in Sausalito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langly was found on a beach in San Luis Obispo County in May of last year. Her mother had been bitten by a shark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So when the mom stranded, Langly was found clinging to her, but was still alive and actually in pretty good shape. So the mother actually died during the course of being rescued, and we had this little pup who was not quite ready to be on her own yet,” Field said. “So we were able to take her in and get her fed up, and slowly help her grow and start to learn how to forage and be an independent sea otter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langly even made the list of contenders for The Marine Mammal Center’s prestigious 2018 Patient of the Year award:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Even if you don't directly get power from PG&E, this is a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is one of the largest utilities in the United States, powering the homes and businesses of about 16 million Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bankruptcy will affect electricity rates, the state's renewable energy goals and wildfire lawsuits. It could very well change the kinds of utilities we have in Northern California. It's also going to be a very long and complicated process, so don't expect anything to change quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So my power isn't getting shut off?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10587095\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nope! The lights will stay on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E filed what's known as a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That means that it wants to reorganize the company and get rid of some debts; it's the same kind of bankruptcy that the utility filed for in 2001. And just like then, we should expect some version of PG&E to emerge from bankruptcy in several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might remember the blackouts and brownouts of the 2001 energy crisis. This bankruptcy is very different. PG&E has access to the electricity it needs and customers should not see any kind of reduced service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility has 120 days to announce how it wants to reorganize. There's been a lot of talk about how the utility could sell off its \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/04/677832387/devastating-wildfires-force-californias-largest-utility-to-plan-sale-of-gas-asse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gas division\u003c/a> or even parts of its energy grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also lots of laws and agencies that exist to ensure that you will still get safe and reliable power. These agencies are part of the bankruptcy proceeding, and PG&E can't make any changes to how it delivers power without their signoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is anyone winning from this?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-1095654954-e1548738691357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1260\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11721848\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A traffic cone sits next to a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) truck on Jan. 17, 2019 in Fairfax, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yes. There are potentially three big winners: PG&E, big banks and lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is for a company to reorganize and get rid of debt so that it can emerge from bankruptcy as a healthy company. PG&E emerged from its previous bankruptcy as a profitable company with one of the highest rate of returns for a utility company in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To continue functioning, PG&E is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721731/pge-regulators-ok-utilitys-request-to-borrow-6-billion-amid-bankruptcy-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requesting to borrow $5.5 billion\u003c/a> in financing from nine major banks that would allow the company to keep paying its bills. The reason these banks are willing to lend PG&E the money is because they'll be some of the first creditors to be paid back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bankruptcy cases also can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in fees for lawyers, bankers and consultants. A 2014 bankruptcy filing for a Texas utility yielded more than $600 million in professional fees, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Energy-company-s-bankruptcy-generating-12789018.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas Lawbook\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind me, why is PG&E doing this?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11722372\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS11522_452938222-e1548901093392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1331\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11722372\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hard hat sits on the ground at a Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) work site on July 30, 2014 in San Francisco, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This is an unusual bankruptcy because PG&E is still solvent. As part of its filing, PG&E estimated its liabilities at about $51 billion and its assets at more than $71 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What PG&E \u003cem>doesn't\u003c/em> have access to is credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because PG&E \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717965/pge-announces-plans-for-bankruptcy-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">could have to pay out tens of billions of dollars\u003c/a> to victims of the devastating wildfires of 2017 and 2018. But we don't know exactly how much PG&E will owe fire victims because none of those lawsuits ever made it far enough in court for any kind of settlement or verdict to be reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State fire officials are also still investigating whether PG&E equipment was responsible for several fires, including the Camp Fire in November 2018. So far Cal Fire has determined that PG&E equipment was responsible for 18 fires in 2017, and found that the utility broke state law in 11 of those cases. Under California state law, utilities are responsible for any damage their equipment causes, even if they weren't found negligent. However, some of those costs can be passed on to ratepayers under a controversial new bill that passed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PG&E estimated that it could owe about $30 billion in liabilities in its most recent bankruptcy filing. But the company hasn't disclosed how it came to that number in filings in bankruptcy court or with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Even if you don't directly get power from PG&E, this is a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is one of the largest utilities in the United States, powering the homes and businesses of about 16 million Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bankruptcy will affect electricity rates, the state's renewable energy goals and wildfire lawsuits. It could very well change the kinds of utilities we have in Northern California. It's also going to be a very long and complicated process, so don't expect anything to change quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So my power isn't getting shut off?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10587095\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/electricity-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nope! The lights will stay on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E filed what's known as a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That means that it wants to reorganize the company and get rid of some debts; it's the same kind of bankruptcy that the utility filed for in 2001. And just like then, we should expect some version of PG&E to emerge from bankruptcy in several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might remember the blackouts and brownouts of the 2001 energy crisis. This bankruptcy is very different. PG&E has access to the electricity it needs and customers should not see any kind of reduced service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility has 120 days to announce how it wants to reorganize. There's been a lot of talk about how the utility could sell off its \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/04/677832387/devastating-wildfires-force-californias-largest-utility-to-plan-sale-of-gas-asse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gas division\u003c/a> or even parts of its energy grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also lots of laws and agencies that exist to ensure that you will still get safe and reliable power. These agencies are part of the bankruptcy proceeding, and PG&E can't make any changes to how it delivers power without their signoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is anyone winning from this?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11721848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-1095654954-e1548738691357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1260\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11721848\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A traffic cone sits next to a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) truck on Jan. 17, 2019 in Fairfax, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yes. There are potentially three big winners: PG&E, big banks and lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is for a company to reorganize and get rid of debt so that it can emerge from bankruptcy as a healthy company. PG&E emerged from its previous bankruptcy as a profitable company with one of the highest rate of returns for a utility company in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To continue functioning, PG&E is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721731/pge-regulators-ok-utilitys-request-to-borrow-6-billion-amid-bankruptcy-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requesting to borrow $5.5 billion\u003c/a> in financing from nine major banks that would allow the company to keep paying its bills. The reason these banks are willing to lend PG&E the money is because they'll be some of the first creditors to be paid back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bankruptcy cases also can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in fees for lawyers, bankers and consultants. A 2014 bankruptcy filing for a Texas utility yielded more than $600 million in professional fees, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Energy-company-s-bankruptcy-generating-12789018.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas Lawbook\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind me, why is PG&E doing this?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11722372\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS11522_452938222-e1548901093392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1331\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11722372\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hard hat sits on the ground at a Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) work site on July 30, 2014 in San Francisco, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This is an unusual bankruptcy because PG&E is still solvent. As part of its filing, PG&E estimated its liabilities at about $51 billion and its assets at more than $71 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What PG&E \u003cem>doesn't\u003c/em> have access to is credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because PG&E \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717965/pge-announces-plans-for-bankruptcy-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">could have to pay out tens of billions of dollars\u003c/a> to victims of the devastating wildfires of 2017 and 2018. But we don't know exactly how much PG&E will owe fire victims because none of those lawsuits ever made it far enough in court for any kind of settlement or verdict to be reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State fire officials are also still investigating whether PG&E equipment was responsible for several fires, including the Camp Fire in November 2018. So far Cal Fire has determined that PG&E equipment was responsible for 18 fires in 2017, and found that the utility broke state law in 11 of those cases. Under California state law, utilities are responsible for any damage their equipment causes, even if they weren't found negligent. However, some of those costs can be passed on to ratepayers under a controversial new bill that passed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PG&E estimated that it could owe about $30 billion in liabilities in its most recent bankruptcy filing.
