I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

The injections allow petroleum and water under the ground to flow more freely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry says fracking helps provide the country with a consistent source of domestic energy. Environmental groups say the chemicals used in the method lead to air and water pollution and the potential contamination of drinking water. The work has been blamed for causing earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most fracking and other oil and gas drilling takes place on private land, which is regulated by the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hydraulic fracturing accounts for about 1% of California's total gas and oil production, according to Don Drysdale, a spokesman for the state's Department of Conservation. By contrast, water and steam injection account for about 65% of the state's production. But the issue has taken on an \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jerry-brown-fracking_n_564a39cbe4b08cda348a0cb2?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFzlMr3cYNHgdnhoTyYIccu_qS_RDogXnDEP_ky3ym9ZEShIBt7wVbuR96azCFpDgi6I6OnOth-J26M8-5vXJ4GaMAiW6yMNcAvYToTfPhzEFvo1n55TJN2nRu2uxCZzBgQBoalB7Lotev2nA0IN0u76ip-4KGwLxb8FCQ1MvRAS\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">out-sized role\u003c/a> for environmental activists in the state who have pushed California politicians to oppose the practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, most fracking takes place in Kern County, home to several large oil fields.

State regulators are tasked with requiring fuel producers to disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing. If a fracking job causes a magnitude 2.7 earthquake or stronger, the work is supposed to be halted. And state officials are charged with determining whether fracking projects should lead to water quality monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration recently announced that it would \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11787352/state-puts-hold-on-some-oil-well-permits-after-chevrons-kern-county-crisis\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">refer dozens of pending oil company fracking applications\u003c/a> and other well stimulation methods to independent experts for review. That came after increased scrutiny on California's oil and gas drilling industry and the agency that regulates it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last July, Newsom ordered the firing of the top official at the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources after reports surfaced of a dramatic increase in fracking permits and revelations that agency employees owned stock in the companies they regulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On federal land, it's a different story. Since 2012, there has been a moratorium in California for new oil lease sales on land overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management following lawsuits filed by the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that time oil companies have received permits to drill on existing leases, but it's unclear how much hydraulic fracturing has taken place on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late last year, the Trump administration finalized plans to open up more than a million acres of public land in California to fossil fuel development, which include fracking. That prompted more legal action from the Center for Biological Diversity and the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the top Democratic candidates' proposals on fracking could mean for California:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Vermont Sen.

It would prohibit fracking near homes and schools by 2021.

State regulators are tasked with requiring fuel producers to disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing. If a fracking job causes a magnitude 2.7 earthquake or stronger, the work is supposed to be halted. And state officials are charged with determining whether fracking projects should lead to water quality monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration recently announced that it would \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11787352/state-puts-hold-on-some-oil-well-permits-after-chevrons-kern-county-crisis\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">refer dozens of pending oil company fracking applications\u003c/a> and other well stimulation methods to independent experts for review. That came after increased scrutiny on California's oil and gas drilling industry and the agency that regulates it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last July, Newsom ordered the firing of the top official at the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources after reports surfaced of a dramatic increase in fracking permits and revelations that agency employees owned stock in the companies they regulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On federal land, it's a different story. Since 2012, there has been a moratorium in California for new oil lease sales on land overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management following lawsuits filed by the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that time oil companies have received permits to drill on existing leases, but it's unclear how much hydraulic fracturing has taken place on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late last year, the Trump administration finalized plans to open up more than a million acres of public land in California to fossil fuel development, which include fracking. That prompted more legal action from the Center for Biological Diversity and the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the top Democratic candidates' proposals on fracking could mean for California:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says he would ban fracking nationwide. The campaign says that fracking pollutes water, degrades air quality, leads to major methane leaks, worsens climate change and results in more earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late January, Sanders unveiled a federal bill to phase out the practice. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-ocasio-cortez-lead-first-ever-bill-to-ban-fracking-nationwide\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ban Fracking Act\u003c/a> would immediately bar new permits for hydraulic fracturing. It would prohibit fracking near homes and schools by 2021. Starting in 2025, it would ban the method across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we are serious about clean air and drinking water, if we are serious about combating climate change, the only safe and sane way to move forward is to ban fracking nationwide,\" Sanders said in a press release for his January proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Warren's campaign says she would put in place a moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases and work with Congress to pass legislation to ban fracking nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, Warren said on her first day in office she would sign an order placing a moratorium on new fossil fuel leases on public lands and planned to ban fracking altogether.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Claimants have since filed more than $50 billion in wildfire claims, which the utility has proposed settling for a total of $25.5 billion, which includes reimbursement for insurers and other things. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing the victims concede the settlement isn’t perfect, but they say it’s the best deal possible under the circumstances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='pge']PG&E believes the misgivings about the settlement are being expressed by a vocal minority. In a Wednesday statement, the company reiterated its belief that the deal “brings us one significant step closer to getting victims paid so they can rebuild their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there is a growing sentiment among victims that they’re getting such a raw deal that they should reject it, even if that means waiting longer to be paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want you to know that many of us understand what is happening and that we will move heaven and earth to stop it,” Lisa Williams, another survivor of the Camp Fire, vowed in a Feb. 6 letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, 59, now lives in Las Vegas and started a wildfire victims group on Facebook opposing the current deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compounding frustration over the plan to pay them in stock, PG&E agreed to an all-cash settlement of $11 billion to reimburse about 110 insurers for losses paid out to policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do we have to wait to get paid but we’d have to depend on the company’s recovery,” said Meek, who said he has moved many times since losing his house, and is nowhere close to rebuilding on his property. “If a fire comes again, what will happen to the stock price?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time PG&E emerged from bankruptcy in April 2004, its stock more than doubled while paying out billions of dollars in dividends. PG&E’s stock has sunk as low as $3.55 four months ago, but has since rebounded to $16 to $18 per share, largely on hopes the company will be able to deliver on its projection of record profits as it bounces back from bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court documents say none of the victims will have to accept PG&E stock if they don’t want it but the process for choosing an alternative hasn’t been spelled out yet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Bates, a 67-year-old former nurse who moved to Virginia after losing her Paradise home in 2018, said those affected the most are being “tossed aside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have a lot of faith that I’m going to see any significant compensation at the end of it all,” Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Lily Jamali and David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Claimants have since filed more than $50 billion in wildfire claims, which the utility has proposed settling for a total of $25.5 billion, which includes reimbursement for insurers and other things. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing the victims concede the settlement isn’t perfect, but they say it’s the best deal possible under the circumstances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a Wednesday statement, the company reiterated its belief that the deal “brings us one significant step closer to getting victims paid so they can rebuild their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there is a growing sentiment among victims that they’re getting such a raw deal that they should reject it, even if that means waiting longer to be paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want you to know that many of us understand what is happening and that we will move heaven and earth to stop it,” Lisa Williams, another survivor of the Camp Fire, vowed in a Feb. 6 letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, 59, now lives in Las Vegas and started a wildfire victims group on Facebook opposing the current deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compounding frustration over the plan to pay them in stock, PG&E agreed to an all-cash settlement of $11 billion to reimburse about 110 insurers for losses paid out to policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do we have to wait to get paid but we’d have to depend on the company’s recovery,” said Meek, who said he has moved many times since losing his house, and is nowhere close to rebuilding on his property. “If a fire comes again, what will happen to the stock price?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time PG&E emerged from bankruptcy in April 2004, its stock more than doubled while paying out billions of dollars in dividends. PG&E’s stock has sunk as low as $3.55 four months ago, but has since rebounded to $16 to $18 per share, largely on hopes the company will be able to deliver on its projection of record profits as it bounces back from bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court documents say none of the victims will have to accept PG&E stock if they don’t want it but the process for choosing an alternative hasn’t been spelled out yet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Bates, a 67-year-old former nurse who moved to Virginia after losing her Paradise home in 2018, said those affected the most are being “tossed aside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have a lot of faith that I’m going to see any significant compensation at the end of it all,” Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Lily Jamali and David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
