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.",

It's happened because of decisions that were deferred, delayed or not made by the largest investor-owned utility in the state of California, one of the largest in the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the future, Newsom said, the state and its residents shouldn't have to make a \"false choice\" between public safety and hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can't be, respectfully, the new normal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Thursday, Bill Johnson, PG&E’s new president and CEO, apologized to customers: \"This is not how we want to serve you, not how we want to run our business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the utility did choose safety over hardship: \"I do apologize for the hardship this has caused, and I think we made the right call on safety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the company will likely have to make decisions on power shutoffs in the future and acknowledged it could have done better communicating with customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were not adequately prepared to support the operational event,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the shutoffs, the company's website crashed, maps of affected areas were inconsistent or incorrect and call centers were overloaded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Valle, a Sonoma County spokeswoman, said PG&E informed local officials that nearly all residents should have their power turned back on by late Friday. She said the county is sending residents a survey to see how the shutoffs impacted them — even if they didn't lose electricity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, some 1.8 million to 2.4 million people may have been impacted by the cuts, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11779072/how-the-pge-outages-could-affect-millions-not-hundreds-of-thousands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said Stanford University climate and energy expert Michael Wara on Wednesday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those affected included more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11779289/pge-power-shutoffs-keeping-over-130000-kids-home-from-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">130,000 students\u003c/a> across the state, whose schools shuttered for at least one day this week, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11779153/its-not-just-lights-and-tvs-outages-shut-off-medical-devices-at-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people with health conditions\u003c/a> who rely on electricity to power medical devices at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man dependent on oxygen died about 12 minutes after PG&E shut down power early Wednesday in the Northern California community of Pollock Pines, the Associated Press reported.

About 245,000 customers remained without power, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, power had been restored to nearly 84% of customers who lost it, according to PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarqissian. More than 42,000 customers, primarily in Napa and Sonoma counties, were still without power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A customer denotes any household, business or other entity that gets power from PG&E, so the actual number of people who have been impacted by the shutoffs is actually far greater than the number of customers listed. For instance, one customer could represent a household of four people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shutoffs, which began early Wednesday and continued Thursday, were aimed at reducing the risk of wildfires that could be sparked by electrical equipment, amid high winds and dry conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Thursday evening, Gov. Gavin Newsom lambasted PG&E, saying the decision to cut power was the result of the utility not upgrading its infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happened is unacceptable,\" Newsom said. \"It's happened because of neglect. It's happened because of decisions that were deferred, delayed or not made by the largest investor-owned utility in the state of California, one of the largest in the nation.\"[pullquote align=\"right\" citation=\"Gov.

It's happened because of decisions that were deferred, delayed or not made by the largest investor owned utility in the state of California, one of the largest in the nation.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the future, Newsom said, the state and its residents shouldn't have to make a \"false choice\" between public safety and hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can't be, respectfully, the new normal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Thursday evening, Bill Johnson, PG&E’s new president and CEO, spoke at a separate news conference and apologized to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not how we want to serve you, not how we want to run our business,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Johnson, in response to Newsom's earlier comments, maintained that the utility chose safety over hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do apologize for the hardship this has caused, and I think we made the right call on safety,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the company will likely have to make a decision on power shutoffs in the future, and acknowledged that it could have done better communicating with customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were not adequately prepared to support the operational event,\" Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the shutoffs, the company's website crashed, maps of affected areas were inconsistent or incorrect and call centers were overloaded.[aside label=\"more shutoff coverage\" tag=\"power-shutoffs\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E said it is now working to quickly restore power across its vast service area, a process that entails inspection of 2,400 miles of transmission lines and 24,000 miles of distribution lines. The utility has 6,300 field personnel and 44 helicopters doing this work, it said, and had already identified multiple instances of damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E said inspections will occur in counties that have been declared \"all clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, parts of the Sierra foothills, including the town of Paradise and some areas of Kern County, will remain without power, likely through Thursday night, until the threat of high winds subsides, company officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Power Shutoffs Amid High Winds\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The utility said about 234,000 customers may have been impacted by the second phase of the shutoffs Wednesday, but did not give a precise number for how many had actually lost power. About 513,000 customers had their electricity cut in the first phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, some 1.8 million to 2.4 million people may have been impacted by the cuts, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11779072/how-the-pge-outages-could-affect-millions-not-hundreds-of-thousands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said Stanford University climate and energy expert Michael Wara on Wednesday\u003c/a>.

Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, sent a letter to the California Public Utilities Commission late Wednesday, calling on the commission to more aggressively regulate the shutoffs and conduct post-event reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many questions remain unanswered as the state reels with the consequences of this decision by PG&E. Chief among them is why is PG&E alone in making this decision?\" Hill wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CPUC President Marybel Batjer began a commission meeting Thursday morning stating her concerns with the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The situation frankly has been unacceptable,\" Batjer said. \"The impacts to individual communities, to individual people, to the commerce of our state, to the safety of our people has been less than exemplary, and we have to, this cannot be the new normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said he expects lawmakers will discuss steps to make sure the decision to power down doesn't come unilaterally from PG&E in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Powering down can be very helpful in avoiding wildfires. This isn't about any and all blackouts. But this level of a blackout should not be a regular occurrence, and I'm concerned that PG&E will make it a regular occurrence,\" Wiener said.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Small Fires Break Out in Bay Area\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A fire reported in the East Bay town of Moraga at about 1 a.m. threatened 140 buildings early Thursday morning in an area where power had been cut.

It’s the first time since the 2017 North Bay fires that we've had such a widespread offshore wind event, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other reason is infrastructure. “The infrastructure we have was not built with fire risk in mind,\" said Wara. \"It was built to — especially in the rural parts and suburban parts of California that are most at risk today — serve customers cost effectively and to keep power rates low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you'll have a power line that will serve one valley and then go up and over a ridge to serve the next valley.

About 245,000 customers remained without power, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, power had been restored to nearly 84% of customers who lost it, according to PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarqissian. More than 42,000 customers, primarily in Napa and Sonoma counties, were still without power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A customer denotes any household, business or other entity that gets power from PG&E, so the actual number of people who have been impacted by the shutoffs is actually far greater than the number of customers listed. For instance, one customer could represent a household of four people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shutoffs, which began early Wednesday and continued Thursday, were aimed at reducing the risk of wildfires that could be sparked by electrical equipment, amid high winds and dry conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Thursday evening, Gov. Gavin Newsom lambasted PG&E, saying the decision to cut power was the result of the utility not upgrading its infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happened is unacceptable,\" Newsom said. \"It's happened because of neglect. It's happened because of decisions that were deferred, delayed or not made by the largest investor-owned utility in the state of California, one of the largest in the nation.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s the first time since the 2017 North Bay fires that we've had such a widespread offshore wind event, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other reason is infrastructure. “The infrastructure we have was not built with fire risk in mind,\" said Wara. \"It was built to — especially in the rural parts and suburban parts of California that are most at risk today — serve customers cost effectively and to keep power rates low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you'll have a power line that will serve one valley and then go up and over a ridge to serve the next valley. And that means that if you have to turn that light off, you could black out both valleys in addition to the ridge top — even though the risk is only on the ridge top,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sumeet Singh, vice president of PG&E’s Community Wildfire Safety Program, said Californians can expect more widespread power shutoffs like these in similar weather conditions as the utility continues to upgrade its infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>At the tail end of the Paradise Town Council meeting on Tuesday night, Town Manager Lauren Gill shared a warning with the crowd: Traffic signals in the town would go dark due to PG&E's plan to shut off power for nearly 30,000 customers in Butte County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Traffic signals in town will blink for a few hours, then go dark at some point,” Gill said. “We are looking for a solution that will keep the signals on longer, but for now we do not have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The power outages in parts of Butte County, which went into effect around midnight last night, have stirred up anxiety, fear and anger from many in the area. With the one-year anniversary of the deadly \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710884/list-of-those-who-died-in-butte-county-paradise-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camp Fire\u003c/a> one month away, those feelings are particularly acute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='public-safety-power-shutoffs' label='The Power Shutoffs']“The feedback I've gotten from a few individuals during the power shutoffs is that they understand cognitively that it's an issue that needs to be resolved as far as safety for the public, but because some of them have been through the horrific experience during the Camp Fire and they cite PG&E as the root cause, they have some resulting anger,” said Eric Eckhart, who works as a fire recovery counselor for the Butte County Office of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The power shutoffs across Butte County are part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11778706/pge-power-shutoffs-what-you-need-to-know\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a series of massive power shutoffs PG&E initiated for over 500,000 customers\u003c/a> early Wednesday morning across Northern and Central California. With high winds and low humidity, weather conditions are ripe for another large wildfire. Preemptive power shutoffs are supposed to decrease the risk of electrical equipment sparking a fire like the one in Paradise last November. It's a move that county residents have mixed feelings about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in May, a Cal Fire investigation found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issues with PG&E transmission lines\u003c/a> caused the massive fire last year, which killed 85 people, destroyed 14,000 homes and decimated the town of Paradise. That has eroded the trust between some residents and the utility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s such a mistrust now,” said Valerie Cross, who lives in Oroville. “PG&E took away our power — literally and figuratively. And that creates anxiety. When you feel a loss of control, a loss of ability to do something, a fear of what’s going to happen next.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that mistrust has spawned rumors and misinformation among residents about when the shutoffs are happening and how long they’ll last. Meanwhile, others are frustrated that PG&E didn’t do power shutoffs like this before the Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm not happy,” said Paradise resident Stacy Pineda. “I don't understand why it is that they failed to shut off the power on Nov. 8 and why now in their 'success' are pulling so many days in a row.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to PG&E, the shutoffs could last for several days because the utility needs time to do safety checks and ensure no lines were damaged during the high fire risk weather event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Pineda knows the shutoffs can help prevent fires like the one that destroyed her hometown, “there's got to be some middle ground. We can't lose everything that's in our refrigerators every time there's a danger. They need to upgrade and repair their systems to where it's safe enough to operate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is in the process of putting their electric distribution power lines in Paradise underground. The utility is also working on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750896/cpuc-pge-deenergization-wildfire-safety-power-shutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state-mandated wildfire mitigation plan\u003c/a>, which aims to cut down on the potential of igniting a fire during high-risk periods. That plan includes preemptive power shutoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11778922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11778922\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/DSC5467-800x534.jpg\" alt=\""It's really kind of a no win situation.

With high winds and low humidity, weather conditions are ripe for another large wildfire. Preemptive power shutoffs are supposed to decrease the risk of electrical equipment sparking a fire like the one in Paradise last November. It's a move that county residents have mixed feelings about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in May, a Cal Fire investigation found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issues with PG&E transmission lines\u003c/a> caused the massive fire last year, which killed 85 people, destroyed 14,000 homes and decimated the town of Paradise. That has eroded the trust between some residents and the utility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s such a mistrust now,” said Valerie Cross, who lives in Oroville. “PG&E took away our power — literally and figuratively. And that creates anxiety. When you feel a loss of control, a loss of ability to do something, a fear of what’s going to happen next.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that mistrust has spawned rumors and misinformation among residents about when the shutoffs are happening and how long they’ll last. Meanwhile, others are frustrated that PG&E didn’t do power shutoffs like this before the Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm not happy,” said Paradise resident Stacy Pineda. “I don't understand why it is that they failed to shut off the power on Nov. 8 and why now in their 'success' are pulling so many days in a row.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to PG&E, the shutoffs could last for several days because the utility needs time to do safety checks and ensure no lines were damaged during the high fire risk weather event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Pineda knows the shutoffs can help prevent fires like the one that destroyed her hometown, “there's got to be some middle ground. We can't lose everything that's in our refrigerators every time there's a danger. They need to upgrade and repair their systems to where it's safe enough to operate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is in the process of putting their electric distribution power lines in Paradise underground. The utility is also working on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750896/cpuc-pge-deenergization-wildfire-safety-power-shutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state-mandated wildfire mitigation plan\u003c/a>, which aims to cut down on the potential of igniting a fire during high-risk periods.
