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.",

Chevron says 1.34 million gallons of oil and water have been recovered in the area since the spill began in early May. About 30 percent of that total, about 400,000 gallons, was petroleum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, contractors have been hauling away contaminated soil from the site and taking it to San Joaquin Valley dumps -- including two facilities that handle hazardous waste. Recently posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuNJOh6k4pk&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drone video\u003c/a> (below) suggests the job is far from complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The footage gives a detailed view of the roughly 1,000 feet of stream bed that was fouled after oil began flowing to the surface near a damaged Chevron well in the Cymric oil field, 35 miles west of Bakersfield. The most recent footage, from earlier this week, shows heavy equipment continuing to work on an extensive section of the oil-soaked channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Kern County environmental activist called the video \"eye-opening\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This just shows a different perspective of ... what we're dealing with here locally,\" Gustavo Aguirre Jr., a Bakersfield project coordinator at Central California Environmental Justice Network, said after viewing the footage. \"You see the flow of this toxic crude and wastewater.

That part of California is dry, with the nearby town of Taft getting an average of about 6 inches of rain a year. But the region occasionally sees heavy rain, which would send runoff down the stream, including through the area polluted by Chevron's Cymric spill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laughlin, the DFW spokesman, was asked whether state officials were concerned about well operations in the area in the event of strong rains in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chevron has contingency plans in place to handle heavy rains,\" he said in his email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as the job ahead, Laughlin said crews will work to remove the contaminated soil \"until clean dirt is observed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have taken most of the soil that's been removed from the site to the McKittrick Waste Landfill, Laughlin said. Some of the material has been taken to two hazardous waste dumps -- Clean Harbors, west of the town of Buttonwillow, and Waste Management's King County facility in Kettleman Hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre raised concerns that oil from the accident was being dumped closer to San Joaquin Valley communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It becomes part of this bigger problem. You take one toxic substances from one location to another,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months state officials and Chevron have said that the spill did not affect wildlife in the area. They said that crews had worked to keep birds and animals from the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last week they said that had changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An oiled bird, a lesser nighthawk, was recovered from the site on Aug. 14.

Chevron says 1.34 million gallons of oil and water have been recovered in the area since the spill began in early May. About 30 percent of that total, about 400,000 gallons, was petroleum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, contractors have been hauling away contaminated soil from the site and taking it to San Joaquin Valley dumps -- including two facilities that handle hazardous waste. Recently posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuNJOh6k4pk&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drone video\u003c/a> (below) suggests the job is far from complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The footage gives a detailed view of the roughly 1,000 feet of stream bed that was fouled after oil began flowing to the surface near a damaged Chevron well in the Cymric oil field, 35 miles west of Bakersfield. The most recent footage, from earlier this week, shows heavy equipment continuing to work on an extensive section of the oil-soaked channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Kern County environmental activist called the video \"eye-opening\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This just shows a different perspective of ... what we're dealing with here locally,\" Gustavo Aguirre Jr., a Bakersfield project coordinator at Central California Environmental Justice Network, said after viewing the footage. \"You see the flow of this toxic crude and wastewater.

That part of California is dry, with the nearby town of Taft getting an average of about 6 inches of rain a year. But the region occasionally sees heavy rain, which would send runoff down the stream, including through the area polluted by Chevron's Cymric spill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laughlin, the DFW spokesman, was asked whether state officials were concerned about well operations in the area in the event of strong rains in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chevron has contingency plans in place to handle heavy rains,\" he said in his email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as the job ahead, Laughlin said crews will work to remove the contaminated soil \"until clean dirt is observed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have taken most of the soil that's been removed from the site to the McKittrick Waste Landfill, Laughlin said. Some of the material has been taken to two hazardous waste dumps -- Clean Harbors, west of the town of Buttonwillow, and Waste Management's King County facility in Kettleman Hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre raised concerns that oil from the accident was being dumped closer to San Joaquin Valley communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It becomes part of this bigger problem. You take one toxic substances from one location to another,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months state officials and Chevron have said that the spill did not affect wildlife in the area. They said that crews had worked to keep birds and animals from the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last week they said that had changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An oiled bird, a lesser nighthawk, was recovered from the site on Aug. 14.

The utility’s average rate is \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/sales_revenue_price/pdf/table10.pdf\">20.06\u003c/a> cents per \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=K\">kilowatt hour,\u003c/a> compared with an average \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/sales_revenue_price/pdf/table4.pdf\">16.06\u003c/a> cents statewide and \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/sales_revenue_price/pdf/table4.pdf\">10.48\u003c/a> cents nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But interestingly, those higher rates are offset by California’s higher efficiency.

According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/uploadedFiles/CPUCWebsite/Content/News_Room/NewsUpdates/2019/Cal%20Advocates%20Rate%20Trend%20Presentation%20-%20April%2024th%202019.pdf\">Public Advocates Office\u003c/a>, residential rates have risen 31% between 2009 and 2019 — higher than the consumer price index of 19%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But PG&E isn’t alone. While Southern California Edison rates largely appear to keep track with inflation at 18%, San Diego Gas & Electric’s have jumped 51% in the past decade. That’s partly because SDG&E’s customers have been installing solar panels at a higher rate, which distorts the average cost because each customer appears to be consuming less electricity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Much More Will Customers’ Costs Go Up?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Based on what we know, the average residential PG&E customer could pay nearly $300 more a year in the next three years, or a 15% increase in their monthly bills. This is because the utility is asking permission from state regulators — separately from the bankruptcy proceedings — to increase its revenue in two ways. Most, but not all, of the new revenue would be passed to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, PG&E has asked for a three-year increase totaling \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=10432\">$2 billion\u003c/a>.That would include a 12.4% jump next year, a 4.7% increase the year after that and a 4.8% hike in 2022. That’s nearly a 22% rise. PG&E says much of the extra money is needed for fire-safety \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/06/scant-details-are-california-utilities-doing-enough-to-fireproof-their-equipment/\">improvements\u003c/a> such as more fire-resistant poles, covered power lines, new weather stations and high-definition field cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this scenario, for the average PG&E residential customer using both electricity and gas, the current bill of $165.94 a month would go up to $186.24 in three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, PG&E wants to raise the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=12093\">guaranteed rate of return\u003c/a> for capital investments that it gets under California law from 10.25% to 12%. It had sought a return as high as \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en/about/newsroom/newsdetails/index.page?title=20190422_pge_submits_updated_financing_proposal_for_safety_and_reliability_infrastructure_investments_for_16_million_customers_commits_to_working_toward_long-term_policy_solutions_to_best_serve_interests_of_customers_utility_and_california\">16%\u003c/a> in April. PG&E is arguing that it needs to offer investors bigger profits to offset the financial risks of liability in major wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This request would add an additional $4.12 a month to the average residential bill. Combined, the increases would be $293 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/28b3e590-0506-4c73-a519-f470250b8e6e?src=embed\" title=\"PG&E monthly cost\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can This Really Happen?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, but it depends on state regulators. The California Public Utilities Commission will need to approve both rate increases, and PG&E may not get everything it wants. Already the commission, which oversees investor-owned utilities, is hearing an earful from residents in \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/9850146-181/pges-2-billion-rate-increase\">Santa Rosa\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article234012322.html\">Fresno\u003c/a> overwhelmingly opposed to paying more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission is expected to announce a decision next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s Going on With the Bankruptcy?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The bankruptcy case is proceeding in court in the meantime, but key issues have yet to be resolved. Perhaps the biggest unknown is how much PG&E will be on the hook for past wildfires. PG&E initially stated it could face as much as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/01/pge-bankruptcy-problems-wildfires-outcomes/\">$30 billion\u003c/a> in potential damages from a series of catastrophic wildfires in Northern California in 2017 and 2018. The utility has since lowered that estimate to \u003ca href=\"https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001004980/eabd64d5-e293-481f-98dd-15e77f594ec7.pdf\">$17.9 billion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The PG&E Bankruptcy\" tag=\"pge-bankruptcy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the utility has all but accepted liability in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/5038/campfire_cause.pdf\">Camp Fire\u003c/a> that leveled the Northern California town of Paradise, it has been trying to minimize liability in the Tubbs Fire, citing a Cal Fire investigation that blamed \u003ca href=\"https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/5032/tubbscause1v.pdf\">private electrical equipment\u003c/a>. But the bankruptcy judge \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/billionaires-hits-a-hard-patch-the-economy-is-on-a-roll-and-help-is-wanted-in-health-care/\">ruled\u003c/a> that victims can pursue a jury trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire victims argue that PG&E is at least partly to blame. They’re eager to show jurors a winery’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2019/07/27/new-surveillance-video-puts-pg-e-back-in-the-blame-game-for-the-2017-tubbs-fire/\">surveillance video\u003c/a> they say is the moment when high-voltage PG&E lines exploded first, near the private power system. Rex Frazier, president of the Personal Insurance Federation of California, which represents insurance companies, said a jury could award victims up to $10 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is There a Deadline for the Bankruptcy Proceedings?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes. Under a new \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1054\">law\u003c/a> signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, PG&E will need to have an exit plan resolved by June 30, 2020, in order to tap \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/07/californias-new-wildfire-plan-5-things-to-know/\">special funds\u003c/a> for future wildfire damages. PG&E is expected to present a draft of its plan in court next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates worry that PG&E may also try to stick customers with damages from past fires — the debt that drove them into bankruptcy. “PG&E wouldn’t be PG&E if they weren’t always looking for a bailout,” says Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman for The Utility Reform Network, a consumer advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is There a Bailout?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>TBD. Assemblyman Chad Mayes, a Republican from Yucca Valley, has proposed allowing PG&E to sell \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/pge-legislation-emerges-newsom-visits-paradise-and-horse-tracks-jockey-for-position/\">$20 billion in bonds\u003c/a> to pay off past wildfire liabilities. Mayes says PG&E shareholders, not customers or taxpayers, would shoulder the debt. A group of PG&E shareholders created a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wildfirerecoverynow.com/\">website\u003c/a> to tout the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a group of bondholders led by Paul Singer, a significant contributor to the Republican Party, has mounted a challenge for control of PG&E. The group has teamed with agriculture and food-processing customers — major commercial customers — to warn that consumers and taxpayers would in fact pay more. Its website is \u003ca href=\"https://stopthepgebailout.com/the-bailout/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if lawmakers will take up the additional legislation before they adjourn in three weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

This is because the utility is asking permission from state regulators — separately from the bankruptcy proceedings — to increase its revenue in two ways. Most, but not all, of the new revenue would be passed to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, PG&E has asked for a three-year increase totaling \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=10432\">$2 billion\u003c/a>.That would include a 12.4% jump next year, a 4.7% increase the year after that and a 4.8% hike in 2022. That’s nearly a 22% rise. PG&E says much of the extra money is needed for fire-safety \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/06/scant-details-are-california-utilities-doing-enough-to-fireproof-their-equipment/\">improvements\u003c/a> such as more fire-resistant poles, covered power lines, new weather stations and high-definition field cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this scenario, for the average PG&E residential customer using both electricity and gas, the current bill of $165.94 a month would go up to $186.24 in three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, PG&E wants to raise the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=12093\">guaranteed rate of return\u003c/a> for capital investments that it gets under California law from 10.25% to 12%. It had sought a return as high as \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en/about/newsroom/newsdetails/index.page?title=20190422_pge_submits_updated_financing_proposal_for_safety_and_reliability_infrastructure_investments_for_16_million_customers_commits_to_working_toward_long-term_policy_solutions_to_best_serve_interests_of_customers_utility_and_california\">16%\u003c/a> in April. PG&E is arguing that it needs to offer investors bigger profits to offset the financial risks of liability in major wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This request would add an additional $4.12 a month to the average residential bill. Combined, the increases would be $293 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/28b3e590-0506-4c73-a519-f470250b8e6e?src=embed\" title=\"PG&E monthly cost\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can This Really Happen?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, but it depends on state regulators. The California Public Utilities Commission will need to approve both rate increases, and PG&E may not get everything it wants. Already the commission, which oversees investor-owned utilities, is hearing an earful from residents in \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/9850146-181/pges-2-billion-rate-increase\">Santa Rosa\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article234012322.html\">Fresno\u003c/a> overwhelmingly opposed to paying more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission is expected to announce a decision next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s Going on With the Bankruptcy?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The bankruptcy case is proceeding in court in the meantime, but key issues have yet to be resolved. Perhaps the biggest unknown is how much PG&E will be on the hook for past wildfires. PG&E initially stated it could face as much as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/01/pge-bankruptcy-problems-wildfires-outcomes/\">$30 billion\u003c/a> in potential damages from a series of catastrophic wildfires in Northern California in 2017 and 2018. The utility has since lowered that estimate to \u003ca href=\"https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001004980/eabd64d5-e293-481f-98dd-15e77f594ec7.pdf\">$17.9 billion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the bankruptcy judge \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/billionaires-hits-a-hard-patch-the-economy-is-on-a-roll-and-help-is-wanted-in-health-care/\">ruled\u003c/a> that victims can pursue a jury trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire victims argue that PG&E is at least partly to blame. They’re eager to show jurors a winery’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2019/07/27/new-surveillance-video-puts-pg-e-back-in-the-blame-game-for-the-2017-tubbs-fire/\">surveillance video\u003c/a> they say is the moment when high-voltage PG&E lines exploded first, near the private power system. Rex Frazier, president of the Personal Insurance Federation of California, which represents insurance companies, said a jury could award victims up to $10 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is There a Deadline for the Bankruptcy Proceedings?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes. Under a new \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1054\">law\u003c/a> signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, PG&E will need to have an exit plan resolved by June 30, 2020, in order to tap \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/07/californias-new-wildfire-plan-5-things-to-know/\">special funds\u003c/a> for future wildfire damages. PG&E is expected to present a draft of its plan in court next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates worry that PG&E may also try to stick customers with damages from past fires — the debt that drove them into bankruptcy. “PG&E wouldn’t be PG&E if they weren’t always looking for a bailout,” says Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman for The Utility Reform Network, a consumer advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is There a Bailout?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>TBD. Assemblyman Chad Mayes, a Republican from Yucca Valley, has proposed allowing PG&E to sell \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/pge-legislation-emerges-newsom-visits-paradise-and-horse-tracks-jockey-for-position/\">$20 billion in bonds\u003c/a> to pay off past wildfire liabilities. Mayes says PG&E shareholders, not customers or taxpayers, would shoulder the debt. A group of PG&E shareholders created a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wildfirerecoverynow.com/\">website\u003c/a> to tout the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a group of bondholders led by Paul Singer, a significant contributor to the Republican Party, has mounted a challenge for control of PG&E. The group has teamed with agriculture and food-processing customers — major commercial customers — to warn that consumers and taxpayers would in fact pay more. Its website is \u003ca href=\"https://stopthepgebailout.com/the-bailout/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if lawmakers will take up the additional legislation before they adjourn in three weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This includes working towards the ability to be able to prioritize the re-energization of critical infrastructure like oil refineries,\" said Jeff Smith, a PG&E spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks after the association's filing, the commission \u003ca href=\"http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M296/K598/296598822.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved PG&E's shutoff plans\u003c/a>. Oil companies did not get the break they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the association's concerns have not faded. The head of the industry group continues to call on the state's utilities to keep the power flowing to refineries even during periods of high fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unplanned shutdowns imposed by a utility can result in health, safety and environmental impacts,\" Catherine Reheis-Boyd, the group's president, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If a utility's actions disrupt the fuel supply chain, this could significantly impact affordable fuel costs for businesses and consumers in California,\" Reheis-Boyd said. \"Utilities need to make sure that they are investing adequate resources to protect critical facilities to ensure that any de-energization event is used as an absolute last resort and does not cause more harm to Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PG&E Shutoff Plan Scrutinized\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry's concerns were highlighted last week when state lawmakers scrutinized PG&E's shutoff plans. State Sen. Scott Wiener. D-San Francisco, mentioned the refineries while questioning a PG&E executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We saw the oil industry, and I'm not usually aligned with the oil industry, but their letter was very compelling. That's pretty problematic for that to happen,\" Wiener said during a state Senate subcommittee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Very-broad-and-very-dangerous-PG-E-14304972.php?psid=amCL5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hearing\u003c/a> last Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E says it recently met with the industry to discuss its concerns, but it has not signaled an intention to alter its shutoff plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sumeet Singh, the PG&E vice president overseeing the company's wildfire safety program, told the panel that the transmission system serving refineries is built with redundancy in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you look at our transmission system, by nature, especially the 100-kilovolt and above ... there's quite a lot of reliability that's built into it,\" Singh said. That means \"if you lose a line, you have another\" line as a backup, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh also suggested that the oil industries can take PG&E to court \"if they fundamentally believe that the decision that we made was inaccurate, inappropriate, targeted in some way, led to some harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2017 Power Outage at Valero Refinery\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An oil company lawsuit against the utility would not be unprecedented. A May 2017 power failure at Valero's Benicia plant triggered a major release of toxic sulfur dioxide and prompted emergency shelter-in-place orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC blamed PG&E for the outage, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685464/state-decides-not-to-penalize-pge-for-major-valero-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declined to punish the company.\u003c/a> Valero filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11541168/valero-sues-pge-for-reckless-outage-at-benicia-refinery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> against the utility, seeking more than $75 million in damages. That lawsuit is currently on hold pending the outcome of PG&E's bankruptcy proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry's filing with the commission says the 2017 Valero outage proves the dangers an electricity failure poses to a refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the Valero refinery is not in an area designated by PG&E as one at high risk for a public safety power shutoff. Solano County inspectors and Benicia fire officials note that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2019/06/14/questions-on-pge-public-safety-shut-offs-prompt-benicia-response/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refinery gets power from two separate lines\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terry Schmidtbauer, Solano County's assistant director of resource management, which oversees the Benicia facility, says the likelihood of Valero losing power from a pre-emptive shutoff is low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That being said, we are all aware of the past events where Valero did lose all power and had to shut down rather quickly. Such an event is not impossible, even if highly unlikely,\" Schmidtbauer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both in 2017 and last March, when Valero shut down due to two refinery component malfunctions, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745576/valero-restarts-benicia-refinery-helping-to-slow-statewide-gas-price-hike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cost of gasoline in California increased\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidtbauer said after the 2017 outage, county inspectors told Valero to set up a procedure by which it would rely more on fuel gas and steam to generate electricity at the plant to run the refinery if it were to lose power from PG&E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Valero spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County's refineries — the Chevron, Shell, Phillips 66 and Marathon plants — are expected to rely more on their cogeneration facilities and reduce refining in cases of power shutoffs, according to Randy Sawyer, the county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am expecting that they will cut back on their operations so they can continue to operate somewhat on their own,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell's Martinez refinery has emergency backup systems, but they are not enough to power the entire plant, according to Shell spokeswoman Ann Notarangelo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not have enough onsite generation to sustain plant operations in the event of a complete loss of power from PG&E,\" Notarangelo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamal Kheiry, a spokesman for Marathon, which also runs a refinery in Martinez, said the company is working with PG&E \"to ensure the reliability and safety of our operations.\" He did not provide specifics on those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Chevron's Richmond refinery referred questions on the issue to the petroleum association. A representative for Phillips 66 in Rodeo did not return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry group also noted in its filing that while utilities like PG&E hope to give \"industrial customers\" an early heads up before they cut off electricity, it's possible they will not get advance notification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This message is shocking,\" WSPA's filing said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Biological Diversity's Clare Lakewood doesn't buy the association's arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This situation is profoundly unfair to people living around these refineries,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These highly profitable enterprises are already responsible for shocking levels of air pollution and planet warming emissions,\" Lakewood said. \"If they can't find a way to obey the same rules as other businesses and operate safely as California tries to curb wildfire risk, they should shut their doors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

This includes working towards the ability to be able to prioritize the re-energization of critical infrastructure like oil refineries,\" said Jeff Smith, a PG&E spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks after the association's filing, the commission \u003ca href=\"http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M296/K598/296598822.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved PG&E's shutoff plans\u003c/a>. Oil companies did not get the break they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the association's concerns have not faded. The head of the industry group continues to call on the state's utilities to keep the power flowing to refineries even during periods of high fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unplanned shutdowns imposed by a utility can result in health, safety and environmental impacts,\" Catherine Reheis-Boyd, the group's president, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If a utility's actions disrupt the fuel supply chain, this could significantly impact affordable fuel costs for businesses and consumers in California,\" Reheis-Boyd said. \"Utilities need to make sure that they are investing adequate resources to protect critical facilities to ensure that any de-energization event is used as an absolute last resort and does not cause more harm to Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PG&E Shutoff Plan Scrutinized\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry's concerns were highlighted last week when state lawmakers scrutinized PG&E's shutoff plans. State Sen. Scott Wiener. D-San Francisco, mentioned the refineries while questioning a PG&E executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We saw the oil industry, and I'm not usually aligned with the oil industry, but their letter was very compelling. That's pretty problematic for that to happen,\" Wiener said during a state Senate subcommittee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Very-broad-and-very-dangerous-PG-E-14304972.php?psid=amCL5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hearing\u003c/a> last Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E says it recently met with the industry to discuss its concerns, but it has not signaled an intention to alter its shutoff plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sumeet Singh, the PG&E vice president overseeing the company's wildfire safety program, told the panel that the transmission system serving refineries is built with redundancy in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you look at our transmission system, by nature, especially the 100-kilovolt and above ... there's quite a lot of reliability that's built into it,\" Singh said. That means \"if you lose a line, you have another\" line as a backup, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh also suggested that the oil industries can take PG&E to court \"if they fundamentally believe that the decision that we made was inaccurate, inappropriate, targeted in some way, led to some harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2017 Power Outage at Valero Refinery\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An oil company lawsuit against the utility would not be unprecedented. A May 2017 power failure at Valero's Benicia plant triggered a major release of toxic sulfur dioxide and prompted emergency shelter-in-place orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC blamed PG&E for the outage, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685464/state-decides-not-to-penalize-pge-for-major-valero-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declined to punish the company.\u003c/a> Valero filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11541168/valero-sues-pge-for-reckless-outage-at-benicia-refinery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> against the utility, seeking more than $75 million in damages. That lawsuit is currently on hold pending the outcome of PG&E's bankruptcy proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry's filing with the commission says the 2017 Valero outage proves the dangers an electricity failure poses to a refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the Valero refinery is not in an area designated by PG&E as one at high risk for a public safety power shutoff. Solano County inspectors and Benicia fire officials note that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesheraldonline.com/2019/06/14/questions-on-pge-public-safety-shut-offs-prompt-benicia-response/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refinery gets power from two separate lines\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terry Schmidtbauer, Solano County's assistant director of resource management, which oversees the Benicia facility, says the likelihood of Valero losing power from a pre-emptive shutoff is low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That being said, we are all aware of the past events where Valero did lose all power and had to shut down rather quickly. Such an event is not impossible, even if highly unlikely,\" Schmidtbauer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both in 2017 and last March, when Valero shut down due to two refinery component malfunctions, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745576/valero-restarts-benicia-refinery-helping-to-slow-statewide-gas-price-hike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cost of gasoline in California increased\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidtbauer said after the 2017 outage, county inspectors told Valero to set up a procedure by which it would rely more on fuel gas and steam to generate electricity at the plant to run the refinery if it were to lose power from PG&E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Valero spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County's refineries — the Chevron, Shell, Phillips 66 and Marathon plants — are expected to rely more on their cogeneration facilities and reduce refining in cases of power shutoffs, according to Randy Sawyer, the county's chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am expecting that they will cut back on their operations so they can continue to operate somewhat on their own,\" Sawyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell's Martinez refinery has emergency backup systems, but they are not enough to power the entire plant, according to Shell spokeswoman Ann Notarangelo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not have enough onsite generation to sustain plant operations in the event of a complete loss of power from PG&E,\" Notarangelo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They thanked the university and the cam’s viewers, adding: “The Internet has changed a lot since 1994, but Fogcam will always have a special place in its history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two men, who offline respectively answer to Jeff Schwartz and Dan Wong, didn’t immediately clarify why they’re finally pulling the plug. But Schwartz \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/SF-worlds-oldest-webcam-live-stream-Twitch-14341998.php\">suggested to\u003c/a> the San Francisco Chronicle that the cam’s upkeep had just become too difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt it was time to let it go,” he told the newspaper. “The bottom line is that we no longer have a really good view or place to put the camera. The university tolerates us, but they don’t really endorse us, and so we have to find secure locations on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwartz and Wong explain on their site that they’ve “slightly changed campus locations a few times as necessary over the years, to prevent being shut down by the university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"fog\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re careful to clarify on their site that though they may operate the oldest webcam that’s (for now) still around, FogCam is not actually the internet’s first. That honor goes to a camera that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20439301\">trained on a coffee percolator\u003c/a> in the main computer lab at the University of Cambridge. The scientists who got it started in 1991 and brought it online in 1993 figured that having an eye on the appliance would mitigate the dangers of getting unpleasantly surprised by an empty pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coffeepot cam lasted about 10 years before it was turned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, nearly two decades since that cam’s demise, FogCam is eyeing its own approaching quietus, one ambling pedestrian at a time. It will broadcast its last shots online at the end of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it appears that Karl the Fog may come by to bid farewell in person. Currently, \u003ca href=\"https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/San+Francisco+CA+USCA0987:1:US\">the forecast\u003c/a> for that fateful day is partly cloudy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

But at least a couple of things have stayed reliably consistent, such as the distinctive Bay Area fog that’s so familiar it even \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/karlthefog?lang=en\">has a name\u003c/a> (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11682057/how-the-bay-areas-fog-came-to-be-named-karl\">just call it Karl\u003c/a>) and the live webcam that watches it from the campus of San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fogcam.org/\">FogCam\u003c/a> has been around since 1994. That’s old enough to be commonly credited as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/SF-worlds-oldest-webcam-live-stream-Twitch-14341998.php\">world’s oldest webcam\u003c/a> in operation — and one of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.internetlivestats.com/total-number-of-websites/#trend\">oldest websites\u003c/a>, period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the end is coming for FogCam.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We felt it was time to let it go.’\u003ccite>Jeff Schwartz\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“After 25 years, Fogcam is shutting down forever at the end of August,” the site’s creators and administrators, nicknamed Webdog and Danno, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FogCam/status/1162943165122224128\">tweeted on Saturday\u003c/a>. They thanked the university and the cam’s viewers, adding: “The Internet has changed a lot since 1994, but Fogcam will always have a special place in its history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two men, who offline respectively answer to Jeff Schwartz and Dan Wong, didn’t immediately clarify why they’re finally pulling the plug. But Schwartz \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/SF-worlds-oldest-webcam-live-stream-Twitch-14341998.php\">suggested to\u003c/a> the San Francisco Chronicle that the cam’s upkeep had just become too difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt it was time to let it go,” he told the newspaper. “The bottom line is that we no longer have a really good view or place to put the camera. The university tolerates us, but they don’t really endorse us, and so we have to find secure locations on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwartz and Wong explain on their site that they’ve “slightly changed campus locations a few times as necessary over the years, to prevent being shut down by the university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That honor goes to a camera that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20439301\">trained on a coffee percolator\u003c/a> in the main computer lab at the University of Cambridge. The scientists who got it started in 1991 and brought it online in 1993 figured that having an eye on the appliance would mitigate the dangers of getting unpleasantly surprised by an empty pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coffeepot cam lasted about 10 years before it was turned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, nearly two decades since that cam’s demise, FogCam is eyeing its own approaching quietus, one ambling pedestrian at a time.
