Climate change is real. Just accept it.

California governor makes significant concessions to corporate interests in rebuilding wildfire-hit areas

‘Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has once again revealed his true allegiance—not to working people, nor to environmental protection, but to corporate interests.

His latest executive order, which suspends California’s landmark environmental regulations to fast-track utility infrastructure rebuilding in wildfire-affected areas, is a direct attack on democracy, environmental safeguards and working class communities. It is a measure that aligns perfectly with the interests of private energy corporations like Southern California Edison (SCE) while dangerously mirroring the authoritarian methods of the fascistic Trump administration.’

Anyone surprised?

I suppose Newsom is under a lot of pressure to get things rebuilt as soon as possible. Is this course of action really worse in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions than any other he might take?

Los Angeles fires: How the Democrats facilitated utility companies’ criminal neglect

‘The January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles, particularly the devastating Eaton Fire, were not just natural disasters. They were predictable, preventable tragedies enabled by corporate greed and government complicity.’

‘AB 1054 shielded investor-owned utilities like Southern California Edison (SCE) and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) from accountability, transferring the financial burden of wildfires onto the public while utility executives and shareholders reaped massive profits.’

‘Newsom and California’s Democratic leadership sold AB 1054 as a responsible wildfire policy. In reality, it was a bipartisan handout to powerful utility corporations, ensuring their profitability at the expense of public safety.’

One way or another, profit-driven utilities will find ways to make profit. Expect it to come at public expense.

What does that have to do with climate change?
