What’s covered

In this fireside chat, Katherine Blunt, a Wall Street Journal reporter and Pulitzer finalist, delves into the critical themes of her national bestseller, California Burning. The discussion will examine Pacific Gas & Electric and its link to catastrophic wildfires and profound human costs. Blunt will explore how the utility’s shift from innovation to neglect serves as a cautionary tale for aging infrastructures in the era of climate change. Join us to discuss the pathways to accountability, the evolving landscape of environmental stewardship, and the future role of utilities in adapting to a changed climate.
